Agilent/Keysight N2276A

The Keysight N2276A is a 3-slot microwave multiplexer module engineered for high-performance signal switching across DC to 26.5 GHz. Configured as dual 1×6 or dual 1×4 multiplexers, it delivers insertion loss below 0.36 dB with exceptional isolation exceeding 100 dB at 12 GHz. The module maintains VSWR below 1.20 and offers repeatability better than 0.03 dB over 5 million switching cycles. Built for demanding RF test environments, the N2276A integrates into Keysight 3499A/C mainframes and controls external microwave attenuators, making it ideal for cellular, wireless, and RFIC characterization.
