Product Overview
RCAT attenuators are fixed value absorptive attenuators. The highly precision and repeatable monolithic
attenuator chip is processed using the most advanced semiconductor processing techniques. The Cu filled
through-die via’s and Cu metallization on the backside provides a very low thermal resistance path to
dissipate the attenuated power. The attenuator chip is packaged in an LTCC hermetic package utilizing fully
automated and highly reliable manufacturing processes.
