The 87130A is an 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.
Additional Features:
Controls up to 248 switch and/or step attenuator sections
Simple programming through GP-ITG and GP-VEE
Switch position sensing
SCPI compatible
Drive Capacity: Internal Driver: 31 relays; one Agilent 84940A driver card is installed within the instrument
External Drivers: 217 additional relays; up to 7 additional Keysight Agilent HP 84940A driver cards can be daisy-chained external to the Agilent 87130A. Each Agilent 84940A can drive 31 relays
Voltage: +24 V ±3.0 VDC (Miswiring the +24 V wire will cause catastrophic driver board failure)
The Agilent 87130A is a 3 1/2 inch, full-width System II attenuator/switch driver capable of driving up to 248 bistatic electromechanical switch or attenuator sections. The Agilent 87130A is controlled over GP-IB via Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) commands. It has been designed for use in both ATE switching systems and computer-controlled bench top applications. The Agilent 87130A has no front panel controls. Manual control is realized through an ITG driver and a computer controller. The Agilent 87130A can drive 31 switches via seven additional Agilent 84940A driver cards.
