50P-2014 USB controlled programmable attenuator

USB programmable attenuator with SMA femaleUSB Attenuator (50 Ohm Solid-State)

The USB attenuator has become a popular choice for companies and universities with its small size and ability to be easily controlled using the USB port of a computer. The attenuator models listed below are all bi-directional solid-state step attenuators with 50 Ohm impedance. These attenuators are ideal for fade testing cellular or Wi-Fi devices. Our test software can control multiple USB attenuators simultaneously allowing for handover testing from a single GUI menu. If you do not find an exact match for your requirement please contact our engineering department with your RF specifications.

Test Software for USB Attenuators

Every USB attenuator from JFW ships with our GUI test software. The test software will auto-discover any JFW USB attenuator that is connected to the computer. The test software can control multiple USB attenuators simultaneously. The test software requires Microsoft Windows Vista or greater. Our test software manual details all of its functionality like built-in attenuator fade and dual attenuator handover.

Python Library Available

Several of our customers use Python to run test scripts that control multiple pieces of RF test equipment. JFW developed a Python library (jfwusb.py) that allows our USB attenuators to be integrated into the test scripts. Email our engineering department for the Python library and examples.

For your specific application, please contact JFW for assistance or use our Inquiry Form.
