JFW presents Multi-path RF Attenuator Assembly

JFW’s newest line of programmable RF attenuation systems are designed to meet the needs of 5G and Wi-Fi 6E test labs and allow for easy test automation. Model ⇒50PA-1183-XX works from 200 MHz to 8 GHz and is available with up to eight (8) individually controllable, solid state RF attenuators.

Each attenuator has a range of 0-95 dB in 1-dB steps and is guaranteed monotonic across the band. The test system is 19” rack-mountable and comes standard with SMA female connectors. Front-panel manual controls and DHCP compatibility make for easy setup of remote control. Straight forward, preprogrammed commands can be delivered via Ethernet, RS-232, or through the provided GUI (Graphical User Interface).

This makes scripting complex test scenarios simple. Preprogrammed commands include: Set Attenuator, Read Attenuator, Fade Attenuator, Variable Attenuator Handover, and many more. Ethernet control allows for up to 12 simultaneous users and Python libraries are available upon request.
