100W,DC-18GHz Attenuator, SMA connector, ZSJxx-100RS-18

Chengdu Zysen is proud to introduce the ZSJxx-100RS-8, a high-performance, uni-directional SMA coaxial fixed attenuator engineered for demanding RF and microwave applications. Covering a broad frequency range of DC to 18GHz with attenuation values from 6dB to 60dB, this precision component is ideal for test and measurement, communication systems, defense electronics, and medical equipment where signal integrity and reliability are critical.

The ZSJxx-100RS-18 delivers outstanding attenuation precision across its entire operating range:

• ±0.8dB for 1–10dB attenuation
• ±0.9dB for 11–20dB attenuation
• ±1.1dB for 21–30dB attenuation

This level of accuracy ensures consistent signal conditioning, making the attenuator suitable for sensitive RF chains, calibration setups, and production testing.

With a continuous wave (CW) power rating of 100 watts under normal conditions, the ZSJxx-100RS-18 handles moderate power levels with ease. When operating in high-temperature environments, the device derates linearly to 10W at 125°C, providing predictable performance and built-in thermal protection – a critical feature for system reliability in aerospace, defense, or industrial applications.

A maximum VSWR of 1.45 ensures minimal signal reflection, reducing power loss and maintaining system efficiency. When paired with the precise attenuation characteristics, this low VSWR contributes to cleaner measurements and more stable system operation.

The attenuator features SMA male-to-female connectors constructed, offering:

• Superior mechanical durability under repeated mating cycles
• Excellent corrosion resistance for harsh environments
• Reliable 50Ω impedance matching

The bi-directional design allows the attenuator to be inserted in either orientation, simplifying installation and reducing inventory complexity.

Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C, the ZSJxx-100RS-18 performs reliably in extreme thermal conditions, from cold-start military equipment to hot industrial environments.

• RF test and measurement setups
• Communication infrastructure (5G, satellite, microwave links)
• Defense and aerospace systems
• Medical diagnostic equipment
• Antenna and receiver front-end protection
• Calibration labs and production testing
