Chapter 4 Features and Functions

HP 34905A/6A Dual 4-Channel RF MultiplexersHP 34905A/6A Dual 4-Channel RF MultiplexersThese modules consist of two independent 4-to-1 multiplexers.

The channels in each bank are organized in a “tree” structure to provide high isolation and low VSWR. Both banks have a common earth ground. This module does not connect to the internal DMM. You can connect your signals directly to the on-board SMB connectors or to the SMB-to-BNC cables provided with the module.

NOTES:

The HP 34905A is used for 50Ω applications. The HP 34906A is used for 75Ω applications.

You can close only one channel per bank at a time on these modules; closing one channel in a bank will open the previously closed channel. One channel in each bank is always connected to COM.

This module responds only to the CLOSE command (OPEN does not apply). To OPEN a channel, send the CLOSE command to another channel in the same bank.
