Variable Attenuators
Models 9003, 9004, 9009, 9010 & 9011 dc to 18.0 GHz
Manual Step, Ruggedized SMA Connectors
2 Watt
Description
The Model 9000 series Step Attenuators are broadband
miniature step attenuators that provide excellent perfor-
mance characteristics suitable for use in high reliability 50
ohm systems and applications requiring extra-small compo-
nents for the precision control of signal levels. The Model
9000 series can be used either as input or output attenua-
tors in signal sources, receivers, field strength meters,
spectrum analyzers, etc.
The SMA connector furnished on all models are available in
either standard or right-angle configuration. The sex of front
and rear connector is optional (refer to connector specifica-
tion for specific combinations available). A knob(s), marked
appropriately, is supplied with each unit.

o
Wide Choice of Attenuation Ranges
- A choice of five
standard attenuation ranges is available: 0 to 9.0, 0 to
69 and 0 to 99 dB in 1 dB steps, and 0 to 60 and 0 to
90 dB in 10 dB steps.
o
Environmental
- Designed to meet most environmen-
tal requirements of MIL-A-24215 (Vibration, Shock,
Relative Humidity to 95% and Altitude).
o
In-line Configuration
- Passivated stainless steel SMA
connector are set parallel with control shaft (except
units with right angle connector) to reduce volume for
applications where space is critical. All models are bidi-
rectional.
o
Precise Incremental Attenuation Accuracy
- Model
9000 series has flat frequency response and small
deviation from nominal attenuation at all settings (e.g.,
deviation is only +2.5 dB at 99 dB setting at 18 GHz).
o
Excellent Repeatability and Long Switch Life.
o
Custom Configurations Available Upon Request.
o
Highly Accurate Detent Stepping
- Direct drive of
attenuator drums eliminates gears and provides for
excellent repeatability.
o
Safety Mechanical Stop
- A mechanical stop between
maximum and 0 attenuation positions on all models
except 0-9 dB unit is provided to prevent large power
changes at attenuator output from damaging sensitive
equipment.
