An attenuator is an electronic device that lowers a signal’s strength without significantly altering its waveform. Although the two operate in different ways, an attenuator is essentially the opposite of an amplifier.
Attenuators produce loss, or gain less than 1, in contrast to amplifiers, which provide gain. Attenuators are typically passive electronics created from straightforward voltage divider networks.
With the aid of potentiometers, adjustable stepped attenuators and continuously adjustable ones can be created.
It is common to utilise carefully matched low VSWR resistance networks for higher frequencies.Circuits employ fixed attenuators to reduce voltage, dissipate power, and enhance impedance matching.
Attenuator pads or adapters are used in signal measurements to reduce the signal’s amplitude by a predetermined amount to enable measurements or to shield the measuring equipment from signal levels that could harm it.
The Global Attenuator market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
New SpaceNXT K2TVA Thermopad Temperature Variable Attenuator is launched by Smiths Interconnect. All RF and microwave systems are susceptible to signal strength fluctuations brought on by temperature variations, but the new SpaceNXT K2TVA series offers a very dependable passive solution to this problem.
Thick film thermistor inks that are screen printed over an alumina ceramic substrate are used to achieve the attenuation shift over temperature.
One of Smiths Interconnects’ technology brands, EMC technology, developed this important patented technology internally.
Customers may access higher frequencies due to their dependable and robust SpaceNXT K2TVA Thermopad attenuators, even when there is broadcast spectrum congestion for wireless communications and while communication satellites are in orbit.
They push the limits of size, weight, and power in a simple, affordable system that is appropriate for a variety of space and defence applications.
