Keysight 8495D/K Attenuators Operating and Service Manual Introduction Product Overview Specifications This manual contains operating instructions for the 8495D/K Attenuators. Included in the manual is information required to install and test these attenuators.
Introduction Product Overview The Keysight 8495D and 8495K are 50- ohm, dc to 26.5 GHz, 0 dB to 70 dB (in 10 dB steps), coaxial attenuators with APC 3.5 connectors. Each attenuator is made up of four attenuation sections connected in cascade. Each section consists of a precision thin- film attenuator card, a lossless thru- line, and a ganged pair of edge line transmission lines.
20 milliseconds including settling time. Once switched, the solenoid plungers are held in place by permanent magnets and the solenoid plungers automatically disconnect the selected coil drive and connect the opposite coil drive (see Figure 1-1 Figure 1-3).
