The 8495A is a 4 GHz step attenuator from Agilent. Attenuators are a type of radio frequency (RF) test equipment that’s useful during RF design. When an engineer needs to reduce (attenuate) the level of an electronic signal, he or she uses an attenuator. Attenuation can protect circuit stages from receiving signal levels that are too high. RF attenuators may be fixed, switched, or variable, depending on their capabilities and applications.
Additional Features:
Frequency Range: DC to 4 GHz
Attenuation Range: 0 to 70 dB, 10 dB steps
Insertion Loss at 0 dB: 0.4 dB + 0.07 dB/GHz
Maximum SWR: 1.35
Repeatability Life: 0.03 dB maximum, 5 million cycles per section
Maximum RF Input Power: 1 W (average), 100 W (peak)
Connector Type: choice of Type-N female, SMA female, APC-7
The Agilent 8495A is a used Manual Step Attenuator that 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. Custom step attenuator/switch combinations are possible. 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators in series for greater dynamic range with 1 dB steps.
