Device Overview

General Description

The ATN10-0067 is a family of precision GaAs MMIC fixed 6dB attenuators. These attenuators are an ideal solution for attenuating a signal and they can be used in a wide range of applications. They are ideal for test equipment’s protection and signal overload prevention in various RF circuitry. A 50-ohm match is maintained over the entire operating frequency range.
