Product Overview

The HP Agilent 8495H DC to 18 GHz Programmable Step Attenuator offers exceptional repeatability and reliability. Attenuation is provided in 10 dB steps from 0 to 70 dB. Precision gold-plated leaf springs 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. Custom step attenuator/switch combinations are possible. 

Other features and specifications of the HP 8495H Step Attenuator include:

• Frequency range: dc to 18 GHz
• Attenuation range: 0 to 70 dB, 10 dB steps 
• Insertion loss at 0 dB: 0.4 dB + 0.07 dB/GHz
