Hi,
I need to buy a RF attenuator to troubleshoot my amp. The amp output frequency is up to 300 MHz (pulse). The amp specs are 300 Watt pulse power with 30 Watt linear CW max. I need a RF attenuator in between the amp and my scope so that I won't fry my scope with maximum pulse power from the amp. The question I have is how to choose an attenuator with appropriate db attenuation and power rating in this case. Or in general, what are the rules of thumb on these two parameters?
Thanks for your insight in advance.
