The continuously variable waveguideattenuatorsseries  from Pasternack are offered in numerous uniquemodels.s covering a broad frequency range of 33 GHz to 110 GHz in five bands. Our continuously variable waveguide attenuators can vary the attenuation level from 0 to 30 dB over the specified band allowing the user to dial in the attenuation level needed for the application. Another valuable feature of these waveguide attenuators is that the attenuation level is adjusted using a micrometer, enabling repeatable and rapid re-setting to different attenuation levels. These attenuators also boast flat performance across a wide band low insertion loss.

Engineers often use this type variable attenuator when they are designing a system and are testing their design concepts in the lab. These ultra-high frequency variable waveguide attenuators allow the designer to see how the system will perform at various signal strengths and can also be used to determine the optimum signal performance of the system.
