Fixed N‑Type 25 W RF Attenuator — DC to 3 GHz Key benefits — why you need this attenuator - Precise, reliable power handling: Rated 25 W, this fixed N‑type attenuator manages high-power RF signals without degrading performance, protecting downstream equipment and measurement instruments. - Wide frequency coverage: Operates from DC to 3 GHz, making it suitable for many RF and microwave systems from baseband through UHF. - Accurate, repeatable attenuation: Available attenuation values from 1 dB to 50 dB with defined tolerances, so you can set signal levels predictably for testing, calibration, or system integration. - Strong connectivity and compatibility: Standard N‑type connectors and 50 Ω impedance ensure stable, low‑reflection connections with common RF test gear, amplifiers, transmitters, and receivers. What it does and how it solves problems - Reduces signal amplitude by a fixed, known amount to prevent overload of receivers, analyzers, or mixers. - Provides load matching and isolation between stages to stabilize amplifier performance and prevent oscillation. - Enables safe, repeatable measurements by attenuating high-level signals to instrument-safe ranges. Performance and specifications - Power rating: 25 W (nominal) - Frequency range: DC to 3 GHz - Attenuation range: 1 dB to 50 dB (fixed values available) - Attenuation tolerances: - ±0.5 dB for 1–10 dB settings - ±1.0 dB for 15–30 dB settings - ±1.5 dB for 40 dB setting - Connector type: N‑type - System impedance: 50 Ω Compatibility and use - Designed for 50 Ω RF systems; pairs directly with N‑type equipped test instruments, coaxial cabling, amplifiers, and transceivers. - Passive fixed design requires no power or control circuitry. Practical applications (examples) - Test and measurement: Protect spectrum analyzers and signal generators by attenuating strong signals to instrument-safe levels during receiver linearity, intermodulation, or power calibration tests. - RF system integration: Insert between transmitter and DUT or between amplifier stages to control gain, maintain stability, and manage power distribution in bench or rack systems. - Field service and maintenance: Use in antenna systems, repeater sites, or base station troubleshooting to reduce signal levels for diagnostics and to protect sensitive receivers during commissioning. What makes this attenuator stand out - High 25 W power rating for robust handling of strong signals. - Broad DC–3 GHz coverage for versatile use across many RF applications. - Tight, specified attenuation tolerances for accurate, repeatable signal control. - N‑type connectors and 50 Ω impedance maximize compatibility with standard RF equipment. Ordering and integration notes - Select the required fixed attenuation value (1–50 dB) to match your application and measurement tolerance needs. - Ensure mating cables and equipment use 50 Ω impedance and N‑type terminations for best performance.
