The ZTDAT-8-13G90S from Mini-Circuits is an 8x8 Multi-Channel Programmable Attenuator Matrix that operates from 10 MHz to 13 GHz. It consists of 8 independently controlled channels with each channel providing up to 90 dB of attenuation in 0.5 dB steps. This attenuator has an insertion loss of less than 15.5 dB and provides an isolation of more than 90 dB. It supports some of the most common communication bands such as LTE, 4G/5G, IoT, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi 6E, and others. This variable attenuator matrix can be controlled via USB or Ethernet (supporting HTTP, Telnet, TCP/IP, UDP protocols). It is provided with full software support, a user-friendly GUI application for Windows, and a full API with programming instructions for both Windows and Linux OS.
The ZTDAT-8-13G90S is available in a 2U rack-mount enclosure that measures 19.00 x 3.48 x 13.00 inches and has SMA (female) connectors. This multi-channel attenuator is ideal for transmission loss simulation, signal fading, and MIMO measurement applications. It requires an AC supply of 90-260 V and can operate over a temperature range of 0 to 50 ºC.
