Description

This RF attenuator is designed to reduce signal strength by 40 decibels (dB)—cutting the power to 1/10,000th of its original level—across a frequency range of DC to 3 GHz. With a 10 Watt power rating, it’s ideal for low-to-moderate power RF systems where high attenuation is needed without compromising impedance matching or thermal stability. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: 40 dB (99.99% power reduction) - Power Handling: 10 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 3 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female - Impedance: 50 ohms - VSWR: Typically ≤ 1.2:1 - Return Loss: Better than 20 dB - Construction: - Body: Black anodized aluminum heatsink - Contacts: Gold-plated brass or beryllium copper - Cooling: Passive, with integrated heatsink - Operating Temp: -55°C to +125°C - Configuration: Bidirectional (unless otherwise specified) 🧰 Applications - RF Testing: Protects analyzers and receivers from high-power signals - Signal Isolation: Reduces interference and crosstalk in dense RF environments - Impedance Matching: Maintains system balance in complex RF chains - Radar, Defense & Broadcast: Ideal for systems requiring precise, high-attenuation signal control
