Adjustable attenuators in the microwave band

Adjustable RF attenuators use resistive networks to enhance signal loss manually or electrically. Precision versions include sensitivity of 0. Unlike their fixed peers, variable attenuators can be changed dynamically, which lets technical teams fine-tune. Variable attenuators from Fairview Microwave have 7 dB to 90 dB maximum attenuation and frequency maximums between 2 GHz and 18 GHz depending on the model. They are used for AGC loops and test fixtures, specified by range, flatness, insertion loss, and power handling. Variable Attenuators from the leading. Analog Devices' RF attenuators are available in a broad range of architectures and form factors, giving designers the flexibility to select a part that best aligns with their system requirements.
