General Description
the HMC985lP4Ke is an absorptive Voltage Variable
attenuator (VVa) which operates from 10 - 40 gHz and
is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal
must be used to control rF signal levels over a 35 dB
dynamic range. It features two shunt-type attenuators
which are controlled by two analog voltages, Vctl1 and
Vctl2. optimum linearity performance of the attenuator
is achieved by first varying Vctl1 of the first attenuation
stage from -3V to 0V with Vctl2 fixed at -3V. the control
voltage of the second attenuation stage, Vctl2, should
then be varied from -3V to 0V with Vctl1 fixed at 0V.
if the Vctl1 and Vctl2 pins are connected together it is
possible to achieve the full analog attenuation range
with only a small degradation in input IP3 performance.
applications include agC circuits and temperature
compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave
point-to-point and Vsat radios.
