Description

M/A-COM's MAAV-007089-000100 is a PIN diode

based voltage variable attenuator. This device is in a

SOW-16, wide body plastic surface mount package.

These attenuators have linear operating power and

input intercept point levels 15 - 20 dB better than

GaAs FET MMIC voltage variable attenuators. They

are ideally suited for use where low distortion, high

linear operating power and high dynamic range are

required. These devices are optimized for the GSM

frequency band, but exhibit excellent performance

and repeatability over the entire specified frequency

band. The MAAV-007089-000100 is ideally suited

for wireless communications systems.
