Dual Rotary Attenuator for LTE Band 42 Testing
JFW is excited to announce a new dual rotary attenuator, 50DR-141, that covers LTE Band 42. It functions from DC up to 3600 MHz. This attenuator handles up to 2 Watts of RF power. The maximum attenuation is 40 dB in 1 dB increments. The 50DR-141 has mounting holes in the front plate for easy mounting on panels for instrumentation applications. RF connector options include SMA or N.
In addition, the 50DR-141 can also be configured on 19″ Rack Panels, L-Brackets or Benchtop enclosures for use in test racks or lab environments.
What is LTE Band 42?
