Operates within microwave frequency ranges with minimal insertion loss and excellent impedance matching. Integrates with vector measurement systems to extend dynamic range and protect sensitive receiver components from overload. Features reliable solid-state switching for high durability and consistent performance in automated test environments. Commonly used in production testing, component characterization, and laboratory measurement setups requiring accurate signal level control. ## Function Provides electronically controlled, programmable attenuation of RF signals in discrete 10 dB steps, from 0 dB to a maximum of 70 dB. Designed for integration with vector network analyzers, it is used to precisely control signal power levels delivered to a device under test or to extend the measurement receiver's dynamic range. Control is managed through a dedicated interface, allowing for automated test sequences. ## Platform Designed as a programmable step attenuator module with 70 dB attenuation range, operating from DC to 26.5 GHz, intended for integration in Rohde & Schwarz test equipment platforms such as FSEM20, FSEM30, FSP13, and FSP30 spectrum analyzers. It interfaces via standard 50 O RF connectors and provides precise signal level control to optimize dynamic range and measurement accuracy in high-frequency RF and microwave test systems. Commonly used for signal conditioning, calibration, and dynamic range management in EMI testing, spectrum analysis, and RF system characterization applications. ## Application Precision signal level conditioning in RF/microwave test and measurement setups. Essential for extending the dynamic range of vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power meters. Utilized in linearity characterization of amplifiers, receiver sensitivity testing, and the emulation of controlled path loss in wireless communication systems. Facilitates precise calibration and ensures accurate measurement of high-power or low-power signals. ## Accessories Requires installation in a Rohde & Schwarz ZVM Vector Network Analyzer mainframe. This internal module provides 70 dB of attenuation for the ZVM's test ports. The user interface is through the instrument's front panel N-type female 50 Ohm connectors (Port 1, Port 2) and the ZVM's control interface. Internal connections are made to the ZVM backplane. ## Interface Contains a single Type N input and output RF connector (50 ohm), supporting a DC to 26.5 GHz frequency range. Features GPIB (IEEE-488) interface with 24-pin connector for remote control operations. Compatible with ZVM vector network analyzers through a dedicated control port. Includes SMA trigger input connector for synchronization with external equipment. ## Images - - - -
