HMC985 Voltage Variable Attenuator, 20 - 50 GHz

The HMC985 is an absorptive Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) which operates from 20 - 50 GHz and is ideal in designs where an analog DC control signal must be used to control RF signal levels over a 35 dB dynamic range. It features two shunt-type attenuators which are controlled by two analog voltages, Vctrl1 and Vctrl2. Optimum linearity performance of the attenuator is achieved by first varying Vctrl1 of the first attenuation stage from -3V to 0V with Vctrl2 fixed at -3V. The control voltage of the second attenuation stage, Vctrl2, should then be varied from -3V to 0V with Vctrl1 fixed at 0V. However, if the Vctrl1 and Vctrl2 pins are connected together it is possible to achieve the full analog attenuation range with only a small degradation in input IP3 performance. Applications include AGC circuits and temperature compensation of multiple gain stages in microwave point to point and VSAT radios.
