HP 85047A S-parameter test set
The HP 85047A S-parameter test set provides the
capability to simultaneously measure the reflection
and transmission characteristics of two-port devices in
either direction with a single connection. This test set
includes a frequency doubler that can be switched in
by an HP 8753B/C Option 006 to measure 3 MHz to 6
GHz in a single sweep or switched out to measure 300
kHz to 3 GHz in a single sweep. The HP 8753ES
Option 011 does not use the frequency doubler, so the
full 300 kHz to 6 GHz range is available. This test set
exhibits <5 dB insertion loss between the RF input and
the test ports for as high as 15 dBm at the test port,
and also includes a programmable step attenuator.
There are two rear panel BNC outputs. One provides a
TTL signal which indicates the result of a limit test.
The second TTL output is controlled from the
HP 8753ES test sequence function.

A standard HP 85047A test set contains a solid-state
transfer switch, which allows continuous switching of
power from port 1 to port 2 for full two-port error cor-
rection. Option 009 replaces the transfer switch with a
mechanical switch. This provides about 2.5 to 3.5 dB
more power at the test port, but does not allow contin-
uous switching, so the user must initiate updates of all
four S-parameters for full two-port error correction.
Also, the mechanical switch has relays that will wear
out faster than the solid-state switch. Approximate
lifetime of the mechanical switch is 1 million cycles.
