Description
The ML 6610-100 Series of reflective attenuators from
M/A-COM offers continuously variable attenuation over a
wide dynamic range. Attenuation control is achieved by
bias current variation. Octave bandwith performances
are obtained using a matched RF circuit giving good
VSWR over the full frequency range. Devices are sup-
plied in a standard SMA coaxial package, other outlines
are available as options please contact the factory.
