4.3 0.25Watt 0- -30dB Switched Attenuator (10-000703)
4.3.1 General Application
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive.
Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the
gain.
4.3.2 Switched Attenuators
The AFL switched attenuators are available in two different types; 0 – 30dB in 2 dB steps (as in this
case), or 0 – 15dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuation is simply set using the four miniature toggle
switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the attenuation it provides, and
the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched in. They are designed to maintain an
accurate 50 impedance over their operating frequency at both input and output.
