Waveguide Attenuators - low power

We offer a range of Low Power Fixed and Infinitely Variable Attenuators as well as the range of Laboratory Standard Precision Variable Attenuators. All items are of compact design and are manufactured from brass as standard although copper and aluminium versions are available upon request. The FA and VA series of attenuators are manufactured to the highest quality standards.

Attenuators are manufactured with the full range of International flange styles as shown in flange catalogue and can be offered with alternative plated finishes on request. All our attenuators are offered with attractive hardwearing, epoxy paint finish. Our design and manufacturing facility is approved to ISO 9001: 2008.

Standard Rectangular Fixed Attenuator (Range 0 - 40dB)

Material: Brass
Finish: Blue Paint, Brass  Flanges
Full Band Flatness: Nominal 10% attenuator alue (better flatness value can be achieved for narrow band application)

These attenuators use a shaped lossy element attached to the waveguide wall, alternative materials can be used if higher power handling is required - please contact our sales team with details of your requirements.

Waveguide Attenuators - medium power

These are constructed from waveguide coupler elements with an load (depending on the power required) on the through arm. They are usually made to customer requirements so please contact our sales team with details of your specifications.

Waveguide Attenuators - high power

High power attenuators use the classic configuration of two 3dB hybrids and a phase shifter. Together with a high and “low” power load, the transmitted power can be infinitely adjusted. The phase shifter is made from twin ganged sliding shorts and 3dB hybrid for maximum power handling. Please contact our sales team with details of your specifications.
