Agilent 8494A Manual Step Attenuator DC-4 GHz, 0-11 dB, 1 dB steps. Opt 001Product OverviewThe Agilent 8494A 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 11 dB, 1 dB stepsInsertion Loss at 0 dB: 0.6 dB + 0.09 dB/GHzMaximum SWR: 1.5Repeatability 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-7
