Waveguide Attenuators

Dolph Microwave offers different types of attenuators in microwave. Typical Attenuation values are 3dB, 6dB, 10dB, 20dB and 30dB (other attenuation values available, consult sales engineers for details). The assembly construction includes a precision element for optimum electrical performance, but note that Attenuation vs. Frequency can vary greatly depending on the attenuation at a given frequency. For more, please contact.

Note: Low power fixed attenuator and variable types of attenuator in microwave are still available

Application of Waveguide Attenuators

Microwave attenuators, passive waveguide components, are for controlling microwave power amount transferred from one point to another on a microwave transmission line. Based on detailed requirements, there're 2 options. Whatever power is coming if you want to attenuate either the energy is reflected or consumed. The energy has absorbed the energy in some dissipative components. For microwave region applications, there are 2 types including fixed and variable, fixed means a fixed attenuation will always be offered from the device and variable obviously means it can change as many attenuations you want.
