Voltage-Controlled Attenuators up to 240 GHz

Voltage-Controlled Attenuators up to 240 GHz

Voltage-controlled attenuators operating up to 240 GHz provide precise electronic attenuation control for millimeter-wave systems. These devices enable continuous attenuation adjustment via DC voltage bias and support waveguide standards from WR19 through WR4, addressing the growing demand for dynamic signal management in sub-THz applications.

Technical Specifications

• Frequency Range: DC to 240 GHz
• Waveguide Coverage: WR19 through WR4 full-band operation
• Control Interface: DC voltage bias for continuous attenuation adjustment
• Integration: Compact form factors suitable for automated test systems and integrated RF chains
• Performance: Optimized VSWR and insertion loss characteristics across the full frequency span

Applications

• Test & Measurement: Vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and automated test stations requiring variable attenuation in receiver paths and signal conditioning networks
• 5G/6G & Telecommunications: mmWave frontends and satellite communication (SATCOM) ground stations for signal processing and power management
• Radar Systems: Automotive, weather, and defense radar receiver chains requiring adaptive signal levels and noise figure management
• RF Over Fiber (RoF): Optical-RF frontends and distributed antenna systems for dynamic range optimization and linearization
