Manual Waveguide Attenuator up to 500 GHz
bq-microwave offers manual level setting waveguide attenuators for precise signal control across the millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz spectrum. These compact components cover waveguide formats from WR15 down to WR2.2, addressing the need for accurate attenuation in high-frequency systems up to 500 GHz.
Signal attenuation is critical for protecting sensitive components, balancing cascaded gain stages, and establishing repeatable test conditions. The manual design eliminates the need for external bias or control electronics, reducing system complexity and power consumption.
