Agilent / HP 8494A
Manual Step Attenuator
Description
This DC to 4GHz manual step attenuator, offers exceptional repeatability and reliability. Attenuation is provided in 1dB steps from 0 to 11dB. Precision gold plated leaf springs ensure long life (over 5 million cycles) and very high attenuator repeatability (typically 0.01dB). To improve measurement accuracy, NIST traceable data (SWR and attenuation) is available as Option 890. Custom step attenuator/switch combinations are possible. The 11716A/B/C interconnect kits provide quick connection of 8494/5/6/7 1dB and 10dB step attenuators in series for greater dynamic range with 1dB steps.
