Attenuator
A coaxial attenuator
A coaxial attenuator is a linear passive bidirectional transmission line component designed to be inserted between two coaxial lines in order to reduce the input power in a matched system by a predetermined ration without other wise disturbing the behaviour of the equipment.
The ratio of input to output power is expressed in logarithmic terms where 3dB as a power ratio is 2, 6 is 10, 20 dB is 100 and 30 dB is 1000. The power absorbed by an attenuator is returned to the environment through heat transfer by convection or conduction cooling. Parallel with our coaxial connectors, RADIALL offers a wide range of connectorized Terminations and Attenuators.
We have updated our catalogs with the QN and QMA products. Removed some old products dedicated for low frequencies such as 1 & 2 GHz, in order to have our first entry products able to cover more applications up to 3 or 4GHz for low power and up to 3GHz for mid-power. For SMA attenuators mid-frequency such as 8, 12.4 & 15GHz, we will be focused on our DC-18GHz range.
