HP / Agilent 8496A Manual Step Attenuator
The HP / Agilent 8496A dc to 4 GHz manual step
attenuator offers exceptional repeatability and reliability. Attenuation
is provided in 10 dB steps from 0 to 110 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. The HP / Agilent
11716A/B/C interconnect kits provide quick connection of HP / Agilent 8494/5/6/7 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators in series for greater dynamic range with 1 dB steps.
