The SKY12361-350LF attenuator is a broadband DC-4GHz device designed to provide accurate RF signal attenuation and is commonly used for cellular/PCS applications. The SKY12361-350LF is available in voltage-controlled (VC) and thermistor-controlled (TC) attenuator models. Both require an external voltage control and are characterized for minimum attenuation variations with temperature.

The SKY12361-350LF attenuator offers excellent repeatability and high linearity. It has low insertion loss, high power handling capacity, and low group delay, while operating within a wide ambient temperature range. The attenuator features a miniature thin-film construction that is housed in a 2.0mm x 2.5mm QFN package with built-in EMI shielding. The high input power makes it suitable for use in applications in which high-power levels are needed, such as cellular/PCS base stations or transmitters used in power amplifiers.

The working principle of the SKY12361-350LF attenuator is based on the principle of variable resistance. The attenuator consists of a series of attenuator cells connected in parallel. Each attenuator cell consists of an element that can be adjusted using an external voltage either larger or smaller than a given reference voltage. When the voltage is increased, the attenuator cell becomes more resistant, while when the voltage is decreased, the resistance is reduced. This process is repeated until the desired attenuation is achieved.

The VC and TC attenuator models of the SKY12361-350LF offer different advantages depending on the application. The VC type is suitable for applications in which a wide frequency range (DC to 4GHz) and low Insertion Loss (IL) is required, while the TC type is more suitable for applications requiring relatively high input power levels and lower return loss.

The SKY12361-350LF is designed for applications such as antenna tuners, phased-array systems, Doppler radar systems, and digital filter networks, networking systems, and test and measurement. It is also commonly used in such applications as cellular/PCS base stations, transmitters, power amplifiers, and satellite systems.

The low noise figure, excellent repeatability, and high linearity (low AM to PM conversion loss) make the SKY12361-350LF an ideal solution for applications requiring broadband attenuation combined with high input power handling. With its low group delay, it is also suitable for applications requiring precise timing control. Additionally, the low insertion loss and miniature size make the attenuator suitable for space constrained applications.

The SKY12361-350LF attenuator is a useful, versatile device designed to provide accurate attenuation in a variety of applications. It offers excellent performance, repeatability, and linearity, in addition to low noise and minimal size. This combination makes it a great solution for applications involving mobile communication, test and measurement, or satellite systems.
