Agilent/Keysight U3047AM08

The Keysight U3047AM08 is an 8-port mechanical test set that extends the measurement capabilities of 4-port network analyzers. When combined with a Keysight PNA or PNA-X series analyzer, it enables complete 12-port full crossbar measurements and supports N-Port calibration. This multiport architecture allows characterization of complex devices and systems where traditional 4-port analysis proves insufficient.

The unit operates across a frequency range of 10 MHz to 67 GHz, making it suitable for applications spanning microwave through millimeter-wave bands. Its mechanical switching architecture and high-quality connectors deliver repeatability across multiple measurement cycles, essential for production test and research environments.
