The Bird 50H is a coaxial attenuator element designed for power measurement applications, particularly with Bird 43 series wattmeters. It functions by providing a fixed level of attenuation to reduce RF signal power. This element is engineered for reliability and robust construction, making it suitable for various RF and microwave systems where signal level control or testing is required.
### Technical Specifications
* **Model Name**: 50H
* **Manufacturer**: Bird Technologies Group
* **Product Type**: Standard Plug-In Element for Wattmeters
* **Impedance**: 50 Ohm
* **Frequency Range**: 2 to 30 MHz
* **Maximum Power Rating**: 50 Watts
* **Attenuation**: While the 50H is specified as an element for wattmeters, and not a standalone attenuator with a fixed dB value, other Bird attenuator series (like the 50-A series) offer standard attenuation values of 10, 20, 30, and 40 dB. The 50H element itself is designed to work in conjunction with a wattmeter to measure power within its specified range.
* **SWR**: Specific SWR values are not detailed for the 50H element in the provided documentation. However, Bird attenuators in general are known for their robust construction and conservative ratings, implying good performance within their specified bands.
* **Connector Type**: This is a plug-in element designed to fit into specific Bird wattmeter models (e.g., Bird 43, 4430, 4431, 4381, 4385, 4520 series). It does not have standard coaxial connectors like N-type or BNC.
### Electrical Characteristics
* **Power Handling**: Rated for up to 50 Watts of continuous power.
* **Attenuation Level**: The 50H element is part of a power measurement system, not a standalone attenuator with a fixed dB value. Its primary function is to enable a wattmeter to measure power within a specific range.
### Physical Characteristics
* **Dimensions**: Approximately 2 x 1.38 x 1.5 inches.
* **Weight**: Approximately 0.12 lbs.
* **Construction**: World-renowned for high-quality, robust construction. Fully shielded to reduce interference and minimize signal leakage. Self-cooled and maintenance-free, requiring no external power or cooling plates.
### Compatibility
* **Wattmeter Compatibility**: Designed to fit Bird 43, 4430, 4431, 4381, 4385, and 4520 series Wattmeters.
