Coaxial N-Type Fixed Attenuator BW-20N100W+ 50 100W 20dB DC t o 6000 MHz The Big Deal Wideband operation, DC to 6 GHz High power handling, 100W Good flatness, 0.65 dB typ. CASE STYLE: GH986 Product Overview Mini-Circuits BW-20N100W+ is a 20 dB coaxial precision fixed attenuator providing high power handling of up to 100W over the DC to 6 GHz frequency range. This model supports many of high-power appli- cations requiring precise attenuation over a broad frequency range including high-power measurement, matching, instrumentation, and more. It provides good VSWR (1.25 typ.), outstanding attenuation flat - ness (0.65 dB) and excellent thermal stability from -55 to 100C. It features rugged construction with N-male to N-female connectors and heat dissipation fins for efficient cooling. Key Features Feature Advantages Wide frequency range makes the BW-20N100W+ suitable for a wide variety of applica- Wideband operation, DC to 6 GHz tions. Supports high-power test lab and system applications including high-power measure- High power handling to 100W ment, matching, instrumentation, and more. Good VSWR, 1.25:1 typ. Well-matched for 50 systems reduces effects of phase variation. Good flatness, 0.65 dB Provides consistent attenuation performance across the entire frequency band. Rugged construction Excellent durability for a long lifetime of use. Excellent thermal stability, Designed with heat dissipation fins for efficient cooling, the BW-20N100W+ provides reli - -55 to 100C able performance without the need for external cooling equipment. Compact size (3.46 x 3.46 x 6.36) Outstanding performance capability and power handling with minimal space requirements. Notes A.
