Continuously Variable
Coaxial Attenuators
RLC Electronics' Continuously Variable Coaxial Attenuators offer
wide bandwidths for microwave applications where continuous
adjustment of signal level is required with low insertion loss and
good impedance matching. Unique mechanical packaging with
a locking, non-translating shaft allow a compact assembly.
The slab line construction of the transmission line and shaped,
proprietary lossy material give flat response over a wide range
of attenuation.
