The M9168C from Keysight Technologies is a programmable step attenuator module based on PXI hybrid platform. It operates from DC to 26.5 GHz with a broad attenuation range from 0 to 101 dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuator has a low insertion loss of 0.03 dB, repeatable throughout the operating life up to 5 million cycles per section. It is ideal for RF signal path attenuation simulation, engineering verification, receiver sensitivity and testing adjacent channel interference.
