JJG 322-1983 Rotory Vane Attenuator
Basic Information
Scope
This procedure is applicable to the verification of all types of rotary attenuators with an accuracy of ± (0.02~0.05) dB/10 dB that are newly manufactured, in use, or repaired.
Rotary attenuators have the advantages of a small initial attenuation, high accuracy, good frequency response, low phase shift, high resolution, and good stability. They are a widely used precision attenuator in the microwave band and are often used as a standard to calibrate lower-level attenuation standard devices and working attenuators.
Rotary attenuators consist of three sections of waveguides connected in series. The two ends are fixed rectangular-circular transition waveguides, and the middle section is a circular waveguide that can rotate around its longitudinal axis. Resistive attenuation plates are installed on the central plane of the two rectangular-circular transition waveguides, which are parallel to the wide sides of the rectangular waveguide. Attenuation plates are also installed on the diameter plane of the middle circular waveguide. In the initial position, they are on the same plane as the fixed attenuation plates at the two ends.
