Description

This high-power RF attenuator is designed to reduce signal strength by 10 decibels (dB)—cutting the power to 1/10th of its original level—across a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz. With a 100 Watt CW rating, it’s ideal for transmitter testing, radar systems, and high-power RF chains where moderate attenuation is needed without compromising performance. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: 10 dB (90% power reduction) - Power Handling: 100 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 4 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female - Impedance: 50 ohms - VSWR: Typically ≤ 1.20:1 - Return Loss: Better than 20 dB - Construction: - Body: Black anodized aluminum or stainless steel - Contacts: Gold-plated beryllium copper - Cooling: Integrated heatsink for passive thermal dissipation - Configuration: Bidirectional (either port can be used as input) - Operating Temp: -55°C to +125°C 🧰 Applications - High-Power RF Testing: Prevents overload of analyzers and receivers - Signal Conditioning: Reduces signal levels to meet system specs - Impedance Matching: Maintains system balance in complex RF chains - Radar, Defense & Broadcast: Ideal for systems requiring precise, high-power signal control
