DESCRIPTION

The SA26B-10 is a 10 dB fixed attenuator designed to reduce signal amplitude by a known amount across a wide frequency range from DC to 26 GHz. It features SMA male (plug) to SMA female (jack) connectors with a passivated stainless steel body, providing robust construction for demanding RF/microwave applications. The attenuator is rated for a maximum continuous wave (CW) power of 2 watts and delivers a VSWR of less than 1.4:1, with attenuation accuracy of ±0.75 dB and 50-ohm impedance. Operating over a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C, it is designed to meet MIL-DTL-3933 environmental requirements. Common applications include instrumentation, precision measurements, prototyping, characterization, and production systems where signal level protection, power meter range extension, and impedance matching are required.
