Pasternack Enterprises low-frequency attenuators

Pasternack Enterprises has released a line of 3 and 4 GHz frequency attenuators. The range of low-frequency coaxial attenuators is specially suited to in-the-field uses and other general-purpose applications where stainless steel designs and high performance are not required.

The fixed attenuators come in combinations of SMA and N connectors. They operate to a maximum frequency of 4 GHz, depending on the configuration, and come in 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 dB attenuator varieties. A total of 63 directional and bidirectional models are available and all are RoHS and REACH compliant.

Depending on the design, the 50Ω RF microwave attenuators have peak power ratings from 5 to 200 W. They are manufactured with large aluminium heat sink cooling fins to quickly dissipate heat during operation. This enables them to effectively operate between temperatures of -55 to +125°C, making them suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.
