Service Description

End Product + Design Documents + Production Documents

This is a fixed 15 dB attenuator featuring a resistive PI pad design. It has a 50 Ohm impedance and operates over a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz. The attenuator includes an SMA male connector on one end and an SMA female connector on the other. It is rated for up to 2 Watts of power and is suitable for RF and microwave applications requiring consistent signal attenuation.

Features

• Bidirectional
• DC to 3 GHz Frequency Range
• Attenuation 15±0.75 dB
• Max Power 2 Watts (CW)
• VSWR < 1.2:1

This fixed coaxial attenuator offers 15 dB attenuation and operates over a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz. Designed with a resistive PI pad configuration, it provides a consistent 50 Ohm impedance and supports a maximum power rating of 2 Watts. The attenuator is equipped with SMA male to SMA female connectors for seamless integration into RF systems.

Fixed attenuators are essential components used to reduce signal amplitude to prevent overload in amplifiers, receivers, and detectors, to match impedance, and to extend the dynamic range of measurement equipment. These components are widely employed in both lab and field RF applications. This model is REACH and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environments with strict material standards.
