MT-81A
The MT-81A programmable digital attenuator is a completely shielded, high performance, digitally controlled, 1-channel RF attenuator system. It is intended for any automated RF testing where high accuracy signal power control is needed. The MT-81A offers very good attenuation accuracy, high dynamic range and speed. The high performance of the attenuator is obtained through a high precision attenuator design and calibration
