Performance Comparison of Adjustable Attenuator Tracking Resistance and Selection Guide
Attenuation can be realized by disruption of signal propagation, which is induced by moving electrodes placed next to a signal line. There are two main types of RF attenuators: fixed and variable. Fixed Attenuators: Provide a fixed amount of attenuation, typically designed using discrete or chip resistors. By controlling the voltage across the FET or the current across a diode, their RF resistances can be almost infinitely varied. Fixed attenuators provide a constant level of attenuation; step attenuators offer precise control with. A Kratos General Microwave PIN diode Microwave and RF attenuators cover the frequency range from 200 MHz to 40 GHz and are available in numerous configurations to permit the user to optimize system performance. Most designs are available with either analog or digital control, operating over octave.
