DTA-100M40G-30-CD-1-OPT27G Active

5-Bit Programmable PIN Diode Attenuator

Quantic PMI Model DTA-100M40G-30-CD-1-OPT27G is a 5-Bit programmable 30 dB PIN diode attenuator with a step resolution of 1.0 dB over the frequency range of 100 MHz to 27.0 GHz. This model operates on a single +15 VDC supply and draws only 40 mA of current.  Very high levels of attenuation accuracy of 0.6 dB are achieved. This attenuator provides ultra-fast switching speeds of 300 ns and has an operating input power rating of +20 dBm. This model is supplied in a small, light-weight housing measuring 2.0" x 1.8" x 0.5".
