  • Patent number: 8143969
    Abstract: A multiple tap attenuator microchip device is disclosed. The device includes a substrate having two or more attenuator taps formed on a surface of the substrate. One or more ground contacts are also formed on the substrate surface and operatively connected to the attenuator taps. The attenuator taps each include a resistive network that is configured to provide a level of attenuation of an rf signal applied to the attenuator tap that is different from the attenuation level provided by the other attenuator tap(s).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2009
