Description

This RF attenuator is engineered to reduce signal strength by 10 decibels (dB)—cutting the power to one-tenth of its original level—across a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. It’s ideal for applications requiring significant signal reduction while maintaining impedance matching and low reflection. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: Fixed at 10 dB (reduces signal power by 90%) - 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 minimal signal reflection - Impedance: 50 ohms - Return Loss: Better than 15 dB, indicating good signal integrity - Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts, 19 mm hex nut for easy installation - Operating Temp: Generally -20°C to +75°C 🧰 Applications - RF Testing: Prevents overloading of sensitive instruments - Signal Conditioning: Reduces signal levels to meet system requirements - Impedance Matching: Helps maintain consistent impedance across RF paths - Telecom & Defense: Used in radar, satellite, and secure communication systems
