Step Attenuator Selection Guide
The manual and programmable
HP 355 series attenuators offer
exceptional attenuation accuracy to
1 GHz; 0.1 dB to 1 kHz, 0.25 dB to
500 MHz, 0.35 dB to 1 GHz. They
feature BNC (f) RF connectors, with
optional type-N (Option 001) and
TNC (Option 005) also available. To
achieve 1 dB steps up to a range
of 132 dB, serially connect two
attenuators using a standard
UG-491A/U BNC (m)-to-BNC (m)
adapter. Programmable HP 355EF
models feature a 7-pin connector.
To protect your transistor driver
against transients during the
switching cycle, order Option 007 to
install a protective diode between
each solenoid and driver.
