New USB/RS232/SPI Programmable Attenuator Covers 10 To 13000 MHz, 0 – 90 dB

Mini-Circuits’ new RUDAT-13G-90 USB/RS232/SPI controlled programmable attenuator extends the coverage of our popular RUDAT/RCDAT programmable attenuator series with an ultra-wide frequency range from 10 to 13000 MHz. This model provides attenuation control from 0 to 90 dB in 0.5 dB steps with excellent attenuation accuracy of ±0.6 dB. It provides +41 dBm input IP3 and very fast attenuation transition speed of just 900ns. RUDAT and RCDAT programmable attenuators are ideal for a wide range of applications including fading simulators, handover system evaluation, automated test equipment and more. This latest addition to the product family gives users more capability for applications with higher frequency requirements.

USB control allows easy setup from any Windows or Linux computer, while RS232 and SPI control options allow serial synchronous or a-synchronous communication with the device. The unit comes supplied with Mini-Circuits user-friendly GUI software for Windows systems, which allows you to sweep and hop attenuation levels and even save and recall your own test profiles with specific attenuation patterns for R&D and production testing. DLLs for 32- and 64-bit Windows systems and complete programming instructions for Windows and Linux allow the same capabilities through your native test software.

The RUDAT-13G-90 is small enough to fit in your pocket (3.0 x 2.0 x 0.6”) and features rugged construction with excellent RF shielding, SMA(F) connectors at the RF input/output ports, a USB type mini-B port, and a 9-Pin D-Sub female port. The attenuator operates on a 5V power supply and draws its power requirements through the USB port or the D-Sub port. It comes with USB cable and all software included, ready for immediate use right out of the box – just plug and play!
