Anritsu 42N50-20 – DC-18GHz N(m-f) Attenuator, 20dB, 5 Watt

Anritsu 42N50-20,”This fixed attenuator delivers 20 dB attenuation over a wide frequency range up to 18 GHz, offering precision signal conditioning for RF and microwave systems. Designed for reliable power reduction in transmission paths, it helps maintain signal integrity and prevent overloading of sensitive instruments. The unit handles up to 5 watts of continuous power and features precision N-type connectors for secure and low-loss connections. It offers excellent VSWR and minimal insertion loss, making it suitable for calibration setups, signal distribution, and testing applications. The attenuator is ruggedly built to endure repeated use in lab and field conditions, with excellent thermal stability to ensure consistent performance under varying environmental conditions. It is commonly used in production lines, antenna testing, and system development tasks that require controlled signal level adjustment. Its compact size allows easy integration into RF paths, while its accuracy and reliability make it an essential tool for engineers working with high-frequency systems where precise power control is critical.”
