Other Features

  • Continuously Variable Attenuation - Most models are in linear scales, and low frequency sensitivity with broad frequency coverage, resulting from the use of proven Weinschel resistive films.
  • Direct Reading - Individually calibrated incremental insertion loss dials.
  • Stability - The resistive elements located in these Variable Attenuators provide long-term stability over temperature and humidity.
  • Quality Connectors - Most Aeroflex / Weinschel Variable Attenuators are supplied with stainless steel Type N or SMA connectors that mate nondestructively with connectors per MIL-C-39012.
  • Broadband - The Aeroflex / Weinschel Precision Continuously Variable Attenuator line provides a selection of frequency ranges from dc to 4.2 GHz, continuous incremental attenuation ranges up to 127 dB, and input handling capabilities to 5 watts.
  • Custom Designs Available on Request - Just contact us with your special requirement, such as different frequency ranges, connector options, and special testing.
  • High Repeatability.
