GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The QTVA is a one of a kind, temperature variable high frequency surface mount device developed for applications where
specific signal level control is required. Being passive in nature, there is no distortion, phase shift or time delay. The
attenuator structure is internally tuned for optimum performance beyond Ka band, with the added benefit of being a truly
symmetrical, bidirectional attenuator. The QTVA comes in two styles, microstrip and coplanar.

Specification Notes:
(1) Measured on EMC Technology test fixture. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
(2) TCA = (LINEAR REGRESSION SLOPE) / (ATTENUATION @ 25°C).
Calculate linear regression slope from attenuation versus temperature from -55°C to +125°C in 20°C increment.
(3) Full rated power to 125°C, derated linearly to 0 Watts at 150°C
