Voltage-Controlled Attenuator Module
5 to 2000 MHz
G2 / SMG2
Features
• AVAILABLE IN SURFACE MOUNT
• LOW VSWR: < 1.5:1 (TYP.)
• LOW INSERTION LOSS: 2.3 dB TO 1000 MHz (TYP.)
• LOW DISTORTION: > 75 dB (TYP.) AT Vcontrol = +15V
Description
The G2 attenuator is a discrete hybrid design, which uses
thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and
high reliability.
This design uses three pin diodes to provide a non linear
attenuation response across a broadband frequency range.
Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed,
and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
** The connectorized version is not RoHs compliant.
*Over temperature performance limits for part number CG2, guaranteed from 0
