Flann 15110

Flann Precision Rotary Vane Attenuators are considered by many to represent the ‘Industry Standard’ in precision waveguide attenuators, offering high accuracy and unsurpassed repeatability and reliability.

The Rotary Vane Attenuator is the ideal instrument for use in waveguide systems where broadband direct reading of attenuation is required, particularly as a standard for reflectometer and swept systems.

The Flann Rotary Vane Attenuator consists of a rotating circular waveguide section flanked by a pair of low VSWR rectangular to circular transitions. The three waveguide sections are fitted with stable high attenuation elements which ensure close agreement of the attenuation characteristic to the theoretical law. The attenuation is directly related to the relative angular position of the attenuating element in the centre section (Ø) and can be seen to follow the law 40 log (sec Ø).
