Abstract

See full text

A multi-path, ladder-type variable step RF signal attenuator is provided. The ladder network is comprised of a number of asymmetric power splitting elements and PI-pad resistor attenuator elements. The high-speed switching and long life characteristics of PIN diodes are utilized to switch resistive attenuator elements into or out of the ladder network to provide selectable values of signal attenuation.
