Description

This RF attenuator is designed to deliver 20 decibels (dB) of fixed attenuation—reducing signal power by a factor of 100—across a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. It’s ideal for high-frequency applications where significant signal reduction is needed without compromising impedance matching or signal integrity. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: 20 dB (reduces signal power by 99%) - 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 - Return Loss: Often better than 20 dB, ensuring minimal reflection - Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts, designed for durability and thermal stability - Operating Temp: Usually -20°C to +75°C 🧰 Applications - RF Testing: Protects sensitive instruments by significantly reducing input power - Signal Conditioning: Helps bring high-power signals down to safe levels - Impedance Matching: Maintains system balance in complex RF chains - Telecom, Radar & Defense: Used in systems requiring precise signal control at high frequencies
