From Aeroflex Weinschels first DC-1 GHz tee attenuator, came the technology that enables the design of the first DC-5 GHz, the first DC-10 GHz, and the first DC-18 GHz coaxial attenuators. These designs led to the development of the distributed resistor card attenuator element, which is the basis for most all attenuators manufactured today from DC-60 GHz. Until the original patents expired a few years ago, most major attenuator manufacturers in the US were licensed under one or more Weinschel Engineering, Co., patents

Today, our product line includes a wide variety of standard and custom designed fixed, continuously variable, manual step and programmable binary step attenuators and terminations covering the DC to 50 GHz frequency range, at power levels up to 1,000 watts.
