Fixed RF attenuators - DC to 50 GHz, 2.4 mm: BM10061 series | Bracke Manufacturing
Bracke BM10061 fixed 50-ohm attenuators for DC to 50 GHz, 0.5 W and 2.4 mm connectors, with attenuation values from 3 to 30 dB.
The Bracke BM10061 series consists of fixed coaxial 50-ohm attenuators with a 2.4 mm male-to-female configuration. The models cover a frequency range from DC to 50 GHz and provide nominal attenuation values of 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 dB.
With a maximum input power of 0.5 W, the attenuators can be used to provide defined signal-level reduction in RF and microwave signal paths, measurement setups and test systems.
Advantages
- Frequency range up to 50 GHz: Suitable for broadband RF and microwave signal paths from DC to 50 GHz.
- Five fixed attenuation values: Models with 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30 dB allow selection according to the required signal-level reduction.
- 2.4 mm inline configuration: Male-to-female design for direct integration between compatible 2.4 mm interfaces.
- Defined 50-ohm interface: Designed for RF and microwave measurement chains with a 50-ohm system impedance.
- Wide operating temperature range: Specified for operation from -45 to +85 °C.
