The RUDAT-4000-120 is a single-channel programmable attenuator designed for signal level control from 1 to 4000 MHz, providing 0 to 120 dB attenuation in 0.25 dB steps with a typica.IP3 of +53 dBm. It features SMA female RF connectors, a 9-pin D-Sub port, and a USB Mini-B control interface, housed in a compact 2.50 x 3.00 x 0.60 inch rugged package. The device supports USB HID and RS232 communication, with an attenuation transition time of 650 ns and a minimum dwell time of 600 µs. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +50°C, with a +5 V DC supply requiring up to 250 mA. Maximum RF input power is +23 dBm from 50 to 4000 MHz, derating linearly to +9 dBm at 1 MHz.
Mini-Circuits’ RUDAT-4000-120 is a general purpose, single channel programmable attenuator suitable for a wide range of signal level control applications from 1 to 4000 MHz. The attenuator provides 0 to 120 dB attenuation in 0.25 dB steps. Its unique design maintains linear attenuation change per dB, even at the highest attenuation settings. The attenuator is housed in a compact and rugged package with SMA female connectors on the bi-directional input and output RF ports, a standard 9 pin D-Sub port and a USB type Mini-B power and control port. Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems).
