• Description
• Fairview Microwave carries a broad selection of fixed attenuators with a wide range of attenuation levels, frequency ranges, and power
• dissipation ranges. Also known as RF pads, RF microwave attenuators lower the amplitude of a signal (or attenuate) a known amount. These
• attenuator pads can be used in a wide variety of applications including reducing a signal level to protect measurement equipment or other
• circuitry, extending the range of power meters and amplifiers, and impedance matching circuits by reducing the VSWR seen by adjacent
• components. RF attenuators can prevent signal overload in amplifiers, receivers and detectors, adjusting the signal level to a range that is
• optimal.
• Few RF components are as commonly used as fixed coaxial attenuators, and Fairview Microwave carries one of the largest in-stock varieties
• and ships them same day. The SA18SFSF25W-03 is a 3 dB Fixed Attenuator that operates from DC to 18 GHz and is rated to 25 Watts. The
• versatile coaxial package uses SMA female connectors. The Black Anodized Aluminum Heatsink body allows for efficient heat dissipation
• under high power usage conditions.
