DC–4 GHz, 2W N-type Male → Female RF Coaxial Fixed Attenuator, 50 Ω, available in 1–40 dB Key benefits and why you need it - Protects sensitive receivers and test equipment by reducing incoming RF power to safe levels. - Preserves system impedance (50 Ω) to minimize reflections and maintain signal integrity across the DC–4 GHz range. - Provides repeatable, fixed attenuation values (1–40 dB options) for consistent level control during testing, alignment, or system integration. - Simple inline connection with N-type male to female connectors makes installation fast and reliable. Core functions and performance - Frequency range: DC to 4 GHz — compatible with most RF systems and components operating up to 4 GHz. - Power handling: 2 W continuous — suitable for typical bench and low-power field use as a load/protection element. - Impedance: 50 ohm — ensures proper matching with standard RF test equipment, antennas, amplifiers, and transceivers. - Connector type: N-type male to female — robust threaded coaxial connection for secure, low-loss interfacing. - Fixed attenuator design — provides stable, known attenuation without tuning or adjustment. Practical applications - Protect a spectrum analyzer or receiver when measuring high-level signals by inserting the attenuator between the antenna or source and the instrument. - Reduce signal level between a transmitter and a directional coupler or amplifier during alignment and bench testing. - Level-match components in RF systems (e.g., front-end modules, filters, or measurement setups) to avoid overdrive and to stabilize measurements. What makes it stand out - Wide usable bandwidth (DC–4 GHz) covers the majority of RF lab and field applications up to 4 GHz. - N-type connectors offer durable, low-loss connections for repeated use. - Fixed attenuation values from 1 to 40 dB provide straightforward, predictable signal reduction for protection and measurement accuracy. Compatibility and handling notes - Use inline between two N-type connectors or with appropriate adapter when integrating with other connector types. - Ensure the 2 W continuous dissipation limit is not exceeded; for higher power applications consider additional power margin or external attenuation stages. - Maintains 50 Ω system matching when used in standard 50 Ω RF setups.
