Agilent 8495G Programmable Step Attenuator, DC to 4 GHz, 0 to 70 dB, 10 dB steps, Opt 002

Product Overview

The Agilent 8495G is a 4 GHz step attenuator from Agilent. Attenuators are a type of radio frequency (RF) test equipment that’s useful during RF design. When an engineer needs to reduce (attenuate) the level of an electronic signal, he or she uses an attenuator. Attenuation can protect circuit stages from receiving signal levels that are too high. RF attenuators may be fixed, switched, or variable, depending on their capabilities and applications.
