I don't like that the description says DC-4.0GHz operating frequency when the attenuation drops to nothing just before 2GHz. I'm being generous rounding up to 3 stars from 2.5 stars. It only operates through half the declared frequency range. Haven't verified the impedance.

This attenuator works perfectly for fine-tuning and testing my ham radio setup. The SMA connectors fit snugly, and it feels solid and well-made. It handles frequency adjustments smoothly without any noticeable signal loss. Great for protecting sensitive equipment during testing or calibration. If you’re into radio experiments, this is a handy tool to have around.

This Radio Frequency Attenuator DC Double Female Head SMA Attenuator 50Ω is only fair as an attenuator. Using a VNA that reads pretty accurately in the .+/- 1 dB range, the attenuators are only fair. I'd consider this a +/- 1 dB thing, maybe worse in some cases.The 0 dB section is not very useful. It is generally in the - 0.5 dB range and has wide variation. The calibration check is an SMA barrel and is no worse than about - 0.1 dB over the 3 GHz range that I can measure.The - 10 dB section averages about - 10 dB but has wide excursions of +/- 0.5 dB and worse at the 3 GHz end.The - 20 dB section averages about - 19.5 dB and has even wider excursions, +/- 0.5 dB at the low end and worse above 1.5 GHz.The - 30 dB section ranges from - 29 dB to - 30.5 dB and has wide excursions above 1.5 GHz.I think coaxial attenuators, which do cost way more, are probably the better choice. If you do not need great accuracy, this may work.
