PXI Attenuator Modules
Pickering's PXI Attenuator Modules are available in the following configurations:
- Programmable RF Attenuators – accurate DC to 3GHz programmable attenuator has a 1dB step resolution, allowing it to adjust signal amplitudes for optimum measurement by other devices.
- Solid State Programmable RF Attenuators – available in triple or hex formats with bandwidths between 10MHz and 6GHz.
- High Voltage Attenuators – provide a convenient way of attenuating high voltage low frequency signals to levels that can be captured by other PXI devices without risk of damaging them.

We also offer mating cables and connectors for these modules to ensure speedy and successful system integration. We stand behind our products with a three-year warranty.
The table below will help you choose the appropriate version for your application:
