Silver Plated Copper Waveguide Attenuator

WR90 High Power Fixed Waveguide Attenuator for X band Measurement and Calibration

This product is a professional Waveguide Attenuator featuring a fixed high power design for X band applications. The attenuator operates across the 8.2GHz to 12.4GHz frequency band in the WR90 waveguide size and is constructed from copper with silver plating and paint coating for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. As a High Power Attenuator, it provides stable and consistent attenuation across its operating band while handling higher average power levels. The component features a FBP100 flange interface for compatibility with standard WR90 waveguide systems. This attenuator is essential for decoupling matching, level control, and reference level setting in microwave measurement systems where moderate power handling is required.

This High Power Fixed Attenuator delivers solid electrical performance across its operating frequency range. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio is rated at 1.25 or lower, ensuring good impedance matching with minimal signal reflection. The attenuation value is 20dB with a tolerance of plus or minus 3dB, providing controlled signal reduction for measurement and calibration applications. The average power handling is suitable for higher power signal processing in test and measurement setups compared to standard low power attenuators. The silver plated copper construction provides good conductivity and protects against oxidation, ensuring reliable performance at X band frequencies.

One clear strength of this High Power Attenuator is its ability to handle moderate power levels while maintaining good electrical performance. It is widely used for signal power balancing, measurement system calibration, signal simulation, clutter and interference suppression, and device protection. Common applications include communication systems, radar systems, and microwave measurement fields where power levels exceed the capability of standard attenuators. The standard FBP100 flange interface ensures compatibility with common WR90 waveguide components. The robust construction provides long term reliability even under demanding conditions.

In practical use, this High Power Fixed Attenuator handles professional microwave measurement tasks very well. For test laboratories, it provides reliable attenuation for higher power signal conditioning. For radar systems, it enables power level adjustment in transmitter test setups. The silver plated copper construction provides good durability and conductivity at X band frequencies. Custom options are available for attenuation value and finish upon request. This High Power Fixed Attenuator stands as a solid example of a well designed attenuation solution for X band applications requiring higher power handling.
