Agilent HP 8494G / 8495G with option 001 Programmable Attenuator

Agilent HP 8494G / 8495G,”These programmable step attenuators offer precise signal attenuation over a broad frequency range and are commonly used for signal level control in RF and microwave systems. Featuring a total attenuation range from 0 to 70 dB, they provide programmable step changes in 10 dB and 1 dB increments, ensuring flexibility and control in signal path setups. Designed with exceptional repeatability and low insertion loss, they support measurements and system simulations with minimal degradation of signal quality. These attenuators are ideal for automated test systems, receiver sensitivity testing, and intermodulation distortion analysis. Their wide frequency range and excellent RF performance make them well-suited for telecom, defense, and aerospace applications. The inclusion of Option 001 allows for remote programmability via GPIB, enabling integration into complex automated test environments. Compact and rugged, the modules are suitable for both benchtop and rack-mounted systems. Engineers benefit from improved system linearity, gain control, and dynamic range adjustments during measurement procedures. Their robust mechanical and electrical design ensures long operational life even under heavy use. By offering reliable and precise attenuation control, these devices help maintain signal integrity and support consistent, repeatable RF testing across diverse test and measurement scenarios.”
