Agilent L4445A
Microwave Switch/Attenuator Driver
Data Sheet
Microwave switch/attenuator
driver offers support of most
common microwave switches
with distribution boards for
easy configuration
The Agilent L4445A is a LXI
Class C compliant instrument
that controls external switches
and attenuators. With its small
size and Ethernet connectivity,
the switch/attenuator driver
can be placed wherever your
application needs it.
The Agilent L4445A provides
digital outputs to control
switches, attenuators, and
other devices that are typically
used to route signals in a high
frequency system. Many of the
most popular microwave switches
Agilent Technologies
and attenuators are supported
through the distribution boards.
The distribution boards enable
fast and easy connection to the
microwave devices.
Using this LXI instrument, you'll
get all the benefits of an Ethernet
connection, instrument Web
server, standard software drivers
and more. The LXI standard is
supported by multiple vendors,
enabling lower cost of test with
accelerated test integration and
development.
