Model series 352-363-XXX from BroadWave Technologies are 50 Ohm fixed attenuators rated 500-W average power with 1.45:1 maximum VSWR. The operating frequency range is DC to 8.5 GHz, attenuation values are 10, 20, 30 and 40 dB, and the operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C. The attenuators come with N male input and N female output RF connectors.
Useful for analyzing harmonic signals or isolating a device under test, these attenuators reduce the amount of power delivered in a transmission line without introducing much noise or distortion. Applications include test equipment, telecommunication systems, base stations, radar applications, high precision applications such as military and defense programs.
