AV850M2-A2

The AV850M2-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave voltage variable attenuator in a rugged surface mount package that is compatible with high-volume solder installation.The attenuator is designed for use in millimeterwave communication and sensor systems as a variable attenuation stage in the receiver or transmitter chain when wide dynamic range and high linearity are required. The robust ceramic surface mount package provides excellent electrical performance and a high degree of environmental protection for long-term reliability. All attenuators are screened at the operating frequencies prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. Attenuator is targeted for high-volume millimeterwave applications such as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless communications systems. Control voltage VC2 sets the attenuation level while VC1 adjusts return loss for the part.
