Continuously Variable
Flat with Frequency Types - Subminiature
Midwest Microwave's series of Subminiature Continuously Variable
Attenuators were designed to meet the most stringent environmental
conditions. The Flat with Frequency Types are useful for applications
where a specific level of attenuation is required over a frequency band
and reasonable attenuation flattness over the frequency band is
necessary. The units are available in a Standard simple locking type
configuration, a Panel mount type with a knob, or a Turns-counting dial
type, also panel mounted, for refrence setting or if calibration is
desired. SMA connector configurations are standard, however Type
N or TNC connector configurations are also available (see note below
for designation information).
