Attenuators, Waveguide, Ka-Band
Fixed
ATM offers a series of rectangular waveguide attenuators covering the Ka-Band at 18.3-20.2GHz for the downlink and
27.5-31.0GHz for the uplink. Standard attenuation values are 3dB, 6dB, 10dB, 20dB and 30dB (other attenuation
values available, consult factory for details). The assembly construction includes a precision element for optimum
electrical performance, but note that Attenuation vs. Frequency can vary greatly depending on the attenuation at a
given frequency. Waveguide Fixed Attenuators with normal and high power units are also available. For more information feel free to call us and discuss your needs with one of our design engineers.

Ordering Information
The Model numbers listed above are the most common model numbers for size, material, flanges, and calibration,
however, these models can easily be altered to accommodate customer needs by following the Model # code system shown below. In addition the customer must choose the attenuation value appropriate for application (3dB, 6dB,
10dB, 20dB, or 30dB) and insert it in the model number where dB is listed.
