Abstract
In this paper we present the design of a digital PIN diode based attenuator at L-band. The design concept uses an analog attenuator digitally controlled to generate accurate bias. A six-bit attenuator is presented. The digital control concept allows a high cumulative accuracy which is implemented using of the shelf Arduino processor.
