NPO ERCON introduces the SA series of programmable step attenuators.

Do you work in the microwave range? Test high-power amplifiers, calibrate spectrum analyzers, or develop satellite communications equipment? You need a tool that will ensure accuracy, repeatability, and protection for your test bench. All in a single package.

Meet the SA series of programmable step attenuators — a powerful solution for working in the frequency range up to 18 GHz with various signal attenuation levels.

How does it work?

The design is based on electromechanical switches that enable switching between attenuation values in tens of milliseconds. Control is via a 10-pin connector, allowing for easy integration into automated measurement systems.

Flexible Configuration:

• Operating Frequency Range: Up to 18 GHz
• Attenuation Ranges: 0–11 dB, 0–70 dB, 0–110 dB
• Attenuation Steps: 1 dB and 10 dB — Fine-tune to any application
• Low Direct Insertion Loss — Keeps the Signal Clean

Proven Reliability:

Each attenuator section is rated for 5 million switching cycles: Years of stable operation under intensive conditions without unexpected failures.

Applications:

• Scientific Research — Radiophysics, Microwave Electronics
• Aerospace — Satellite Communications, Radar
• Telecommunications — Wi-Fi, 5G, Cellular Communications

SA Series Programmable Step Attenuators — your reliable partner in the world of microwave measurements.
