Applications

Agilent RF & Microwave Attenuators are designed for signal conditioning and level control applications. They are used to reduce signal levels, improve impedance matching, and measure gain or loss in two-port devices.

Manual Step Attenuators

These attenuators offer precise signal-level control up to 26.5 GHz with unmatched repeatability of less than 0.03 dB up to 5 million cycles. They provide an attenuation range of 121 dB in 1 dB steps by cascading two attenuators.

8494ADC to 4 GHz0 to 110.961.501± 0.03
8495ADC to 4 GHz0 to 700.681.351± 0.03
8496ADC to 4 GHz0 to 1100.961.501± 0.03
Coaxial Fixed Attenuators

These provide precise attenuation, flat frequency response, and low SWR over a broad frequency range. Available in nominal attenuations of 3, 6, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 dB.

ModelFrequencyAttenuation Accuracy (dB)Max SWRMax Input Power (W)
8491ADC to 12.4 GHz0.3 to 2.01.302
8493ADC to 12.4 GHz0.3 to 1.01.302
Programmable Step Attenuators

These offer fast, precise signal-level control up to 50 GHz with a switching time of less than 20 ms. They ensure low measurement uncertainty and reduce calibration cycles.

Attenuator Sets

Sets of four coaxial fixed attenuators with attenuations of 3, 6, 10, and 20 dB are provided in a walnut accessory case, ideal for calibration labs.

Interconnect Kits

Various interconnect kits are available to connect Agilent attenuators in series for broader attenuation ranges.

Quality and Warranty

Agilent offers a three-year warranty and ISO 9001:2008 certified quality management system, ensuring product reliability and reduced cost of ownership.
