Description

This RF attenuator is designed to reduce signal strength by 3 decibels (dB)—cutting the power to about 50%—across a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz. With a 25 Watt power rating, it’s ideal for moderate-power RF systems where precise signal control and thermal stability are essential. 📐 Key Specifications - Attenuation: 3 dB (reduces signal power by ~50%) - Power Handling: 25 Watts continuous wave (CW) - Frequency Range: DC to 4 GHz - Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female - Impedance: 50 ohms - VSWR: Typically ≤ 1.25:1 - Return Loss: Better than 20 dB - Construction: - Body: Black anodized aluminum or stainless steel - Contacts: Gold-plated beryllium copper - Cooling: Integrated passive heatsink - Operating Temp: -55°C to +125°C - Configuration: Bidirectional (unless otherwise specified) 🧰 Applications - 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 high-power, precision RF environments
