11612A Bias Network
-
General Information
The 11612A bias network provides a means of supplying dc bias to the center
conductor of a coaxial line of a component or device while blocking the
dc
bias to the RF input port.
This manual contains information required to install, operate, and test the
11612A bias network.
Option 001
In addition to the capabilities of the standard bias network, the 11612A option
001 high current bias network can achieve higher bias levels above 0.4 GHz.
These bias levels are useful in applications such as transistor testing.
Bias Networks Covered by Manual
Each bias network has a five digit serial number. The contents of this manual
apply to bias networks having a serial number equal to or higher than the serial
number listed on the title page of this manual.
Incoming Inspection
If the bias network or its case appear to be damaged, set aside the device and
all packaging materials and contact Keysight. Refer to “Contacting Keysight”
on page 11 .
Preparation For Use
Interconnections
The 11612A bias network is connected in line with the device to be biased. The
bias is applied through the SMB snap-on connector. Refer to Figure 3 on
page 6 . A BNC to SM
B
adapter cable (part number 5062-4550) is also
included in the 11612A bias network assembly.
Operating Environment
Operate the bias network within the following limits:
