How to Choose a 40GHz Attenuator





 

When selecting a 40GHz Attenuator,
operating frequency is only one of the specifications that should be considered.
Important parameters include:

  • Frequency Range
  • Attenuation Value
  • Impedance
  • VSWR
  • Insertion Loss
  • Return Loss
  • Power Handling
  • Connector Type
  • Mechanical Dimensions
  • Operating Temperature
For 40GHz applications, connector selection is particularly important. Common high-frequency connector options
include 2.92mm / K Connectors and SMA connectors, depending on the frequency range and equipment interface.
