In another innovative move in support of the RF/Microwave Test Engineer, AtlanTecRF has released the ASET range of boxed Attenuator Kits with SMA connectors. Offered in two frequency ranges, DC to 6 GHz and DC to 18 GHz, the ASET series of stainless steel attenuators are supplied in an organised storage box with individual compartments for each value from 1 to 10 dB in 1 dB steps, plus 15, 20 and 30 dB.

PMI Model No. DTA-0R5G18G-60-CD-1 is a non-reflective, 10 bit, programmable 60 dB pin diode attenuator with step resolution as low as 0.06 dB over the frequency range of 0.5 to 18.0 GHz.
Reactel offers their flat pack combline and interdigital filters in a bandpass configuration operating in a frequency range of 2000 to 15000 MHz. These extremely small, surface mount packages are perfect for mobile or man-pack systems, and are rugged enough to withstand the harshest of environments.
Model SFP-123KF-S1 is a resistive diode based passive tripler. The tripler is designed and build with a balanced waveguide configuration, which offers low harmonic emission and high conversion efficiency. The tripler exhibits 20 dB typical conversion loss and converts +20 dBm input power at 20 to 30 GHz to 0 dBm minimum output power at 60 to 90 GHz.
Model SWF-60390350-28-L1 is a custom designed Ka-Band waveguide lowpass filter. The filter features low insertion loss and high rejection. The filter shows 1.2 dB maximum insertion loss from 26 to 60 GHz and greater than 50 dB rejection in the frequency range of 90 to 145 GHz.
PMI Model No. LM-0518-10-1W-SHS-2-M-1218 is a high power limiter that operates from 12.0 to 18.0GHz. This limiter handles 100 W peak power with a pulse width of 1usec. The insertion loss is only 1.5dB typically and has a VSWR of 2.0:1 maximum.
RFMW, Ltd. provides access to a video overview of the Telemakus, LLC series of USB controlled digital attenuators. Using the TEA4000-7 as an example, the video steps through the functionality of the device by using its built-in GUI. The TEA4000-7 is a laboratory-quality, 7-bit digital attenuator with 31.75 dB range in 0.25 dB steps. The attenuator is fully terminated at all ports with a return loss better than 20 dB from 50 MHz to 4 GHz.
Renaissance has developed a new solid state programmable attenuator that can be used to perform fading simulations. The device operates from DC to 3 GHz with 5.5 dB insertion loss and can attenuate 100 dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuator can handle 20 dBm over -40 to +85 C.
Renaissance Electronics has developed a new low PIM attenuator perfect for ATE applications which covers DC to 3.0 GHz. Available in multiple attenuation values and handling 100 W CW, the attenuator exhibits -145 dBc of PIM distortion; making it ideal for test applications which require extremely low PIM.
