A 2.4 GHz Matched Variable Attenuator is part of a Transceiver Chip used in Personal Communication Systems. The following report describes the research done in a 2.4 GHz Matched Variable Attenuator Senior Project. This report introduces the Microwave Attenuator by explaining its functions and applications. A detailed description of the Attenuator's internal microwave components and the design procedure using HP-EEsof simulation software is included. Next, the fabrication technique and an explanation of testing procedures using a network analyzer is discussed. Finally, the test results of the simulated and fabricated attenuator are compared and contrasted.
