The Type 874-GA is a mutual-inductance (waveguide-below-cutoff) type attenuator. A micrometer type barrel adjusts the distance between a pick-up loop attached to three foot coaxial cable and the short section of the input coaxial line. Both the barrel and adjusting sleeve are calibrated in decibels, one turn produces a change of 20 dB for a total or 120 dB of attenuation. Used with other coaxial elements the such as [[874-VI]] voltmeter indicator and [[874-VR]] voltmeter rectifier 874-GA can be used to attenuate and monitor signal generators and oscillators. The attenuator can also be used to measure the attenuation of a network by the substitution method. | |||
