Quad Attenuator, 0-31dB x 1dB steps, 0.1-18GHz, Ethernet/RS-232 remote control

4 Channel Attenuator Assembly Covering 100 MHz to 18 GHz

November 10, 2017/in New Products, Test Systems/by JFW Eng Dept

JFW model 50BA-032-31 SMA is a 4 channel attenuator assembly that covers 0.1-18 GHz. Each channel consists of a solid-state programmable attenuator with attenuation range 0 to 31dB in 1 dB steps. Each attenuator can be controlled individually or as a group. This benchtop attenuator assembly is remotely controlled via Ethernet/RS-232 and manually via momentary toggles on the front panel.

The current attenuation setting for each attenuator is displayed on the front panel. Whether the attenuators are changed by a remote user or manually, the attenuation displayed will be updated immediately. This is very useful when running remote scripts so that you can see that attenuator settings changing as the script executes.

What is the use of a fixed attenuator?April 15, 2024 - 11:36 am
A fixed attenuator has two main uses: decrease signal power level, improve poor VSWR. A fixed attenuator is a passive device with internal resistors whose resistive values are calculated base on the impedance (50 Ohm or 75 Ohm) and the desired attenuation value. The attenuation value is expressed in terms of decibel (dB). When the […]

Understanding the difference between reactive and resistive power dividers will help you create the best functionality for your RF testing setup. Their functionality is similar but yet different. Resistive Power Dividers Their construction is a star configuration. All ports are symmetrical. There is no common port with resistive type design. The star configurations functions as […]
What are the 3 types of electro-mechanical RF switches?April 11, 2024 - 11:38 am
The goal of this application note is to differentiate the three different types of electro-mechanical RF switch types. Each type has its own unique functionality and its own pros and cons. Understanding their differences is key to getting the functionality you require. There is a cost tradeoff for latching and failsafe/normally open functionality. Mechanically latching […]
