WR12, 60–90 GHz Waveguide Fixed Attenuator, 50dB

The 12FA-50-1 is a high-precision, fixed attenuator designed to provide stable 50 dB attenuation across the entire V-band (60–90 GHz) with exceptional return loss. Operating in the WR12 waveguide band, this component is ideal for use in test setups, receiver protection, signal leveling, and isolation applications. Its combination of high attenuation accuracy, ultra-low VSWR (1.25:1 max), and high-power handling capability (1W) makes it a critical building block for millimeter-wave systems. The unit features a standard FUGP740 (UG-387/U) flange for seamless integration into 50-ohm waveguide systems.

    Key Features & Benefits

     High Attenuation Value (50 dB): Provides precise, fixed signal level reduction in a single component, simplifying system design and reducing the need for multiple attenuator stages.

     Broadband V-Band Coverage (60–90 GHz): Covers the full V-band in one unit, making it an ideal solution for millimeter-wave communication, radar, and test applications.

     Ultra-Low VSWR (1.25:1 max): Ensures excellent impedance matching and minimal signal reflection, preserving system performance and protecting sensitive components.

     Low Power Handling (1W max): Suitable for low to medium power test and measurement applications, providing reliable attenuation without risk of damage.

     Standard WR12 Waveguide Interface: Features FUGP740 (UG-387/U) flanges for easy integration with standard V-band waveguide systems.

     Robust Copper Construction: Manufactured from high-quality copper for durability, thermal stability, and consistent electrical performance over time.

     Compact, Precision Design: Maintains a small form factor suitable for dense millimeter-wave system layouts.

    Product Applications

    The 12FA-50-1 is ideally suited for a wide range of millimeter-wave applications, including:

    🔹 Test & Measurement: Precise signal level control and isolation for spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and vector network analyzers operating in the V-band.

    🔹 Radar Systems: Receiver protection and signal leveling for high-frequency imaging, automotive, and surveillance radar.
