Mini-Circuits QAT-12+

Mini-Circuits QAT-12+ Environmental and export classification status description

The Mini-Circuits® QAT-12+ is a coaxial fixed attenuator with a frequency range of DC to 12 GHz, designed to attenuate RF signals. It offers a nominal attenuation value specified in decibels, making it useful for various applications in RF and wireless systems. Functions: - Attenuation: Provides a specified level of attenuation to reduce the signal strength. - Signal balancing: Helps maintain signal integrity and prevent overloading in RF systems. - Impedance matching: Ensures proper impedance levels between components in the circuit. Applications: - RF Testing: Used in test setups to calibrate signal levels. - RF Signal Conditioning: Helps optimize signal levels in RF systems. - Communication Systems: Used to adjust signal levels in wireless communication networks. Alternative Components: - Mini-Circuits® VAT-6+: Coaxial fixed attenuator with a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. - API Technologies Corp. 70P-1060-X-XX: Fixed attenuator with a similar frequency range and attenuation values. Embedded Modules: - RF Signal Generators: Incorporates the QAT-12+ for signal calibration. - RF Power Meters: Utilizes the attenuator to adjust signal levels for accurate power measurements. - RF Spectrum Analyzers: May include the attenuator for signal attenuation during spectrum analysis.
