Attenuators are used in a wide variety of applications and can satisfy almost any requirement where a reduction in power
is needed. Attenuators are used to extend the dynamic range of devices such as power meters and amplifiers, reduce
signal levels to detectors, match circuits and are used daily in lab applications to aid in product design. Attenuators are
also used to balance out transmission lines that otherwise would have unequal signal levels.

Specifying Tip:
For best results when selecting an RF attenuator for a given connector style, make sure to consider the amount of
power being absorbed and the acceptable level of reflection (VSWR) that can be tolerated over the operating
frequency range.
