Specifications and Ordering
Our designs are built onsite and upon request. We tailor each order through our sales engineers to better serve your purchase.
QuinStar’s QAL Micrometer Type Level Set Attenuator is available in seven waveguide bands to cover the frequency range of 18 – 110 GHz. These level set attenuators feature a micrometer. The micrometer enables fine and repeatable adjustments with quick reset. We fabricate QAL using a straight waveguide section. The waveguides incorporate a lossy material for the attenuators. As a result, the operating characteristics are relatively constant over full waveguide bandwidths.
Additionally, QuinStar’s QAF Fixed Attenuators are a related product that meet slightly different requirements. Another similar product is the Variable Phase Shifter QAS.
QAL applications include test set ups and prototype assemblies that require precise and repeatable settings. For example, many universities and R&D laboratories use Micrometer Type Level Set Attenuators.
