Amphenol RF has introduced a line of high quality SMA and N-Type fixed attenuators to its product portfolio. The attenuators are designed to offer flat attenuation over a designated frequency range and feature a microwave grade resistor that consistently reduces power.
The fixed attenuators are available in straight jack to plug configurations and operate from DC to 6 GHz. The SMA attenuator series have an attenuation range from 1 to 10 dB with ± 0.5 accuracy and can handle an average input power up to 2 W with low VSWR precision performance. The N-Type series have attenuation values from 3 to 30 dB and offer accurate, repeatable performance for 2 W and 5 W power levels. Matched to 50 Ohm impedance, the attenuators have a passivated stainless steel body and hex flats on the body allow the attenuators to be easily torqued to the mating connector.
Amphenol RF coaxial attenuators are manufactured to offer high reliability in applications that require repeatable performance such as testing environments and measurement systems. They are also used in a variety of commercial and military applications where consistency is critical.
