Agilent / HP 8496G
Programmable Step Attenuator
Description
This Programmable Step Attenuator offers exceptional repeatability and reliability.
Attenuation is provided in 10dB steps from 0 to 110dB.
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.
A maximum switching time of 20ms (including contact settling) speeds automatic testing
Custom step attenuator/switch combinations are possible.
