 UMCC offers this  selection of pin-diode variable attenuators in octave bands  with high dynamic range to 80dB.  Attenuators are equipped with a linearizer driver circuit for attenuation control setting.  Control signal is via a voltage or a digital word.  Attenuators are also available without a driver where control would be via a forward current.
