You can think of this as a resistive divider network, so which end receives the signal and which end receives the load does matter.

It's as flat as I'd like it to be 2. 1 Ghz.
This small attenuator was ordered to go with my nano vector network analyzer and my tiny spectrum analyzer. When you need to measure a signal that is too loud for your test equipment, you'll need an attenuator. The enclosure looks/feels quite solid, with the only openings being for the pushbutton actuators themselves, at a fraction of the cost of a precision attenuator and with reasonable performance for the hobbyist. br>I could only test this up to about 1GHz, and all measurements were within my equipment's tolerance, with a SWR of less than 1. 1, as well as the levels of attenuation within. Their markings are 2dB louder than normal.
This attenuator is ideal for low-wattage RF applications that require precision attenuation. The only thing that concerns me is how much power you can put into it. I'd put no more than a Watt in this device based on how it's made; it does a good job for the money for a step attenuator, and it'd be great for hobby use or professional use on a work bench or in a tool kit.
br>Beyond 1, it gets a little wiggly. 5 GHz, but the steps are all within a few tenths of a GHz. Even in deep wiggles above 2, 4 dB can be heard. 5 GHz.
