    Variable GPS Attenuator Technical Product Data

    Features

    • Variable Attenuation Range


    o Attenuation from -3 to -30dB typical
    • Small Form Factor
    o 2.5 x 0.75 x 1.49 in (Not Including
    Connectors).
    • Extremely Flat Group Delay
    o Less than 1ns variation
    • Excellent Flatness
    o Attenuation | L1 – L2 | < 1.0 dB
    • Low SWR < 1.5:1 typical

    Description
    This Variable Attenuator DC Blocked (VATTENDCB) is a one input, one output attenuator that
    operates with a variable attenuation range that can be user selected via a potentiometer control. This
    unit provides between 3 – 30dB (typical) of attenuation in a miniaturized housing. The frequency
    response covers the GPS L1/L2 and GLONASS bands with excellent flatness. In the normal
    configuration, the RF output (J1) accepts DC voltage from the connected GPS receiver to power the
    attenuator while the antenna input (ANT) is DC blocked.

    Use Cases
    • Attenuating excessive power for sensitive applications.
    • Receiver threshold testing.
    • GNSS lab work.

    VATTENDCB

    Each VATTENDCB ships with a test sheet that verifies critical performance characteristics, such as
    gain, input VSWR, and amplitude balance; a typical VNA test sheet is shown below. Noise figure test
    data is available upon request.
