Spectrum Microwave's Attenuator products are offered in both Digital and Voltage Variable configurations. Formerly the product line from Amplifonix, Digital Attenuators are available in frequency ranges from 10 to 2000 MHz. Integrated TTL drivers simplify system integration. Choose either PIN Diode or GaAs FET based switching, depending upon switching speed requirements. Digital attenuation steps are available from 0.1 dB to 63.5 dB. When voltage variable gain control is required, Voltage Variable Attenuators (VVAs) are available in frequency ranges from 5 to 2000 MHz.

Digital attenuation values from 0.1 dB to 63.5 dB
Digital attenuators with 4, 5 or 7 steps
Switching speeds as low as 20 ns
Analog attenuation values from 15 to 40 dB
TTL Control

Linearizers

When coupled with a TG9001 (or smiliar Voltage Variable Attenuator), Linearizers change the attenuation versus control voltage curve to a linear function. Available in a 5 pin TO-8 and 12 pin TO-8B as well as Flatpacks, Surface Mount Packages and Connectorized Housings.

	Frequency Range (MHz)		Bias		Min. Attenuation @Vcontrol = -10 Volts	Max. Attenuation @Vcontrol = -10 Volts	Linearity Over Min/Max Attenuation Range
Model	Low	High	+V	-V	Typ.	Typ.	Typ.	Typ.
TL9003	10	1000	+15	-15	3 dB	20 dB	<+1 dB	+2 dB
TL9007	10	1000	+12	-12	3 dB	20 dB	<+1 dB	+2 dB

Linearized Attenuator

Linearized Attenuators change the attenuation versus tuning voltage curve to a linear function. Available in 5 pin TO-8 and 12 pin TO-8B as well as Flatpacks, Surface Mount Packages and Connectorized Housings.

	Frequency Range (MHz)		Bias		Min. Attenuation @Vcontrol = -10 Volts	Max. Attenuation @Vcontrol = -10 Volts	Linearity Over Min/Max Attenuation Range
