Step attenuator / List of 4 manufacturers
What is a Step attenuator?
A step attenuator is an electronic device used to reduce the strength of a signal in discrete steps. This attenuator allows users to select from multiple attenuation levels, which are stepped or incremented in fixed amounts. Typically, users can switch between these steps using a rotary or slide dial. Step attenuators are commonly used in audio equipment, radio communication systems, and measurement instruments, providing precise control over signal levels. Unlike a fixed attenuator that offers a constant level of attenuation, a step attenuator provides flexibility by allowing fine-tuning within a specified range. They are designed to avoid affecting the system's impedance and maintain signal integrity while attenuating the signal.
Application of Step attenuator
１．Radio communication devices: Used to adjust precise signal attenuation to maintain specific signal levels.
２．Audio equipment: Used for gradual volume adjustment when connecting between amplifiers and speakers.
３．Measurement instruments: Used to attenuate test signals to an appropriate level for measurements.
