16-channel Attenuator Box for Sgnal Level Adjustment
21 May 2025 - Ranatec, a part of Qamcom Group and creator of test and measurement equipment for RF and microwave applications, announced its 16 channel Attenuator Box. With 16 individual digitally controlled attenuators for high dynamic signal level adjustment, the Attenuator Box is ideal for transmission loss simulation, signal fading and MIMO measurements. It can be combined with Ranatec Butler Matrices, RI 3041 and RI 3101, or Ranatec Switching Boxes and can be used for any type of automized test set-up. It’s controlled via Ethernet by different APIs or Web-interface
The 16 channel Attenuator Box complements Ranatec’s 4 channel RF2025 Attenuator Box by adding 12 more attenuators in the same box. All technical data are the same except the number of channels. This latest product from Ranatec is empowering electronics manufacturers to perform enhanced testing for creating market leading products.
The 16 channel Attenuator Box is a high performance, digitally controlled, 16-channel RF attenuator system. It is intended for any automated RF testing where high accuracy signal power control is needed. The 16 channel Attenuator Box offers exceptional attenuation accuracy, dynamic range and speed.
