GaAs MMIC SMT Voltage-Variable Attenuator, DC - 8 GHz

Description

The HMC346AMS8GE is absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuators (VVA) in 8 lead surface-mount packages operating from DC - 8 GHz. It features an on-chip reference attenuator for use with an external op-amp to provide simple single voltage attenuation control, 0 to -5V. The device is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must control RF signal levels over a 30 dB amplitude range. Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave point-to-point and VSAT radios.ApplicationsPoint-to-Point RadioVSAT Radio
