AT-SMA-02-03

Attenuators Overview

The Maury Microwave AT-SMA-02-03 is a fixed coaxial attenuator designed for RF and microwave applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 3dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates over a frequency range from DC to 26.5GHz, supporting maximum power levels up to 2W. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and maintains a VSWR of 1.35:1 within the DC-18GHz band.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Reduces RF signal power without distorting waveform quality
• Features MIL-spec pin depth and concentricity for precision
• Color-coded body for easy identification

Attenuators Applications

• Precision calibration systems
• Semiconductor device characterization
• Aerospace and defense microwave testing

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (e.g., 5E-082) for interface specifications before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector gender matches the system requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified 2W power limit and 26.5GHz frequency range to maintain performance integrity.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3dB reduction is required in high-frequency setups. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for standard RF environments. Evaluate the 2W power handling against peak signal levels. The SMA interface dictates compatibility with existing connector infrastructure.
