The Agilent 84906K programmable step attenuator offers coaxial measurements to 26.5 GHz in a compact, rugged design. It offers repeatability of better than 0.03 dB, excellent life (greater than 5 million switching cycles per section) and an attenuation range of 0 to 90 dB in 10-dB steps. This latest design evolution sets new standards for size and performance. High attenuation accuracy and low SWR are achieved through the use of miniature thin-film attenuation cards composed of high-stability tantalum nitride film of saphire substrate. Insertion loss is outstanding, with less than 2 dB of loss at 26.5 GHz. The compact size of the unit, 35 percent smaller than the Agilent 8495/7 (26.5 GHz) family, allows for easy integration into instruments and ATE systems.
Features of the HP 84906K Attenuator include:
Superior RF Performance
- Frequency range: dc to 26.5 GHz
- Insertion loss at 0 dB: 0.8 dB + 0.04 dB/GHz
- Maximum SWR: 1.3 to 12.4 GHz, 1.7 to 26.5 GHz
Repeatability and Life Span
- Repeatability life: 0.03 dB maximum
- 5 million cycles per section
Power Handling
- Maximum RF input power: 1 W (average), 100 W (peak)
- Connector type: choice of 3.5 mm female, 3.5 mm male/female
- Programming connector: 10-pin sockets
