Tech Brief: Matrix Attenuators-The Unsung Hero of Handover, Mesh, and Other Test Systems

Wireless and antenna technologies and communication demands have become more complex, leading to a wider range of test systems and technologies. These systems are designed to test new wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi 6e/7, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, cellular, and proprietary wireless technologies. Even though wireless technology is becoming more complex, RF attenuators and attenuator matrices are still important components of modern RF test systems. This article explains how attenuators and attenuator matrices are used in wireless and handover test systems.
