Digitally Controlled Attenuators Offering options that include digital control with up to 4K of resolution, any desired control input slope characteristic, narrowband optimized performance, temperature compensation, video filtering and sub-assembly integration.  Operating frequency ranges span from 250 MHz to 40 GHz in up to 9:1 bandwidths.

 Frequency Ranges:  From 250 MHz to 40 GHz, any optimized bandwidth is available.

 TTL Compatible Logic:  Binary logic Digital-to-Analog converter with 8 inputs:  Logic ‘1’/BIT = 256 discrete values of attenuation or all Logic ‘0’ = Insertion Loss.  Any resolution up to 12 BITs is available.

 High Speed Switching:  Attenuators listed are measured from any set value to any set value.  Switching speeds up to 300 ƞSec on request.

 Low DC Power Consumption:  Attenuators require ±15 VDC, ±1% @ +100/-50 mA.

 Operating Temperature Range:  Standard models include temperature compensation in a range from 0° to +50° C.  For more severe environments, please consult the factory.

 Stable Attenuation:  Variation vs. temperature from -55° to +85° C is typically ±10% of the set value.  Temperature compensated models are ±2%.

 High RF Power Handling:  For power levels greater than listed, please consult the factory.

 Standard Interfaces:  RF port connectors are ‘SMA’ female per MIL-C-39012.  Please consult the factory for additional options.
