PDVAT-100M20G-30-8B Active

8 Bit Pin Diode Attenuator

Quantic PMI Model PDVAT-100M20G-30-8B is an 8 Bit programmable 30 dB PIN diode attenuator with a step resolution as low as 0.25 dB over the frequency range of 0.1 to 20 GHz that offers excellent attenuation accuracy and flatness over the entire frequency range. At 30 dB the measured attenuation accuracy is ±0.09 dB and flatness of ±0.87 dB. Operates on a single +12 to +15 VDC supply @ 150 mA. Housing measures 2.0" x 1.8" x 0.5" with 15 Pin Micro-D female control connector (Mating Connector Supplied) and SMA female connectors.
