The FMAT8008 from Fairview Microwave is a Solid-State Programmable Attenuator that operates from 0.1 to 40 GHz. This 5-bit, TTL controlled attenuator has an attenuation range from 0 to 31 dB with step sizes of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB. It can handle an input power of up to 25 dBm, has an attenuation switching speed of 200 ns and an insertion loss of less than 9 dB. The attenuator requires DC supplies of +5 V and -5 V and consumes 10 mA of current. It is available in a module that measures 28.4 x 37.0 x 9.4 mm and has SMA-female connectors. The attenuator is ideal for military & commercial communication systems, microwave radio systems, radar systems, test & measurement, research & development, RF wideband front-end applications.
