The 8496H is a 18 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 18 GHz
Attenuation range: 0 to 110 dB, 10 dB steps
Insertion loss at 0 dB: 0.6 dB + 0.09 dB/GHz
Maximum SWR: 1.5 to 8 GHz, 1.6 to 12.4 GHz, 1.9 to 18 GHz
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
Programming connector: 12-pin Viking, optional 14-pin DIP
The Agilent 8496H is a Programmable Step Attenuator that offers exceptional repeatability and reliability.
