Good ones are flat over a wide range, bad ones are only good over a small range. To make sure the attenuator is good at the frequency of interest use the closest harmonic of the calibrations signal to measure your attenuator.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015952853472451335noreply@blogger.com
