DC to 18 GHz

Description

Agilent Technologies’ 909F family

of precision low reflection loads are

intended for use as calibration

standards.

Tantalum nitride on sapphire thin-

film technology is used for excep-

tional long-term impedance stabil-

ity. To ensure the best possible wear

resistance characteristics, gold-plated

beryllium copper has been used for

the connector contacts.

Specifications

Specifications describe the instruments’ warranted per-

formance over the +15° to +35° C temperature range.

Supplemental characteristics as denoted by “typical”,

“nominal”, or “approximate” are provided as informa-

tion useful in applying the instrument, but are non-war-

ranted performance parameters.
