Weinschel 41-1-12 10-Watt DC-18 GHz Fixed Attenuator
1 dB Attenuation.
The following description was copied from the 1989 Lucas Weinschel Inc. catalog:

FEATURES:
Power Capability: Average input power rating is 10 watts.  Peak power rating is 1 kW maximum.
Wide Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C.  Full rated power to 25°C.  Derated linearly to 0 watts at 125°C
Quality Connectors: SMA(m,f).  Injection molded connector insulators maintain concentricity while permitting up to 10 lbs. of axial force on the center conductor.  An all-spring contact arrangement eliminates the use of epoxy or solder.
Uniform Phase Characteristics: Excellent phase linearity with frequency, and typical unit-to-unit tracking of ±5°
Stability: Low temperature and power coefficients.  Lucas Weinschel film resistors are artifically aged to provide high stability under normal as well as extreme operating conditions
Nominal Impedance: 50 Ohms
Frequency Range: DC to 18.0 GHz
Nominal value/Deviation from Nominal: 1 dB/±0.5 dB
Maximum VSWR:
