voltage-controlled variable attenuatorsRFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for a series of voltage-controlled variable attenuators (VVAs) from Skyworks Solutions. The SKY1223x series of attenuators is suitable for applications such as repeaters, wireless backhaul and wireless infrastructure.

The four attenuators in the series, SKY12232-21, SKY12233-11, SKY12235-11 and SKY12236-11, are optimized for low distortion and centered at 1.95, 2.60, 3.15 and 3.8GHz respectively.

Together, the attenuators cover operation from 1.45 to 5.0 GHz and have control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 V. Typical insertion loss of ~1.5 dB offers improved system efficiency and attenuation >25 dB provides excellent receiver protection. All four attenuators are packaged as 4.9 x 3.2 x 1 mm multi-chip modules.
