Ka-Band Compact Fixed Attenuator

STA-10-28-F1-C-2.0-V is a compact fixed attenuator with an insertion length of 2.0”. The attenuator is used in millimeterwave systems and operates from 26.5 to 40 GHz. The attenuator has a fixed attenuation value of 10 dB at the center frequency, 33.25 GHz. While the attenuator is designed and fabricated for full waveguide band applications, the attenuation value of this model does show a minor slope within the band due to its distinct mechanical configuration. The attenuator uses only low outgassing materials and adhesives in its construction to ensure that it is safe to use in thermal vacuum environments. The attenuator also includes vent holes to assist in the depressuration of the unit in vacuum environments. Other attenuation values are available under different model numbers as STA-XX-28-F1-C-2.0-V, where XX is the desired attenuation value.
