Description

Here’s a detailed description of a 1 dB, 5 Watt, 6 GHz N-type attenuator, Sunny: 🔧 Overview This RF attenuator is designed to provide 1 decibel (dB) of fixed attenuation—reducing signal power by about 20%—across a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. With a 5 Watt power rating, it’s ideal for higher-power RF applications where minimal signal reduction is needed without compromising system performance. 📐 Key Specifications • Attenuation: 1 dB (approx. 20% power reduction) • Power Handling: 5 Watts continuous wave (CW) • Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz • Connector Type: N-type, male-to-female • VSWR: Typically ≤ 1.25:1, ensuring low signal reflection • Impedance: 50 ohms • Construction: Brass body with BeCu contacts for excellent conductivity • Thermal Design: Passive air-cooled, no external power required 🧰 Applications • Test & Measurement: Protects instruments from slight overdrive • Signal Conditioning: Fine-tunes signal levels in RF chains • Impedance Matching: Helps reduce mismatch losses • Telecom, Radar & Defense: Suitable for high-frequency, moderate-power systems
