Instrument Description
Overview
Overview
The Agilent Z5623A Option H48 Multiport Test Set is designed for use
with 50 Network Analyzers such as the Agilent PNA Series (Models
E8356A, E8357A, and E8358A). Figure 1-1 shows a typical equipment
setup.
The test set reduces the time required to test multiport devices having
up to eight ports (distribution amplifiers, taps, switches, couplers, etc.).
It does this by reducing the number of device reconnects the operator
must perform. The test set can connect each of its test ports to any of
the following:
Reflection Port
Transmission Port
50 termination internal to the test set.
Switching is performed with mechanical switches.
The test set is controlled by means of its GPIB interface. The control
can be performed either by a PNA Series network analyzer or by an
external computer.
NOTE
This User's and Service Guide documents the use of the test set with an
Agilent E8358A network analyzer.
