Agilent / HP 8495B
Coaxial Step Attenuator
Description
This Coaxial Step Attenuator offers exceptional repeatability and reliability.
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.
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.
