Attenuators are devices that reduce the amplitude of an electrical signal but maintain its waveform. Their primary purpose is to help protect the higher priced circuits from those with greater amplitudes. The HMC939ALP4E from the Hittite Microwave Corporation is an example of an attenuator. This device is a reflective absorptive waveguide attenuator that works between 8 and 10 GHz, and is optimized for linear performance. It has an attenuation range of 10 dB, and is MAR managed.

The application field of the HMC939ALP4E is best suited for high power microwave amplifiers and power dividers. It is also used in high frequency applications such as satellite communications, radar and military applications. It can handle input signals up to +30dBm giving it the ability to reduce high amplitude signals without distorting their waveforms. Additionally, its low insertion loss provides enhanced system performance by reducing signal loss. This also makes it ideal for systems with limited space as it is very compact.

The HMC939ALP4E is designed in a rectangular waveguide package and its operation is based on the absorption of the incident power in a dielectric medium. It works by converting the incident electric and magnetic fields into heat. This is achieved by using metalized walls and contacts in the dielectric medium that absorb energy and release it as heat (dissipation). This produces attenuation of the incident power and its effects are frequency independent.

The HMC939ALP4E can also be used in semiconductor testing. Its clamped plate design allows it to provide high isolation and uniform attenuation without power reflections that could lead to distortion. As such, this attenuator can provide ideal solutions to bias and impedance mismatch problems in RF testing.

The HMC939ALP4E also excels at providing smooth operation without any reduction of its frequency range or insertion loss. Employing this device in applications involving wide frequency ranges can lead to improved system performance. It also features high linearity, enabling it to negate signal distortion.

In summary, the HMC939ALP4E is a reflective absorptive waveguide attenuator that can reduce the amplitude of an electrical signal while maintaining its waveform. It is most suited for high power microwave amplifiers, power dividers, satellite communications, radar and military applications. Additionally, its low insertion loss and clamped plate design allow it to provide ideal solutions to bias and impedance mismatch problems in RF testing. Furthermore, it offers smooth operation across wide frequency ranges and high linearity in order to negate signal distortion.
