Agilent 8495G Programmable Step Attenuator, DC to 4 GHz, 0 to 70 dB, 10 dB steps, Opt 002Product OverviewThe Agilent 8495G is a 4 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 4 GHzAttenuation range: 0 to 70 dB, 10 dB stepsInsertion loss at 0 dB: 0.4 dB + 0.07 dB/GHzMaximum SWR: 1.35Repeatability life: 0.03 dB maximum, 5 million cycles per sectionMaximum RF input power: 1 W (average), 100 W (peak)Connector type: choice of type-N female, SMA female, APC-7Programming connector: 12-pin Viking, optional 14-pin DIP
