ABSTRACT:
An absorptive temperature variable microwave attenuator is produced utilizing at least two different thick film resistors. The temperature coefficients of the resistors are different and are selected so that the attenuator changes at a controlled rate with changes in temperature while the impedance of the attenuator remains substantially constant. Substantially any temperature coefficient of resistance can be created for each resistor by properly selecting and mixing different inks when forming the thick film resistors. Furthermore, attenuators can be created having either a negative temperature coefficient of attenuation or a positive temperature coefficient of attenuation.
