What is Wi-Fi 6E? This refers to the IEEE 802.11ax-2021 standard that was approved in February 2021. In addition to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it also utilizes new spectrum in the so-called “6 GHz band” that covers from 5.925 – 7.125 GHz. In anticipation of this development, over the last few years […]
Why use a USB Attenuator? In RF test labs, programmable attenuators and RF switches are a basic building block of performance testing. Programmable attenuators are used in fading, handover, and rate vs range testing. Among other things, RF switches are used in signal routing, component bypassing and switched filter banks. To fill this need, JFW […]
Now available from JFW: USB Programmable Attenuators with 0.25 dB & 0.5 dB step size up to 3 GHz. The majority of programmable attenuators available have 1 dB steps. However, for some applications, such as satellite communication testing, smaller step sizes can be beneficial. For those cases, these three models can provide that capability. New […]
JFW is excited to announce a new dual rotary attenuator, 50DR-141, that covers LTE Band 42. It functions from DC up to 3600 MHz. This attenuator handles up to 2 Watts of RF power. The maximum attenuation is 40 dB in 1 dB increments. The 50DR-141 has mounting holes in the front plate for easy […]
With the recent announcement of new 1P6T and 1P12T models, JFW is now able to offer an entire line of 75 Ohm electro-mechanical RF switches for cable TV and VSAT testing applications. All models cover a frequency range of DC-2150 MHz, are self-terminating, and come standard with F female connectors (75 Ohm BNC and N also […]
