JFW model 75PD-188 F is a 11-way resistive divider/combiner that covers the frequency range DC-2150 MHz. It has 75 Ohm F female RF connectors. The unit has 12 total ports that are internally connected using a resistive star configuration. This design is ideal for testing 75 Ohm cable equipment that needs to communicate with each […]
If you would prefer to control our USB attenuator or USB RF switch models using Python instead of our standard Windows based GUI test program, JFW does offer a Python library (jfwusb.py). Email our engineering department for the Python library and examples. Python Library Features: Auto-discovery of any JFW USB devices connected to the computer. […]
JFW model 50BA-032-31 SMA is a 4 channel attenuator assembly that covers 0.1-18 GHz. Each channel consists of a solid-state programmable attenuator with attenuation range 0 to 31dB in 1 dB steps. Each attenuator can be controlled individually or as a group. This benchtop attenuator assembly is remotely controlled via Ethernet/RS-232 and manually via momentary […]

Three new 75 Ohm blocking matrix switch models have been added to the JFW website. Model 75MS-029 is a solid-state 2X8 blocking matrix that operates 3-1000MHz. Model 75MS-030 is a solid-state 2X6 blocking matrix that operates 3-1000MHz. Model 75MS-037 is an electro-mechanical 2X12 blocking matrix that operates DC-1700MHz. These 75 Ohm matrix switches can be […]
With the push to 5G by wireless cellular providers, lab benches are now being occupied with a greater number of high frequency fixed attenuators with 2.9 mm (aka 2.92 mm) and 2.4 mm RF connectors. It is important to be able to tell these RF connectors apart because 2.4 mm and 2.9 mm connectors will […]
This application note covers resistive and reactive power divider/combiners. The main goal of this app note is to help customers choose the correct power divider/combiner type for their application. The functionality differences between the two types are discussed with example block diagrams. The block diagram makes it easy to see why resistive divider/combiners are used for […]
