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:
