SMP attenuators typically operate from DC up to 40 GHz, making them suitable for advanced microwave and millimeter-wave applications. Their wide bandwidth supports demanding communication, radar, and test systems requiring precise attenuation with minimal signal distortion.

SMP connectors feature a compact, blind-mate design that enables quick, reliable connections without threaded coupling. This makes SMP attenuators perfect for automated testing environments and high-density RF modules where frequent connection cycles and space constraints exist.

Choose an attenuation level based on your system’s signal power and conditioning needs. Common values range from 1 dB to 20 dB or more. Accurate attenuation ensures protection of sensitive equipment and optimal signal levels for precise measurements or transmissions.

Yes, SMP attenuators are specifically designed for automated test setups. Their blind-mate connectors allow fast, repeatable connections without tools, increasing efficiency and reducing wear during high-volume testing processes.

Absolutely. SMP attenuators are designed for dense RF environments due to their small size and robust performance. They are ideal for aerospace, military, and compact communication systems where space-saving and high-frequency capability are critical.
