Wide Bandwidth: DC - 8 GHz Low Phase Shift vs. Attenuation 32 dB Attenuation Range Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, 50 ohm system Typical Applications This attenuator is ideal for use as a VVA for DC - 8 GHz applications: Point-to-Point Radio VSAT Radio The HMC346MS8G & HMC346MS8GE are absorp- tive Voltage Variable Attenuators (VVA) in 8 lead sur- face-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 -3V. The device is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must con- t r o l R F s i g n a l l e v e l s o v e r a 3 0 d B a m p l i t u d e r a n g e . Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave point-to-point and VSAT radios.
