50P-2058 USB controlled programmable attenuator

USB Programmable Attenuators to 3 GHz w/ 0.25 & 0.5 dB steps

/in , /by

50P-2055 USB controlled programmable attenuatorNow available from JFW:  USB Programmable Attenuators with 0.25 dB & 0.5 dB step size up to 3 GHz. The majority of programmable attenuators available have 1 dB steps.  However, for some applications, such as satellite communication testing, smaller step sizes can be beneficial.  For those cases, these three models can provide that capability.

New Models

  • 50P-2058 has 0.25 dB steps up to 31.75 dB.
  • 50P-2042 has 0.5 dB steps to 63.5 dB.
  • 50P-2055 goes all the way to 95.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps.

All three attenuators are controlled and powered through a Mini-B USB connector.  A USB hub can be used to simultaneously control multiple attenuators.  Included with each step attenuator is our Windows-based GUI software for easy attenuation control of a single or multiple attenuators.

Due to their small size, these attenuators are a great solution when RF signal fading capabilities are needed in the field or in the lab.  Furthermore, handover testing can be performed with two attenuators and the addition of an RF Power Combiner.
