ATTENUATORS

Our Most Important Connection is with You.™

Introduction
Attenuators are linear passive bidirectional transition line components designed to be inserted between two
coaxial lines in order to reduce the input power in a matched system by a predetermined ratio. This ratio is
expressed in logarithmic terms.
3 dB as a power ratio is 2, 6 dB is 4, 20 dB is 100 and 30 dB is 1000 etc…
Attenuators are applied in Test & Measurement, defense, space and thermal vacuum applications.
