U3022AE10

Description

The U3022AE10 is a Multiport Test Set designed to be configured with a 2 or 4-Port

PNA, PNA-L or PNA-X for a 12 or 14-Port network analyzer measurement system.

• 10 test ports (3.5 mm male connectors)

•Low Loss Mechanical RF switching

• Frequency Range of Operation:

— 300 kHz - 20 GHz (Standard Opt 700)

— 10 MHz - 20 GHz (Opt 001 or 002)

— 300 kHz - 26.5 GHz (Opt 026)

— Test Set I/O interface for operational control. An external personal computer

is not required.

Verifying the Shipment

To verify the contents shipped with your product, refer to the “Box Content List”

included with the shipment.

Inspect the shipping container. If the container or packing material is damaged, it

should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked mechanically

and electrically. If there is physical damage refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 94.

Keep the damaged shipping materials (if any) for inspection by the carrier and a

Keysight Technologies representative.

The network analyzers will be referred to throughout this document as the PNA,

PNA-L or PNA-X. Analyzer will be used for general information that pertains to all

of the network analyzers. The U3022AE10 will be referred to as the test set.

The "B" Model analyzers have the darker Keysight color format. The Test Set color

format has changed to match this Keysight color.

Measurement Application Note

Low Loss DUT Measurements

Low loss trace ripple is a product of RF switch repeatability and calibration technique. Low insertion loss

measurements may exhibit uncertainty ripple residing on the measurement response. Due to a different

number of RF switches in each test port signal path, the maximum cumulative switch repeatability you may

experience for a system test port is indicated in Table 1 below.

Test Port 300 KHz - 26.5 GHz

1 - 12 0.06

Table 1 Test Port Repeatability Maximums (dB)

Switch Configuration Command Speed

When writing address and data values to the test set directly, include a 15 ms wait before issuing

another address and data set. The delay of 15 ms is required for the test set internal switches to settle.

Failure to add the delay could cause the test set internal switches to stick or cause intermittent failures.
