Aeroflex Introduces Programmable Attenuator Units

Single And Dual Channel Configurations In Half-Rack Enclosures

Aeroflex/Weinschel’s New Series of Programmable Attenuator Units represent a streamlined approach in programmable attenuation for bench test and subsystem applications. Standard 8320, 8321 and 8331 Series designs house and control various Aeroflex/Weinschel Programmable Attenuator Models (3200-XE, 3400, 150T, and 4200 Series) via front panel controls (8320 & 8321 only), Ethernet, USB and Serial communications interfaces. A GPIB (IEEE-488) interface is also available as an option on Models 8320 and 8321 only.

The 8320 series are single or dual channel configurations housed in half rack enclosures. The 8321 series are multi-channel configurations housed in 19 inch enclosures and can be configured for up to 12 attenuation channels. Both series can be configured with RF connectors on the front or rear of the unit. Through (front to rear) configurations are available only for 8321 Series. Model 8331 Series offers a lower cost solution for automated bench test and subsystem applications.

Most 8331 Series are multi-channel configurations where RF signal is routed through either the front or rear mounted ports. This series can be configured for up to 12 independent channels of attenuation and can be controlled via Ethernet, USB and Serial communications interfaces.

Labview based Attenuator Control Center Software (ACCS) is included and can be used in conjunction with the operation of this series of programmable attenuator units and allows the user to setup, control and perform test and measurements over standard communication interfaces.

Aeroflex/Weinschel also provides custom subsystems where a variety of test configurations can be incorporated within a single unit.
