Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender (Male/Female) required for your assembly, as datasheets may list generic interface types. Confirm that the 50 dB nominal value matches your system requirements exactly. Ensure the 2W power rating is sufficient for your application's peak and average power levels to prevent component damage.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 50 dB reduction is needed within the DC to 18 GHz bandwidth. Consider the Type N interface compatibility with existing cabling. Evaluate if the 2W power handling meets system demands. Compare against other values in the 779 series if different attenuation levels are suitable for the design.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the L3 Narda-MITEQ 779 series of fixed precision coaxial attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values ranging from standard steps to custom orders. These devices are engineered for reliability in military and commercial microwave systems, providing consistent performance across wide frequency bands.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Check for exact 50 dB nominal attenuation and matching DC to 18 GHz frequency range. Verify identical Type N connector interfaces and 2W power ratings. Ensure VSWR specifications do not exceed 1.40 to maintain signal integrity in sensitive RF paths.
