DC - 40 GHz 6dB Passive GaAs MMIC Attenuator: ATN06-0040BH Datasheet

The ATN06-0040BH is a precision 6 dB GaAs MMIC attenuator designed for signal attenuation across a broad frequency range from DC to 40 GHz. Packaged in a compact bullet housing (BH), this device offers a convenient, connectorized solution for high-frequency applications where accurate, consistent attenuation is required.

Built on gallium arsenide monolithic microwave integrated circuit (GaAs MMIC) technology, the ATN06-0040BH provides exceptional unit-to-unit consistency and reliable performance in a low-cost, small-form-factor design. It maintains a precise 6 dB attenuation level with a typical return loss of 30 dB across the entire operational bandwidth, ensuring minimal signal reflection and optimal impedance matching at 50 ohms.

The attenuator's performance and low size, weight, and power (SWaP) profile make it ideal for a variety of advanced systems, including 5G infrastructure, test and measurement setups, airborne electronics, and high-density RF channel architectures. Its ability to support amplitude matching and fine-tune signal levels is particularly useful in precision characterization and system calibration.

The ATN06-0040BH is compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards and falls under the EAR99 export classification, supporting broad global deployment in both commercial and defense applications.

In summary, the ATN06-0040BH delivers flat, accurate signal attenuation with low return loss and high reliability from DC to 40 GHz. Its combination of performance, packaging, and versatility makes it a valuable component for engineers seeking dependable signal control in high-frequency, high-performance RF systems.
