Key features - Power handling: 2 W - Connector: BNC-JK - Frequency range: DC-3GHz / 4GHz - Attenuation options: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 dB available; and a 1-10 dB range with tolerance ±0.5 dB; and a 15-40 dB range with tolerance ±1 dB Why you need this - Precise signal level control - Use this attenuator to set exact input levels for RF receivers, upconverters, or test equipment, protecting sensitive components and ensuring repeatable measurements. - Flexible attenuation for testing and calibration - With a wide selection of fixed attenuation steps plus a continuous 1-10 dB range and a higher 15-40 dB range, you can tailor attenuation to match your signal chain and measurement needs. - Reliable RF performance - Designed to handle up to 2 W of RF power while delivering consistent attenuation across a wide frequency range, aiding stable test results. How it stands out - Wide frequency coverage - Suitable for DC to 3 GHz or up to 4 GHz applications, enabling use in common lab, test bench, and field setups. - Precise attenuation with clear tolerances - Low range accuracy of ±0.5 dB (1-10 dB) and higher range accuracy of ±1 dB (15-40 dB) provide reliable signal level control across settings. - Easy integration - BNC-JK connectors simplify compatibility with standard RF equipment and test rigs. Practical uses - RF test bench calibration - Insert the attenuator into the signal path to establish known input levels for spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes with RF front-ends, or ADC test benches. - Link budget and system validation - Use the multiple attenuation steps to simulate worst-case and typical signal conditions, helping verify receiver sensitivity and transmitter headroom. - Equipment protection during measurements - Apply controlled attenuation to prevent overload of sensitive receivers or front-end electronics during high-power or pulsed tests. Notes on compatibility and performance - The device uses BNC-JK connectors for straightforward integration with common RF hardware. - Attenuation options cover a broad range of needs, from fine adjustments (1-10 dB range) to larger signal reductions (15-40 dB range), with specified tolerances to support precise measurements. - Power handling is rated at 2 W, suitable for many laboratory and test environment applications.
