Digital Attenuator
Mini-Circuits’ model ZX76-50G-30-V+ is a 50 Ω digital step attenuator with attenuation range of 0 to 31.5 dB from 0.1 to 50.0 GHz. Its 6-b parallel control adjusts attenuation in 0.5 dB steps with typical switching speed of 330 ns. The attenuator operates with single (+3.3 V) or dual (+3.3, -3.0 V) power supplies and typical VSWR of 1.50:1. The RoHS-compliant attenuator is equipped with female 2.4 mm connectors and can handle input power levels as high as +28 dBm. It is well suited for communications, electronic warfare and test systems.

Custom Capacitor Assemblies
Passive Plus Inc. (PPI) offers custom capacitor assemblies for high power requirements. Typical assemblies are configured in series and/or parallel combinations, producing higher voltage/current handling capabilities, extended capacitance range and tighter tolerances. PPI works with requesting engineers to determine best assembly for their applications. All assembly components receive 100 percent partial discharge and 100 percent sonoscan for internal defects prior to assembly. Final assemblies then receive 100-hour burn-in, assuring highest quality and reliability.
