Keysight (Agilent) 54008A Delay Line

The Keysight (Agilent) 54008A Delay Line is a precision RF component that introduces a controlled 22 ns time delay into signal paths for applications demanding accurate timing and waveform synchronization. Operating across DC to 20 GHz, this delay line integrates with Keysight digitizing oscilloscopes and signal analyzers to enable precise trigger observation, signal alignment, and system calibration across complex measurement setups.

– Technical Specifications

• Delay Time: 22 ns
• Frequency Range: DC to 20 GHz
