G40 / SMG40
Voltage-Controlled Attenuator Module
500 to 4000 MHz
Rev. V3
Features
• WIDE BAND PERFORMANCE
• EXCELLENT INSERTION LOSS: < 3.0 dB (TYP.)
• HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE: 30 dB TO 3000 MHz (TYP.)
• FAST SWITCHING: < 0.5 µsec, 10 TO 90% (TYP.)
< 2 µsec, 0 TO 100% (TYP.)
Description
The G40 attenuator is a discrete hybrid design, which uses
thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and
high reliability.
This design uses three pin diodes to provide a non linear
attenuation response across a broadband frequency range.
Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed,
and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
