Instrument Description Overview Overview The Agilent Z5623A Option H48 Multiport Test Set is designed for use with 50 Ω Network Analyzers such as the Agilent PNA Series (Models E8356A, E8357A, and E8358A). Figure 1-1 shows a typical equipment setup. The test set reduces the time required to test multiport devices having up to eight ports (distribution amplifiers, taps, switches, couplers, etc.). It does this by reducing the number of device reconnects the operator must perform. The test se
