This is a precision coaxial RF attenuator designed to reduce signal strength by 1 decibel (dB) while maintaining signal integrity across a wide frequency range—DC to 6 GHz. It’s commonly used in RF testing, signal conditioning, and communication systems where slight attenuation is needed without significantly distorting the signal. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: Fixed at 1 dB (reduces signal power by ~20%) - Power Handling: Up to 2 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, typically male-to-female - VSWR: Around 1.25:1, ensuring minimal signal reflection - Impedance: 50 ohms, standard for RF systems - Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts for durability and conductivity - Cooling: Passive (air-cooled), no external power required 🧰 Applications - Test and Measurement: Protects sensitive instruments by slightly reducing input power - Signal Leveling: Helps balance signal levels across components - Impedance Matching: Minimizes mismatch losses in RF chains - Microwave Systems: Suitable for high-frequency environments like radar, telecom, and defense systems
