Features:
Description:
Cobham’s 2694 series voltage variable attenuators operate
over wide dynamic range and octave bandwidths. The circuit
for the device is built using PIN diode chips in a broadband
microstrip design. The linearized driver uses hybrid IC’s and of-
fers transfer functions that produce linear RF attenuation with
input voltage. State-to-state switch speed of 600 nanoseconds
is standard, even with a temperature compensation network.
