  • Patent number: 10460992
    Abstract: High-frequency thin film chip attenuators can include a substrate having a first side and a second side, a first portion coupled to the first side of the substrate, and a second portion coupled to the second side of the substrate. The first portion can include a ground section, an input contact section, and an output contact section. The second portion can include a ground section, an input section, an output section, and a plurality of resistive sections providing electrical communication between the input section, the output section, and the ground section. The resistive sections can be arranged in an attenuation configuration to attenuate a signal received at the input section and output via the output section. A plurality of through-holes extending through the substrate can provide electrical communication between sections on the first side of the substrate and associated sections on the second side of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
