R&S®RSC Step Attenuator

Where precise signal levels count

Brief Description

The R&S®RSC is a switchable, mechanical step attenuator. It is available in various models with different upper frequency limits (6 GHz or 18 GHz), maximum attenuation ranges and minimum settable step sizes. The R&S®RSC can also control external step attenuators with frequency ranges from DC to 40 GHz or 67 GHz.

Key Facts

  • Step attenuators with frequency ranges up to 6 GHz, 18 GHz, 40 GHz and 67 GHz
  • Maximum attenuation ranges up to 139.9 dB, 139 dB, 115 dB and 75 dB
  • Minimum step sizes of 0.1 dB, 1 dB and 5 dB
  • Besides the internal attenuator, up to four external attenuators can be controlled (R&S®RSC-Z405, 40 GHz or R&S®RSC-Z675, 67 GHz)
  • Outstanding accuracy due to frequency response correction and user calibration
