Agilent 85047A S-Parameter Test Set

The 85047A S-parameter test set provides the capability to simultaneously measure the reflec- tion and transmission characteristics of two-port devices in either direction with a single connec- tion. This test set includes a frequency doubler that can be switched in by an 8753B/C Option 006 to measure 3 MHz to 6 GHz in a single sweep or switched out to measure 300 kHz to 3 GHz in

a single sweep. The 8753ES Option 011 does not use the frequency doubler, so the full 300 kHz to 6 GHz range is available. This test set exhibits

<5 dB insertion loss between the RF input and the test ports for as high as 15 dBm at the test port, and also includes a programmable step attenuator. There are two rear panel BNC outputs. One pro- vides a TTL signal which indicates the result of

a limit test. The second TTL output is controlled from the 8753ES test sequence function.
