Space Attenuators
SV Microwave has developed a line of Select on Test Space Attenuators that are designed to fine tune the RF power levels of microwave circuits in satellites. This product line features SMP Male-to-Male and Male-to-Female configurations that are rated to work through 40 GHz at a variety of attenuation values.
Features / Benefits:
- 1, 3, 6, and 10 dB attenuator values are available off the shelf
- ½ dB increments from 0- 10 dB can be made to order
- Higher vibration and shock level tolerances
- SMP interface offers smaller diameter and lightweight option to threaded connectorized attenuators
- DC - 40GHz
Applications:
- Space payload
- LEO, MEO and GEO Satellites
The specifications below are typical for the connector series, but may not apply to this particular part. Please see the datasheet for full specifications.
