Description  

Pasternack carries a wide range of fixed attenuators with a broad selection of attenuation levels, frequency ranges, and power  

dissipation ranges. RF microwave attenuators (also known as RF pads) lower the amplitude of a signal (attenuate) a known  

amount and can be used in a wide variety of applications. These attenuator pads are used when a signal needs to be reduced  

to protect measurement equipment or other circuitry, to extend the range of power meters and amplifiers, and to impedance  

match circuits by reducing the VSWR seen by adjacent components. RF attenuators can prevent signal overload in amplifiers,  

receivers and detectors, adjusting the signal level to a range that is optimal.  

Few RF components are as commonly used as fixed coaxial attenuators, and Pasternack carries one of the largest in-stock  

varieties and ships them same day. The 8 dB Fixed Attenuator PE7094-08 is rated to 2 Watts and operates from DC to 18 GHz.  

The versatile coaxial package uses type N male to type N female connectors and is also REACH compliant.
