This RF attenuator is designed to provide 30 decibels (dB) of fixed attenuation—reducing signal power by a factor of 1, 000—across a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. It’s ideal for applications requiring substantial signal reduction while maintaining excellent impedance matching and low reflection. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: 30 dB (reduces signal power by 99.9%) - Power Handling: 2 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female - Impedance: 50 ohms - VSWR: Typically ≤ 1.25:1 (some models as low as 1.15:1) - Return Loss: Often better than 20 dB - Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts, nickel-plated for durability - Operating Temp: Commonly -33°C to +55°C or wider 🧰 Applications - High-Attenuation Testing: Protects sensitive instruments from high-power signals - Signal Isolation: Reduces crosstalk and interference in dense RF environments - Impedance Matching: Maintains system balance in complex RF chains - Telecom, Radar & Defense: Used in systems requiring precise signal control at high frequencies
