This RF attenuator is designed to reduce signal strength by 5 decibels (dB) across a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz, making it ideal for moderate signal reduction in high-frequency systems. It’s commonly used in RF labs, telecom setups, and defense-grade signal chains where precise attenuation is needed without compromising signal integrity. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: Fixed at 5 dB (reduces signal power by ~68%) - Power Handling: 2 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female - VSWR: Typically 1.25:1, ensuring low reflection and good matching - Impedance: 50 ohms - Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts, 19 mm hex nut for easy installation - Cooling: Passive, air-cooled—no external power required 🧰 Applications - Test & Measurement: Protects instruments by reducing input power - Signal Balancing: Helps equalize signal levels across RF paths - Impedance Matching: Reduces mismatch losses in complex RF networks - Microwave & Defense Systems: Suitable for radar, satellite, and secure comms
