120084

Overview

The TPI 120084 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for signal reduction in radio frequency circuits. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 1 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt. It utilizes BNC connectors for input and output connections, facilitating direct integration into test setups or communication systems requiring precise signal level adjustment.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 10 dB signal attenuation across a broad frequency spectrum
• Features 50 Ohm impedance matching for standard RF system compatibility
• Utilizes BNC connectors for secure and reliable cable attachment

Applications

• Radio frequency signal level adjustment in test and measurement equipment
• Attenuation stages in wireless communication system testing
• Signal conditioning in broadband RF circuit analysis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and cable length requirements against your existing test infrastructure before ordering. Confirm that the 1 Watt power rating aligns with your maximum expected signal levels to prevent component damage. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance matches your source and load impedances to maintain signal integrity and minimize reflections during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB reduction is required within the 0 Hz to 1 GHz bandwidth. Consider the BNC interface compatibility with your current cabling and instrument ports. Evaluate the 1 Watt power handling capability against peak signal strengths to ensure safe operation without thermal degradation or performance drift under continuous use conditions.
