Fixed RF attenuators – Mini-SMP, DC to 26.5 GHz: BM10088 series | Bracke Manufacturing

The Bracke BM10088 series consists of fixed coaxial RF attenuators for 50-ohm signal paths with a Mini-SMP interface. All models cover a frequency range from DC to 26.5 GHz and have a specified power rating of 2 W.

The series is available with fixed attenuation values of 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30 dB. Attenuation accuracy is ±0.8 or ±1.2 dB, depending on the selected model. A maximum VSWR of 1.50:1 is specified for every listed version.

Advantages

• Broad frequency range: Continuous operation from DC to 26.5 GHz.
• Mini-SMP interface: For compatible coaxial RF and microwave signal paths.
• Five fixed attenuation values: Choice of 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 dB.
• 2 W power rating: Common specified RF power across all models.
• Defined attenuation accuracy: Model-specific values of ±0.8 or ±1.2 dB.
• Consistent maximum VSWR: 1.50:1 for every reference.
