Attenuators - Step

Narda-MITEQ step attenuators provide precise, repeatable control of RF and microwave signal levels through selectable attenuation increments, allowing engineers to adjust signal strength in defined steps. Available in broadband configurations operating from DC to 18 GHz, with attenuation ranges up to 69 dB and precision 1 dB or 10 dB increments, our solutions offer reliable performance for laboratory testing, system calibration, and signal-path management.

Designed for integration into radar, electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), military communications, satellite communications (SATCOM), and RF test and measurement systems, Narda-MITEQ step attenuators support demanding defense, aerospace, communications, and commercial environments where accurate, consistent signal control is essential.

The Narda-MITEQ Thumb Wheel Attenuators can be panel mounted and requires purchase of separate field installable mounting kit. The Rack Mounting Kit accommodates all attenuator series housings.
