Introduction to the Multiport Test Set

Improve Your Competitiveness with a Fully Specified Test System

A multiport test set coupled with an E5061A/E5062A network analyzer offers fully specified performance at the actual test ports, whether you measure in a fixture or at the end of test cables. Specified performance means you can:

•get the same results no matter which test station you use to measure your DUT

•correlate test data from many DUTs across multiple test systems

•reduce measurement uncertainty to tighten your product specifications

•increase customer confidence in your products

Eliminate Redundant Connection of Calibration Standards with Test Set Cal

Calibrating a multiport test set using two-port error correction and a traditional network analyzer requires a unique instrument state for each measurement path, forcing many redundant connections of calibration standards. As the number of ports increases, so does the number of connections required to calibrate all possible measurement paths. Full calibration of the multiport test system is quick and simple when performing a Test Set Cal:

•connect short, open, and load standards only once to each measurement port

•minimize the number of through standards required during calibration
