Mini-Circuits RCDAT-4000-120 Programmable Attenuator
Mini-Circuits RCDAT-4000-120 Programmable Attenuator is a general purpose, single channel programmable attenuator suitable for a wide range of signal level control applications from 1MHz to 4000MHz. This attenuator provides 0dB to 120dB attenuation in 0.25dB steps and is housed in a compact and rugged package. The RCDAT-4000-120 programmable attenuator offers a unique design that maintains linear attenuation change per dB, even at the highest attenuation settings. This attenuator provides SMA female connectors on the bi-directional input and outputRF ports, a standard Ethernet port (RJ45), USB type Mini-B power, and control port. Typical applications include Wi-Fi® device testing, signal level calibration, automated gain control, and laboratory instrumentation.
