Safe and Sound Pro mmWave 20 dB Fixed Attenuator – Enhance Measurement Range for High-Power RF Signals

The Safe and Sound Pro mmWave 20 dB Fixed Attenuator is a high-performance accessory designed to extend the measurement range of the Safe and Sound Pro mmWave Meter. This attenuator allows users to measure higher power density RF signals, particularly in high-exposure environments where RF radiation levels exceed the standard meter’s capacity. By reducing the power of incoming signals by a factor of 100, the attenuator makes it possible to measure RF levels that would otherwise exceed the standard detection range of the meter. This is especially useful for professionals conducting RF safety assessments, measuring 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) signals, and assessing automotive radar or industrial RF emissions.

Key Features:

• 20 dB Fixed Attenuation: This attenuator reduces the strength of incoming signals by a factor of 100, allowing the Safe and Sound Pro mmWave Meter to measure significantly higher power density signals without overloading the meter.

• Extended Measurement Range: When used with the standard “stub” antenna, the attenuator increases the maximum measurable signal to 50,000,000 µW/m². When paired with the optional directional “horn” antenna, the maximum signal measurable increases to 3,000,000 µW/m².

• Easy to Install: The attenuator attaches directly to the Safe and Sound Pro mmWave Meter and is easy to install and remove, providing seamless integration when higher signal measurements are necessary.

• Ideal for High-Exposure Environments: The attenuator is perfect for use in areas with strong RF radiation, such as near 5G cell towers, industrial RF systems, and military radar installations. It ensures that RF exposure levels in such environments can be accurately measured without damaging the meter or producing inaccurate results.

Applications:

The Safe and Sound Pro mmWave 20 dB Fixed Attenuator is specifically designed for users who need to measure high-power RF signals in demanding environments. Its primary applications include:

• 5G mmWave Radiation Measurement: With the roll-out of high-frequency 5G infrastructure, many locations experience intense RF emissions from 5G cell towers and small cell antennas. The attenuator allows users to measure these higher levels accurately.

• Automotive Radar and ADAS Testing: The attenuator is ideal for measuring RF emissions from advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that operate in the 24 GHz to 30 GHz frequency range. These systems often emit high levels of RF radiation, making the attenuator necessary for precise measurement.

• Industrial RF Systems: In industries utilizing mmWave technology for non-destructive testing (NDT), material analysis, and other high-frequency applications, the attenuator ensures that the RF exposure from such equipment can be accurately monitored and evaluated.

• Military and Defense RF Monitoring: High-power RF sources used in military radar and communications systems often generate RF levels beyond the standard measurement range of the Safe and Sound Pro mmWave Meter. The attenuator provides the necessary reduction in signal strength to measure such emissions.

How It Works:

The 20 dB Fixed Attenuator works by reducing the strength of RF signals before they are processed by the meter. This reduction in signal strength (attenuation) allows the meter to measure much higher power density levels without exceeding its maximum input range. The result is accurate, reliable measurements in high-exposure RF environments.

When used with the standard "stub" antenna, the maximum measurable signal is extended to 50,000,000 µW/m². When paired with the optional directional "horn" antenna, the attenuator allows measurements of signals up to 3,000,000 µW/m².
