The 3-4952-60 is a 2.4 GHz step attenuator from ARRA. Attenuators are a type of radio frequency (RF) test equipment that’s useful during RF design. When an engineer needs to reduce (attenuate) the level of an electronic signal, he or she uses an attenuator. Attenuation can protect circuit stages from receiving signal levels that are too high. RF attenuators may be fixed, switched, or variable, depending on their capabilities and applications.
Additional Features:
Attenuation Range: 60 dB
Attenuation vs Frequency (±dB): 1.00
RF Power (Average W): 15
Form Factor: 0-660
Insertion Loss (max): 1.5 dB (Main Line); 6.0 dB (Secondary)
Connectors: SMA or Type N Female
VSWR (max): 1.5 after first 4 dB
Dial Specifications: Direct reading in 1 dB increments
Phase Shift: 6° typical
Material: Body: Aluminum
Connectors: MIL-C-39012
Finish: ARRA Blue per MIL-C-22750
The ARRA 3-4952-60 Variable Directional Couplers are ideal for applications requiring large dynamic attenuated output from the secondary line with minimum main line loss. These units are particularly useful in amplitude monitoring loops, AGC loops and mixer applications.
As in all directional couplers, the main line is isolated from the attenuated secondary line. This type of device can withstand extremely high power levels and may be utilized as a high power continuously variable attenuator with the appropriate termination on the main line output.
