The Agilent Z5623A Option H08 Multiport Test Set is designed for use
with 50 Ohm Network Analyzers such as the Agilent PNA Series (Models
E8356A, E8357A, and E8358A).
The Z5623A Option H08 is an external eight port test set with mechanical
switching. Option H08 is valuable in manufacturing environments where the
time for setup is significantly greater than the test time. This test set can be
used to increase the efficiency of a test station by multiplexing one network
analyzer between two test setups.
For example, two duplexer fixtures may be connected to the test set. While
unloading and loading one fixture, the PNA Series analyzer can measure a
device that is in the other fixture. This technique works well when part-handling
or connection time is similar to measurement time. It is possible to effectively
double the overall throughput and efficiency of the network analyzer.
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:
- the Reflection Port
- the Transmission Port
- a 50 Ohm 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.
