Quick Answer

An RF attenuator reduces signal power by a precise dB amount while maintaining impedance matching. For a T-pad in 50 ohm: R_series = Z0 x (K-1)/(K+1), R_shunt = 2Z0K/(K^2-1), where K = 10^(dB/20).

Design Notes

Resistive attenuators are frequency-independent in theory, but parasitic inductance and capacitance of physical resistors limit the usable frequency range. Through-hole pads work to about 100 MHz; SMD 0402 pads extend to 6 GHz. For broadband precision, use thin-film attenuator chips rated for your frequency range. Always verify return loss (>20 dB) and ensure each resistor can handle its share of the dissipated power.

Common Mistakes

  • 1

    Using a simple voltage divider instead of a matched-impedance pad — this causes reflections and VSWR problems.

  • 2

    Ignoring resistor power dissipation — at high attenuation, nearly all input power is dissipated as heat in the resistors.

  • 3

    Using wirewound resistors at RF frequencies — parasitic inductance destroys the flat frequency response above a few MHz.

Engineering Handbox

1. Calculate K = 10^(6/20) = 10^0.3 = 1.995\n2. R_series = 50 x (1.995-1)/(1.995+1) = 50 x 0.332 = 16.6 ohm\n3. R_shunt = 2 x 50 x 1.995 / (1.995^2 - 1) = 199.5 / 2.98 = 66.9 ohm

Verification6 dB T-pad: two 16.6 ohm series resistors and one 66.9 ohm shunt resistor. Use 16.5 and 68 ohm standard E96 values.

Knowledge Base

πアッテネータの用途は?

特性インピーダンス(50Ωまたは75Ω)を維持しつつ信号電力を減衰。反射とVSWR問題を防止。

T型とπ型の選び方は?

T型:低いシャント容量(高周波向き)。π型:PCB実装が容易。1GHz以下では差は最小限。

T型の計算式は?

R_series = Z0×(K-1)/(K+1)、R_shunt = 2×Z0×K/(K²-1)、K = 10^(dB/20)。

抵抗の精度は?

測定用:1%金属皮膜以上。量産RF:20dB超は0.1%精密抵抗推奨。

カスケード接続は?

dB値を単純加算。3dB + 6dB = 9dB。各段がシステムインピーダンスに整合していること。
