Agilent / HP 85046B

The 85046B is a 75-ohm version that covers the frequency range of 300 kHz to 2 GHz.

Solid-state test port switches are standard for the Agilent 85046B S-Parameter Test Sets. This new test set improves the speed, accuracy and ease of RF component measurements with the 8753.

With the 8753 Network Analyzer, the 85046B test set comprises a complete system for measuring the magnitude, phase and group delay response of RF components in the 300 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range.

The 85046B test sets provide faster, more accurate measurements by continuously updating all four S-Parameters when a full two-port error correction is used.

Measurement speed is improved by 160 milliseconds each time the trace is updated for sweeps with 101 points or more.

Solid-state switching allows the selection of any two S-Parameters, both continuously updated, on the display. Mechanical version of the 85046B test set will update either forward or reverse parameters continuously but not a combination of both.

It is no longer necessary to press MEASURE RESTART when using a full two-port error correction as all four S-Parameters are being continuously measured using the 85046B.

The 85046B can be controlled from the analyzer and includes programmable step attenuators.

The test set can be used with the Agilent 8753A/B/C, 8753D/E/ES Option 011, 4395, 4396 and also selected 8702 lightwave component analyzer configurations.
