Hi,
We have a full duplex transceiver link whose power output is around 2W. For link tests when we connect a 2W fixed attenuator to transceiver output, it raises noise floor on receiver band very much so that receive sensitivity decreases. Is such a thing possible, is this a nonlinear effect? Is it problematic to use attenuator at its power rating?
Thanks,
