PSPL5510K Datasheet
The PSPL5510K Attenuators address a need that has been totally ignored by other microwave component manufacturers who specify their products in the frequency domain, but ignore the time domain responses. For time domain measurements, it is important to also know the transient response of attenuators used in a test set-up. These 2.92 mm attenuators have 5 ps rise times and are recommended for measuring pulses with rise times of 15 ps or slower. For frequency domain measurements, the useful frequency range is DC to 40 GHz. The 2.92 mm connector is compatible with SMA and 3.5 mm connectors.
