The Keysight 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, greater than five 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. You can achieve high attenuation accuracy and low standing wave ratio (SWR) through the use of miniature thin-film attenuation cards composed of high-stability tantalum nitride film of sapphire substrate. Insertion loss is less than 2 dB of loss at 26.5 GHz. The compact size of the unit allows for easy integration into instruments and ATE systems.
