High Resolution Multi-port Step Attenuators Now Offered with Ethernet Control

We are proud to unveil a new series of Lab Brick™ devices with Ethernet control. These new multiport Lab Brick Digital Attenuators are the 4-port LDA-802Q, and the 8-port LDA-802-8, each operating from 200 MHz to 8 GHz for a variety of L-, S-, and C-band applications that require the need for single or repeating attenuation ramps, complex attenuation profiles or simple manual attenuation control.

These solid-state, rugged, yet low-cost 50 Ohm step attenuators are bi-directional and offer a high dynamic range of 120 dB. They also feature an impressive, ultra-fine step size of 0.1 dB for ultimate signal attenuation control. 

These portable and programmable RF/microwave test devices have been designed to suit high speed MIMO test platforms as they are easily programmed for fixed attenuation or swept attenuation ramps/fading profiles directly from the included Graphical User Interface (GUI). Additional testing applications include Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE, and DVB systems, and microwave radio simulators.

Test technicians wishing to develop their own interface can utilize Vaunix’s included LabVIEW drivers, Windows API DLL files, Linux drivers, macOS SDK examples, and more.

These portable, hand-held units can also be packaged in a single rack unit for ATE stands. We also provide custom engineering services for your exact electrical and mechanical specifications.

Prices are $2,995 for the 4-port LDA-802Q, and $3,999 for the 8 port LDA-802-8.
