Pasternack Push-Button Step Attenuators
Pasternack Push-Button Step Attenuators are designed for controlled signal reduction in broadband RF and microwave systems. These devices consist of precision RF attenuators and operate from DC to 4GHz and maintain a 50Ω impedance, enabling seamless integration into standard RF signal chains. The push-button attenuators' step‑attenuation network is engineered for stable performance, low insertion loss, and repeatable attenuation characteristics across the full operating frequency range. These attenuators feature robust RF construction with high‑quality connectors available in SMA or Type‑N variants. This depends on the model ensuring reliable electrical contact, excellent return loss, and long service life in laboratory or field environments. The push-button step attenuators are ideal for prototyping and characterization, production systems, instrumentation, and precision measurements.
