Agilent Technologies, Inc., Palo Alto, Calif., a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company, has introduced the Agilent 87050E multiport test sets, which can dramatically improve throughput and accuracy when evaluating the performance of 50-ohm RF components on high- volume production lines.
The new test sets are designed to work with the Agilent 8712E series network analyzers, and together the products offer a complete solution up to 3GHz for measuring devices with up to 12 ports.
Full Device Characterization with a Single Connection
The multiport test system allows all transmission paths and port reflection characteristics of a multiport device to be completely characterized with only a single set of connections to a device's ports. The system can reduce typical test times substantially by eliminating the need to constantly connect and reconnect components.
The multiport test system is the only low-cost multiport test system with fully specified performance at the actual test ports, whether the device is measured in a fixture or at the ends of test cables. Fully specified performance allows manufacturers...
