- Function and primary benefit - Fixed RF attenuator with an N-type connector that reliably reduces signal amplitude to prevent receiver overload, protect downstream equipment, and set repeatable signal levels for testing and calibration. - Key performance attributes - Power handling: rated for 25 W continuous power, allowing it to manage relatively high-power signals without performance degradation. - Frequency range: covers DC to 3 GHz, making it suitable for a wide range of RF applications across low- and mid-band frequencies. - Connector compatibility: N-type interface ensures robust mechanical connection and compatibility with many common RF systems and test instruments. - Why you need it - Protects sensitive receivers and instruments from high input levels. - Enables accurate, repeatable measurements by providing a known, fixed attenuation point in the signal path. - Simplifies system integration by using a standard N-type connector compatible with laboratory and field equipment. - Practical applications - Test and measurement: use between transmitters and spectrum analyzers or power meters to set safe signal levels and improve measurement consistency. - RF system installation and maintenance: protect base station equipment, repeaters, and amplifiers during alignment and troubleshooting. - Development and lab work: provide a stable attenuation reference when prototyping RF circuits or verifying component behavior across DC–3 GHz. - What makes it stand out - Combines solid power handling (25 W) with a broad DC–3 GHz frequency response and industry-standard N-type connectivity for flexible, dependable use in both bench and field environments. Compatibility note: designed to connect with equipment using N-type connectors and to operate across the stated power and frequency range.
