Abstract :
In this paper, characteristics of a pin-attenuator on a rectangular waveguide line, which operates in ka-wave band, are presented. In the band of 3 GHz an attenuator with one diode provides attenuation adjustment from 2dB to more than 10dB, and especially in the band of 34GHz-35.5GHz, the attenuator can apply an attenuation range between 1.2dB and 15dB, which can be controlled by the bias circuit.
