Description
2 W SMA Fixed RF Attenuator – DC–6 GHz, multiple values
The CentronRF 2 W SMA fixed attenuator reduces RF signal level by a precise, flat amount across DC–6 GHz while keeping a clean 50 Ω match (VSWR ≤1.2). It is available in 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 10 dB, 15 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB and custom values.
It is ideal for protecting sensitive receiver and test-equipment inputs, reducing signal levels between stages and improving impedance matching between mismatched components. The precision SMA connector suits lab benches, PCB test points, microwave modules, SDRs and compact RF assemblies where space is tight.

FAQ
How do I choose the attenuation value?
Subtract the maximum level your equipment input can accept from the signal level you will feed in; the difference (plus a safety margin) is the attenuation you need. For example, 30 dB reduces 100 W to 0.1 W.
Does attenuation stay flat across DC–6 GHz?
The attenuator is specified across the full DC–6 GHz range with VSWR ≤1.2. Contact us for the measured data of a specific value.
