This is a circuit of voltage controlled variable gain amplifier. This circuit uses 2N4391 that will provide a low Rds(on) less than 30 Ohm. This circuit also uses a tee attenuator, that will provide optimum dynamic linear range for attenuation. We can obtain the attenuation greater than 100dB at 10MHz by providing proper RF construction [...]
