CHT4694-99F
25-45 GHz Attenuator
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHT4694 is a variable 25-45GHz
attenuator designed for a wide range of
applications, from military to commercial
communication systems. The backside of the
chip is both RF and DC grounded. This helps
to simplify the assembly process.

The circuit is manufactured with a MESFET
process, 0.7µm gate length, via holes through
the substrate and air bridges.
It is supplied in chip form.
