ABSTRACT:
An attenuator assembly (38) employs circuitry formed on an attenuator substrate (44) having short voltage divider path lengths that allow the use of low-cost divider selecting relays (58, 60, and 62) while maintaining low VSWR and aberration levels through the attenuator. An interconnect circuit board (80) provides electrical power, control signals, a ground plane shield (108), and probe coding contacts (32) for connection to the attenuator substrate. The circuits on the attenuator substrate are laser-trimmed to obtain predetermined electrical characteristics prior to assembly in a completed attenuator assembly. The attenuator substrate rests on a recess (128) formed in top margin (127) of a cavity (120) formed within a housing (42). A conductive elastomer (102) compressed between the attenuator substrate and the interconnect board electrically connects the interconnect board circuits with the attenuator circuit and forms a conductive shield path (110) between the housing and the ground plane shield of the interconnect board. Multiple attenuator circuits, each in a separate cavity of the housing, share a single interconnect board and conductive elastomer material, thereby resulting in a simple, well shielded, low-cost, attenuator assembly.
