Features:
- DC to 26.5 GHz or DC to 40 GHz Frequency Coverage
- 0 to 11 dB, 0 to 70 dB or 0 to 90 dB Attenuation
- 1 dB Steps or 10 dB Steps
- High Accuracy
The Keysight 84904/6/7K/L Programmable Step Attenuators offer coaxial measurements to 26.5 GHz (K models)
or to 40 GHz (L models), in a compact, rugged design. The first model in this family is the Keysight
Technologies, Inc. 84906K/L, which offers outstanding performance with an attenuation range of 0 to
90 dB in 10 dB steps. Other models include the Keysight 84904K/L, with 0 to 11 dB of attenuation in
1 dB steps, and the Keysight 84907K/L, with 0 to 70 dB of attenuation in 10 dB steps.
This latest design evolution sets new standards for size and performance. High attenuation accuracy
and low SWR are achieved through the use of miniature thin-film attenuation cards composed of
high-stability tantalum nitride film on a sapphire substrate. Insertion loss performance is outstanding,
with less than 2 dB of loss at 26.5 GHz and only 2.4 dB at 40 GHz.
The Keysight 84904/6/7K/L Programmable step attenuators offers three connector types. For operation to 40 GHz, the 84904/6/7L
models offer either the 2.4 mm connector, which is recommended for top performance and for rugged
and repeatable connections, or the 2.92 mm connector, which is compatible with SMA and 3.5 mm
connectors but is more delicate. For operation to 26.5 GHz,
the 84904/6/7K models offer the 3.5 mm connector. This
connector is compatible with SMA and 2.92 connectors, but
is more rugged. Each model in the 84904/6/7K and L family
comes with two female connectors (standard) or may be
ordered with one female and one male connector for easy
insertion into a microwave chain or to combine the 1 dB
step 84904 with a 10 dB step 84906 or 84907 to cover
an attenuation range of 121 dB or 81 dB in 1 dB steps.
The 84906K Keysight Programmable Step Attenuator may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Programmable step attenuator providing precise signal level control from DC to 26.5 GHz with 0-90 dB attenuation range in 10 dB increments. Features electronic control via 24 VDC supply enabling automated test setups and remote operation. Utilizes 3.5mm female connectors for compatibility with microwave test systems.
Platforms
A programmable electromechanical step attenuator providing calibrated signal level control from 0 to 90 dB in 10 dB increments over a DC to 26.5 GHz frequency range. It operates within RF/microwave test systems, requiring a 24 VDC supply for solenoid switching. The device integrates into the signal path via dual 3.5mm female RF connectors and is controlled through a dedicated logic interface.
Applications
Attenuation of RF signals across a DC to 26.5 GHz frequency range, adjustable in 10 dB steps from 0 to 90 dB. Hardware platform consists of an internal electromechanical switch network controlled via a 24 VDC supply. RF input and output use 3.5 mm female connectors, interfacing with other RF equipment.
