Description

M/A-COM's AT10-0009 is a PIN diode based voltage

variable attenuator. This device is in a SOW-16,

wide body plastic surface mount package. These

attenuators have linear operating power and input

intercept point levels 15 - 20 dB better than GaAs

FET MMIC voltage variable attenuators. They are

ideally suited for use where low distortion, high linear

operating power and high dynamic range are

required. These devices are optimized for the GSM

frequency band, but exhibit excellent performance

and repeatability over the entire specified frequency

band. The AT10-0009 is ideally suited for wireless

communications systems.
