Product Specification LDA-102/LDA-602
Lab Brick® Digital Attenuator
General Description
Lab Brick Digital Attenuators are 50 Ohm RF step attenuators with calibrated operation up to 6 GHz. These units
require connection to a USB port for control and power. No other external DC supply voltage is required. Lab
Brick Digital Attenuators are easily programmable for fixed attenuation or attenuation ramping directly from the
included GUI.
Features/Benefits
> USB powered and controlled
> Includes easy to install and use GUI
> Programmable attenuation ramp
> Operate multiple devices directly from a PC or
self powered USB hub
> Easily programmable for ATE applications
> Robust aluminum construction
Applications
> Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
> Engineering Lab
> Production Test
