Broadwave Technologies

BroadWave Technologies is a leading manufacturer of test accessories, terminations, fixed attenuators and power dividers for the Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, Medical, Telecommunications, Test and Measurement markets. In addition to standard products BroadWave specializes in low cost custom components. All products are 100% tested. • Impedance Matching Pads: Also called minimum loss pads. These devices are used to transform between different impedances. • DC Blocks: Pass RF up to 23 GHz and breakdown voltages up to 500 Volts. Standard 50 and 75 Ohm (other impedances available) devices exhibit low insertion loss. Inner, outer and inner/outer designs are available. • Feedthru Terminations: Designed to match RF components with high impedance test equipment such as an oscilloscope. Custom impedances are also available. • RF Detectors: Available in positive and negative DC polarity from 100 kHz to 3 GHz. 50 and 75 Ohm units are standard. • Conduction Cooled Terminations: Up to 250 Watts average power mounted to a customer provided heat sink. These devices are lower in cost and much smaller than convection cooled terminations. • Convection Cooled Terminations: Up to 1,000 Watts average power with a traditional air cooled design. • Fixed Attenuators: Precision and low cost models are available. DC passing and reverse polarity available for select models. Standard attenuation values are 1-40 dB. 50 and 75 Ohm are standard. • Power Dividers: Resistive and reactive 50 and 75 Ohm units up to 6 GHz in 2-16 way configurations. • RF Adapters: Same series and between series 50 Ohm adapters. DC-50 GHz depending on connector rating. • Manual Variable Attenuators: Rotary attenuation selection up to 110 dB. 50 Ohm, DC-3 GHz. • Programmable Attenuators: Electro-mechanical and solid state designs up to 2.5 GHz. Voltage controlled and TTL controlled 50 and 75 Ohm units are standard with attenuation up to 127 dB. Single step devices are also available.
