Abstract: A thin-film, radio frequency terminator is provided that includes a mounting flange and a thin-film termination chip mounted on a surface of the mounting flange. The mounting flange grounds the termination chip. The termination chip includes a substrate, a terminal, a metallization layer including a resistor pad electrically connecting the terminal to the mounting flange, and a cover. The terminator has a low physical profile but provides high power handling capability.

Abstract: A coaxial attenuator is provided. The attenuator includes a central body with first and second sockets at opposite ends thereof, outer conductors threadably engageable with the first and second sockets, inner conductors coaxial with the outer conductors, a resistive element or “chip” positioned within the central body, and a floating shroud or jack adapter captured between the central body and one of the outer conductors. Transverse slots are formed in ends of the inner conductors to create flexible ends which contact and bias sides of the resistive element. The floating shroud includes an internal, annular projection which is captured between a shoulder formed in the outer conductor and a side of the central body, allowing the shroud to be captured on the attenuator while permitting movement of the shroud with respect to the central body and the outer conductor.
