Description
Block Attenuator (CE) attenuates the signal power by a preset factor, known as _ input loss_ in dB. Usually, the unit adjusts the impedance of the RF circuit at the input and output ports. Attenuators can be used to attenuate the power of the incoming signal in order to protect RF circuits.
