As the concerns for spectrum cluttering persist in the sub-6 GHz frequency range, there is a greater demand for new applications and stifled applications to shift toward higher frequencies. The most accessible frequencies for many applications beyond 6 GHz are between...
RF Fixed Attenuators With 3.5mm Connectors Up To 26.5 GHz
Fixed attenuators are useful for a variety of signal conditioning needs in RF systems. Fixed RF attenuators can be used to provide high precision and known attenuation of incoming signals that may exceed the input requirements of devices like sensitive receivers or...
RF Coaxial Attenuators
RF Coaxial Attenuators, such as Coaxial Fixed Attenuators and Coaxial Variable Attenuators, are used in a wide variety of RF applications to control signal levels, improve impedance matching, and enhance the accuracy of signal generator outputs in test setups. The...
Applications For 26 GHz Attenuators & 26 GHz Terminations
At 26 GHz, there is substantial atmospheric absorption and much higher free space loss than at sub-6 GHz frequencies. Moreover, the interconnect such as 26 GHz attenuators and 26 GHz terminations, to drive a 26 GHz system intrinsically must be more compact than lower...
The Basics of Fixed RF Attenuators
RF circuits useful for lowering signal amplitude by absorbing a fixed amount of RF energy are called fixed RF attenuators. These devices are also used for dissipating excess signal energy, enhancing impedance matching between two components/devices by lowering the...
RF Fixed Coaxial Attenuators Explained
RF Attenuators are widely used throughout the RF/microwave systems to reduce the signal strength in a signal chain for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it is merely advantageous to lower the signal strength at the output of a RF attenuator without otherwise...
Types Variable/Programmable Attenuators For Receiver Sensitivity Testing
Receiver sensitivity testing is one of the most crucial tests for a prototype or production receiver. This type of test is often performed to either determine the extent of the capability of a new receiver design/communication technology, or as part of a certification...
