In high-frequency applications such as 5G base stations, radar systems, and satellite communications, there exists an unassuming yet indispensable supporting player—coaxial attenuators. Particularly in 100W-class high-power models, they serve not only as signal strength regulators but also as protective safeguard for equipment safety. Today, we unveil the secrets of this “hardcore heart” in the RF……

What is a Coaxial AttenuatorA coaxial attenuator is a passive component installed in an RF transmission line to reduce signal power by a specified value without introducing significant distortion or altering the waveform. Attenuation is achieved by absorbing or dissipating electromagnetic energy, and it is measured in decibels (dB). Coaxial attenuators can be fixed or variable. Thanks to their co……

In modern electronic devices such as smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, and satellite navigation systems, there is an invisible “messenger” at work—Radio Frequency (RF) communication technology. This wireless transmission method, which uses electromagnetic waves to carry information, is quietly transforming our daily lives.  The Fundamentals of RF CommunicationRadio Frequency refers to electromagne……

In RF, microwave, and communication systems, attenuators are critical components for regulating signal strength, and their performance directly impacts system stability and signal quality. Among various performance metrics, attenuation value stands out as the most crucial indicator. This article explores the concept, significance, and practical implications of attenuation value. Attenuation v……
