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