NOTES:
1. Tolerance on 3 place decimals
±
.020(.51) except as noted.
2. Dimensions in inches over millimeters.
3. Clockwise micrometer rotation increases attenuation.
General Notes:
1. The AU/AUP-15A series of Microwave Attenuators has been designed for wideband ECM systems and other microwave applications in the
2 to 8 GHz frequency band where precise attenuation must be maintained over a wide variety of military and laboratory environments.
2. Applications include signal and LO power control, automatic level control and impedance matching.
3. The AU/AUP-15A series of attenuators use ferrite absorption of microwave energy for good long term stability and high reliability. They can
be supplied screened to meet specific military and commercial high reliability applications.
