AT-2206(40)

Attenuators Overview

An attenuator is a device used to reduce the power level of an electrical signal. Generally, attenuators are used to reduce signals that are excessively high in comparison to what is needed for the associated application. This permits the signal to be tailored to meet the precise requirements of a given system, while still providing enough power to reach the destination. Attenuators come in many types and sizes, with some offering only basic power reduction and others offering greater control of the signal.

AT-2206(40) Application Field

The AT-2206(40) is a broadband attenuator that operates over a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz, with an attenuation range of 40 dB. It is designed to be used in a variety of high frequency applications, from radiating and receive systems, to satellite communication systems and test equipment. It is also well suited for laboratory testing and product verification.

AT-2206(40) Working Principle

The AT-2206(40) is a broadband Gaussian Attenuator, which employs a series of diodes to achieve the desired signal reduction. The diodes work in conjunction with a control voltage to create the needed attenuation level. By adjusting this voltage, the diodes can be switched on or off, providing the needed control of the signal. The AT-2206(40) is capable of providing up to 40 dB of attenuation in a wide range of frequencies, from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. Furthermore, it is able to maintain its full attenuation level throughout its frequency range, ensuring that the desired signal reduction is always achieved.

Conclusion

The AT-2206(40) broadband attenuator is a versatile, reliable device for reducing signal levels in a variety of applications. Its wide frequency range and 40 dB of attenuation make it an excellent choice for satellite communication systems, radiating and receive systems, laboratory testing, and product verification. Its robust design and Gaussian operating principle ensure it will provide the utmost reliability and performance in any environment.
