768A-20

Attenuators Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ 768A-20 is a fixed coaxial attenuator module designed for RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 20 dB across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 11 GHz. The component features Type N male-to-female connectors and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 20 Watts. It utilizes an in-line module package configuration suitable for bulk distribution.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 20 dB signal attenuation
• Operates from DC up to 11 GHz
• Handles continuous power up to 20 Watts
• Features Type N male/female interface

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in communication systems
• Attenuation requirements in microwave circuits

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the Type N connector gender and inline module form factor match the system integration requirements. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 20W power limit and 11 GHz frequency range to maintain performance integrity.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 20 dB reduction is required at frequencies extending to 11 GHz. The 20W power rating makes it suitable for higher power signal paths compared to standard low-power attenuators. The Type N interface ensures compatibility with common coaxial infrastructure. Consider the physical dimensions of the in-line module for panel or rack mounting constraints.

Attenuators Part Context

The 768A series represents a line of fixed attenuators from L3 Narda-MITEQ, known for reliability in RF environments. This specific part number denotes the 20 dB variant within the series, sharing the same mechanical and electrical envelope as other values in the family but differing only in attenuation magnitude.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 768A series variants if different attenuation is needed, or equivalent fixed attenuators from other manufacturers offering 20 dB, 20W, and Type N connectors within the 0-11 GHz range. Verify impedance matching and VSWR specifications when cross-referencing.
