The 10W Attenuator is a fixed, power RF attenuator designed for DC to 3 GHz operation. It provides precise, fixed attenuation values across a wide range, including 1 dB through 40 dB, to suit diverse testing and measurement tasks. With a 10 W input power rating, it is suitable for demanding lab and field environments while helping protect sensitive equipment and improve measurement accuracy. Key benefits Protect receivers and analyzers by reliably reducing RF levels to safe, usable levels. Enable accurate, repeatable measurements with predictable attenuation at the source. Broad frequency coverage from DC to 3 GHz supports a variety of test applications and equipment. power handling up to 10 W allows use with strong test signals without overloading the attenuator. Setandforget operation with fixed attenuation values provides quick, hassle signal conditioning. Simple integration into existing test setups without the need for constant calibration or adjustment. Key attributes Attenuation values: 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB, 5 dB, 6 dB, 10 dB, 15 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB, 40 dB Frequency range: DC to 3 GHz Power rating: 10 W maximum input power Type: fixed attenuator Designed for reliable performance in lab and field applications Aligns with the product's specification as a DC3 GHz, 1 dB variant capable attenuator Applications and use cases Lab calibration and signal conditioning: Use to lower signal levels for sensitive test instruments (receivers, spectrum analyzers) and ensure safe, repeatable measurements across the DC to 3 GHz range. Transmittertoreceiver level matching: Employ to set precise signal levels, protecting downstream equipment and achieving accurate link budget assessments during system integration. Production testing and QA: Apply in manufacturing and quality assurance to test devices under controlled input levels, verifying performance across defined attenuation steps without varying gain. Notes on suitability This attenuator covers DC to 3 GHz and supports fixed attenuation options from 1 dB to 40 dB, with a 10 W power handling capability, making it a versatile choice for RF test benches, calibration setups, and system validation tasks.
