Abstract: A microwave attenuator structure including an attenuator card having disposed thereon a pair of resistive elements electrically connected in series by an inductive element for compensating for an otherwise occurring decline in the value of the attenuator at high frequencies, and a method of constructing the subject attenuator.

Abstract: A microwave termination for dissipating substantially all of the energy transmitted through a coaxial line structure which has a body adapted to be connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial line, a center conductor adapted to be connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial line, a dielectric member disposed between the center conductor and the body for maintaining the center conductor coaxially disposed relative to the body, and a cylindrically shaped resistor radially disposed within the body so as to be in electrical contact with the body at its opposite ends and with the center conductor at a central portion thereof. The resistor has a resistive coating which absorbs the energy received by the termination from the coaxial line.
