Agilent / HP 8494G
Step Attenuator
Description
This Attenuator offers exceptional repeatability and reliability.
Attenuation is provided in 1dB steps from 0 to 11dB.
Precision gold plated leaf springs ensure long life and very high attenuator repeatability (typically 0.01 dB).
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.
