Attenuators - PIN Diode
Narda-MITEQ analog and digital PIN diode attenuators provide precise, electronically controlled adjustment of RF and microwave signal levels across complex electronic systems. Using PIN diodes as electronically controlled elements, these attenuators regulate the amount of RF power passing through a circuit by varying the diode bias current or control state. This enables fast, repeatable adjustment of signal attenuation to support dynamic signal management, receiver protection, and system performance optimization.
With standard attenuation ranges up to 60 dB and custom digital solutions available up to 80 dB, our portfolio supports radar, electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), military communications, satellite communications (SATCOM), and RF test and measurement systems. Designed for demanding defense, aerospace, space, and communications applications, Narda-MITEQ PIN diode attenuators offer flexible integration and customizable electrical performance to meet specific system requirements.

Full Attenuators - PIN Diode Catalog Listing
A PIN diode attenuator is a type of variable attenuator that uses a PIN diode as the primary component. The diode is used to control the amount of RF (radio frequency) power that is passed through the circuit by varying the diode's current. This allows the attenuation (or reduction) of the RF signal to be precisely controlled. PIN diode attenuators are used in RF and microwave applications, such as telecommunications and wireless systems, to adjust the level of a signal before it is transmitted or received.
