description
The Keysight 8494H DC to 18 GHz programmable step attenuator provides excellent repeatability and reliability. The attenuation is 0 to 11 dB in 1 dB steps. Precision gold-plated springs ensure long life (5 million times of reuse) and extremely high repeater repeatability (typically 0.01 dB). NIST traceable data (SWR and attenuation) is available as option UK6 to improve measurement accuracy. The 20 ms maximum transition time (including contact stabilization time) speeds up automatic testing. Custom step attenuator / switch combinations can be used. The Keysight 11716A / B / C interconnect kit can quickly connect Keysight 8494/5/6/7 1 dB and 10 dB step attenuators for greater dynamic range in 1 dB steps.
