The Agilent/Keysight 7562A is a precision step attenuator engineered for signal level control in RF and microwave test environments. Built for accuracy and repeatability across extended operating cycles, this instrument supports research, development, and manufacturing applications requiring reliable attenuation control.
– Technical Specifications
Comparable Agilent/Keysight attenuator models in this product family operate from DC to 26.5 GHz. Step attenuators within the series offer attenuation ranges such as 0–11 dB in 1 dB increments, with extended ranges up to 70 dB or 110 dB available in 10 dB steps.
Accuracy performance in related models reaches ±2% of the dB reading up to 18 GHz, extending to +4% at 26.5 GHz. Repeatability is typically 0.01 dB up to 18 GHz and 0.05 dB to 26.5 GHz, maintained across up to 5 million cycles.
Insertion loss in comparable units is specified at 0.6 dB + 0.09 dB/GHz at 0 dB attenuation. Maximum standing wave ratio (SWR) reaches 1.5 in related models. Peak RF input power handling is rated to 100 W with 1 W average capability in comparable designs.
Connector options include Type-N female, SMA female, and APC-7 configurations. The N7562A multiport ECal variant operates to 9 GHz with Type-N (f) or 3.5 mm (f) connectors available.
