Fixed RF attenuators – 2 W, 2.92 mm, up to 40 GHz: BM10059 / BM10060 Series | Bracke Manufacturing
Bracke fixed RF attenuators with 2.92 mm interfaces, a 2 W power rating and frequency ranges up to 26.5 or 40 GHz.
Bracke fixed coaxial attenuators with 2.92 mm interfaces are designed to provide controlled signal-level reduction in RF and microwave signal paths. The product family includes versions rated at 2 W, with upper frequency limits of 26.5 GHz or 40 GHz.
Different fixed attenuation values are available depending on the model. This allows the attenuator to be selected according to the required signal level and the operating frequency range of the measurement or system environment.
Advantages
- Two frequency classes: Versions up to 26.5 GHz or 40 GHz for different RF and microwave applications.
- 2 W power rating: Suitable for signal-level adjustment in measurement chains, test setups and low-power RF systems.
- Fixed attenuation values: Defined and repeatable signal-level reduction according to the selected version.
- 2.92 mm interface: Suitable for compact coaxial connections in broadband microwave measurement setups.
- Broad application coverage: Can be used in development, characterisation, production testing and general RF measurement systems.
