PIN DIODE ATTENUATORS
Fe a t u re s
PIN diode attenuators are prim arily used in applications where control
power level is needed (i.e. in system like AGC (Autom atic Gain Control).
These attenuators are current-controlled and can be proposed in a wide
range of frequency from 0.5 to 18 GHz.
They provide a wide dynam ic range up to 48 dB with high perform ances,
and bandwidth greater than octave bandwidth.
De s c rip t io n
The Axxx series Silicon PIN diode attenuators are designed for narrow & broadband application with
high power capability up to 5W CW. TEMEX offers sm all and herm etic packages for better integration
and custom design.
Additional characteristics and custom design are available on request!
