Agilent / HP 8495G

The Agilent 8495G is a Step Attenuator, dc to 4 GHz. This programmable step attenuator has an exceptional repeatability and reliability. Attenuation is provided in 10 dB steps from 0 to 70 dB. The precision gold-plated leaf springs will ensure long life (over 5 million cycles) and very high attenuator repeatability (typically 0.01 dB). To improve measurement accuracy, NIST traceable data (SWR and attenuation) is available as Option 890. A maximum switching time of 20 ms (including contact settling) speeds automatic testing. The custom step attenuator/switch combinations are possible. The Agilent 11716A/B/C interconnect kis provides a quick connection of the Agilent 8494/5/6/7 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators in series for greater range with 1 dB steps.
