Systron Donner DBC-910 microwave attenuator

Product Description

Systron Donner DBC-910 Programmable Microwave Step Attenuator

This is a precision programmable step attenuator designed for automated RF and microwave test systems. Covering a broad frequency range from DC to 12.4 GHz, it provides accurate attenuation in discrete steps for signal level control in calibration, receiver testing, and signal generation applications.

Key Specifications:

• Model: DBC-910

• Frequency Range: DC – 12.4 GHz

• Attenuation Range: 0 – 10 dB in 1 dB steps

• Connectors: Type N (N) female (standard)

• Control Interface: GPIB/IEEE-488 (programmable), with manual override

• Accuracy: High (typical ±0.5 dB or better depending on frequency)

• Switching Speed: Milliseconds (typical for relay-based steps)

Applications:

• Automated Test Equipment (ATE): Integrating into RF test racks for calibrated attenuation

• Receiver Testing: Simulating signal path loss for sensitivity measurements

• Signal Generator Leveling: Precisely adjusting output power of sources

• Calibration Labs: Use as a transfer standard for attenuator calibration
