Attenuators And Pulse Limiters
A bidirectional attenuator, i.e. the attenuation and power capability specification is valid for both directions. There is a large variety of applications for this attenuator: The measuring range of a spectrum analyzer can be increased. Any kind of meter can be protected against overload; it can be used to control the linearity of a meter reading. It can minimize measurement uncertainty caused by mismatched impedances. During an EMI receiver calibration an attenuator directly at the pulse generator output is inevitable.
