Ranatec offers Digital Step Attenuator modules and systems that cover all mobile frequency bands and have a calibrated attenuation range.
The Ranatec RI 4410 is a 4-bit attenuator with a working range from 50 MHz to 6 GHz and offers attenuation up to 95.25 dB with a step size of 0.25 dB.
This attenuator can be used to accurately and reliably set RF signal levels, either as an integral part of an in-service RF solution or as part of a wireless test system. And of course for all applications where the signal power must be changed remotely to prevent overload or unwanted signal overloads.
Precisely because of the broadband design, one attenuator is sufficient, which benefits the simplicity of the test circuit and reduces the risk of errors and additional losses when looping through.
The aluminum module measures 52x79x12.4mm and is equipped with SMA jack connectors.
The RI 4410 can be controlled via a parallel or serial interface and 4 units can be controlled via one serial bus.
Ranatec is a Swedish manufacturer of niche test and measurement equipment for the most challenging RF and microwave applications. The product portfolio has been developed through the intercession of the leading manufacturers of mobile infrastructure, mobile telephones and radar industry.
