Agilent 84904L Programmable Step Attenuator, DC to 40 GHz, 0 to 11 dB

Agilent 84904L Programmable Step Attenuator, DC to 40 GHz, 0 to 11 dBProduct OverviewThe Agilent 84904L is a 40 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.Frequency range: DC to 40 GHzAttenuation range: 0 to 11 dB, 1 dB stepsInsertion loss at 0 dB: 0.8 dB + 0.04 dB/GHzMaximum SWR: 1.3 to 12.4 GHz, 1.7 to 34 GHz, 1.8 to 40 GHzRepeatability life: 0.03 dB maximum, 0.5 million cycles per sectionMaximum RF input power: 1 W (average), 100 W (peak)Connector type: 2.4 mm female, optional 2.4 mm/2.92 mm male/femaleProgramming connector: 10-pin sockets
