RLC offers attenuation ranges of 0 to 15 dB in 1 dB steps or 0 to 70 dB in 10 dB steps. These values can be customized as well to meet your unique, specific system requirements. The attenuators are available in both failsafe and latching operating mode and are also offered with a TTL driver.

Accelerate RF Solutions
Ensure that you have the best possible accuracy of all high power RF measurements with the RF Attenuation Unit from Accel-RF Instruments. Standard fixed attenuators undergo variation in attenuation factor under higher incident powers, which negatively impacts accuracy. Using a novel approach, the RF Attenuation Unit shows negligible change in performance up to 100 W incident over a wide frequency band (1 to 10 GHz) in a compact, bench-top module.

Surface Mount Balun
Replace your clunky multiple balun designs with Marki Microwave’s new broadband 500 kHz to 6 GHz surface mount balun. Offered in a small 0.320" square package, they offer excellent phase match of ±3° and amplitude balance of ±0.4 dB is typical. These baluns offer an elegant solution as the output combiners for DACs, inputs for ADCs, and for eliminating common mode noise in many other applications.
