ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 Application Field and Working Principle

The ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 is an adjustable attenuator used for a wide variety of applications across many different fields. From industrial applications including level monitoring and gain control to consumer electronics including television receivers and signal processors, the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator is a versatile and powerful tool for many uses. Its application field and working principle can be better understood by taking a closer look at its components, design, and purpose.

Components and Design

At a basic level, the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator consists of a series of resistors connected in parallel. The number of resistors and the resistances of each resistor can be adjusted depending on the application. The key feature of the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator is a pair of adjustable wiper contacts, which can be adjusted to vary the resistance of each resistor in the circuit. This allows the attenuator to adjust the output of the circuit based on the input signal.

The ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator is available in both single- and dual-channel models, with the latter allowing two separate signal paths to be adjusted independently. The attenuator is housed in a durable and weather-resistant plastic housing and can be powered by either a 6-32V dc power supply or a 9-30V ac supply. The attenuator has a max RF input power rating of 50 mW, and a maximum input peak voltage rating of 24V.

Working Principle

The ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator works by using the adjustable wiper contacts to vary the resistance of each component resistor in the attenuator circuit. When the wiper contacts are adjusted, the resistance of each component resistor is changed in relation to the other component resistors. This allows the attenuator to reduce the overall output power of the circuit or to shift the phase of the signal.

The amount of attenuation or phase shift applied to the output signal is determined by the resistance of the component resistors and the position of the adjustable wiper contacts. As the component resistors are adjusted, the output power is attenuated or the phase of the output signal shifted accordingly. This makes the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator a versatile and effective tool for a wide range of applications.

Applications

The adjustable nature of the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator makes it ideal for both commercial and industrial applications. Its ability to quickly and easily adjust the voltage and current output makes it well-suited for use in level monitoring and gain control applications. The ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator is also popular in consumer electronics applications, such as television receivers and signal processors.

The versatility of the ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator makes it an excellent choice for many different applications. Its robust design and adjustable wiper contacts make it a reliable and effective tool for both commercial and industrial use. The ATT-0290-71-HEX-02 attenuator is an indispensable addition to any engineer’s toolbox.
