SUMMARY American Microwave Corporation attenuators have been improved with a new driver circuit. This report gives details of various design verification tests. AGH8018-60DD-SF OPTION 1218, SK The model option has SK appended to identify the new driver board of 2006. The switching time is generally better than 400 nano seconds. The temperature variation of attenuation of the pin diodes is non linear. The optimum linear temperature compensation is dependent on the operating temperature range. That is, the best linear temperature compensation for -10 to +85 deg C is different from the best linear temperature compensation for -40 to 95 deg C. Temperature compensation ( #4) optimized for -10 to 85 deg C is used in this report Various other measurements and switching times are recorded.
