Attenuators

Voltage Controlled Linearized



Our family of voltage controlled linearized attenuators are available from 0.25-16.0 GHz with attenuation ranges of 32 and 64 dB. Each model includes an integrated linearizer, and a driver that controls the attenuation level. Pin diodes are used.

Notes:
Transfer Function = 8 dB/Volt Typical for 32dB attenuator range.
16dB/Volt Typical for 64dB attenuator range.
Operating Power = + 20 dBm
Power Handling  = +27 dBm max.
Operating Temperature = -25°C to + 80°C
DC Supply = +12 to +15 Volts @ 100mA Typical.
                    -12 to -15 Volts @ 50mA Typical.

These Attenuators are bi-directional. Either J1 or J2 can be used as input.
