The 8498A is a 18 GHz Fixed 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
Maximum SWR: 1.15 to 8 GHz, 1.25 to 12.4 GHz, 1.3 to 18 GHz
Maximum Input Power: 25 W (average), 500 W (peak, DC to 5.8 GHz), 125 W (peak, 5.8 to 18 GHz)
Connector: Type-N male, female
The Agilent 8498A is a High Power Attenuator that is designed to meet the needs of high power attenuation applications in the RF and microwave frequency range. The Agilent 8498A is a 25 watt average, 30 dB fixed attenuator with a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The attenuator offers peak power of 500 W up to 5.8 GHz and a low SWR of 1.15 up to 8 GHz. Accuracy is plus or minus 1 dB over the entire range. The unit features "human engineered" cooling fins that prevent operator burns even under continuous maximum input power conditions.
