Product Details
An economical fixed coaxial attenuator with an SMA female-to-male interface and flat, broadband performance from DC to 12 GHz (usable higher). It is available in five attenuation values, 3, 6, 10, 20, and 30 dB, with very low VSWR and a 50 Ω match, making it a clean way to set signal levels, protect receiver and VNA inputs, and improve port match on the bench. Each attenuator is individually hand-tested in the USA on a calibrated VNA, and typical measured S-parameter data is provided in Touchstone (.s2p) format for every value.
- Fixed coaxial attenuator (SMA female to SMA male) with flat, broadband performance from DC to 12 GHz.
- Available in 3, 6, 10, 20, and 30 dB; attenuation held within 0.5 to 1.0 dB of nominal up to 12 GHz, depending on the value.
- Very low VSWR (typically near 1.1:1) across the band; 50 Ω impedance.
- Handles up to 1 W and operates from -40 to +80 °C.
- Each unit is individually hand-tested in the USA on a calibrated VNA, with typical measured S-parameter data (.s2p) provided.
