Millimeter-Wave Measurement Instruments and Waveguide Components

Fixed attenuator

Waveguide Fixed Attenuator

The FAXE Fixed Attenuators can be used as a lab standard against which other instruments or device are calibrated. The attenuators consist of the waveguide section with resistive plate in the waveguide diagonal plane. The FAXE 3, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30 dB attenuators are available in seven waveguide bands from 18 through 225 GHz.
