Susumu's PAT series attenuators are thin film high performance attenuators with excellent accuracy, reliability, stability, and frequency performance with minimal temperature related variability. One attenuator can replace three discreet components, which simplifies circuit design and saves space.
One application for these devices is gain adjustment and impedance matching in high frequency circuits. Because control circuits need signals with identical levels, and a receiver receives signals with different signal levels, signal levels could be adjusted by combining SMT attenuators and amplifiers. At the same time, termination can be obtained using these low reflection attenuators.
