Introduction of High Power Attenuators TFT announces the introduction of the HPA series of High Power Attenuators. These surface mount thin film attenuators are produced on Aluminum Nitride substrates providing excellent attenuation of transmitted signals for high power RF and microwave frequencies with optimal thermal dissipation. Balanced circuit design provides excellent frequency characteristics with tight tolerance behavior. Useful for evolving applications that require attenuation of transmitted signals verses just terminating them. This chip power attenuator provides matching to existing components in a system allowing for the filtering of harmonics while maintaining the cost performance of typical termination resistors. This chip power attenuator allows you to offer isolators with specific input impedances to closely match your customers circuitry.
