Digital Attenuator Box RF2026

4-channel, 0.1-8 GHz, 20-110 dB, rack mount

Digitally controlled, this RF attenuator box only occupies one heigh unit in a 19″ rack. Apart from the compact design, it offers good attenuation accuracy, high dynamic range and speed.

The high performance of the attenuator box is obtained through a high precision attenuator design, along with extensive factory calibration procedures. Although the nominal setting is done with a 1 dB granularity, the actual attenuation is fed back from the attenuator. For the frequency range up to 6 GHz, this yields knowledge of the actual attenuation within +/-0.5 dB.
