Definitions

•Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty

(temperature –0 to 50 °C, unless otherwise noted.)

•Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the

product warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with a

95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not

include measurement uncertainty.

•Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is

useful in the application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.

•Characteristic Performance describes performance parameter that the product is expected to

meet before it leaves the factory, but is not verified in the field and is not covered by the

product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guard bands as a specification.

U3047AE04 Description

Description

The Keysight U3047AE04 is a Multiport Test Set extension designed for use with the

N5247A 4-Port PNA-X (10 MHz to 70 GHz) to provide a full 8-Port measurement solution.

The U3047AE04 has the following key features:

•4 Test Ports (1.85 mm male connectors)

•Solid-State switching

•10 MHz to 70 GHz frequency range of operation

•Keysight PNA compatibility with rear panel Test Set I/O interface for operational control. An

external personal computer is not required. The N5247A Option 400 and 551 are required.

•A standard Keysight System II instrument cabinet (4EIA high by 497.8 mm deep).

The N5247A PNA-X will be referred to throughout this document as the

PNA-X. The U3047AE04 will be referred to as the Test Set.

Network Analyzer Requirements

All network analyzers require Option 551 for multiport operation (N-Port error correction

and measurement capability). Table 1 below provides a listing of other network analyzer

option requirements. The analyzer's frequency range must be equal to or exceed that of the

test set so that the measurement system covers the full frequency range of the test set.

The test set files indicated in Table 1 must be installed into the analyzer's file directory:

c:\Program Files\Agilent\Network Analyzer\testsets

Verifying the Shipment

To verify the contents shipped with your product, refer to the “Box Content List” included with

the shipment.

Inspect the shipping container. If the container or packing material is damaged, it should be

kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked mechanically and electrically. If there

is physical damage refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 74. Keep the damaged shipping

materials (if any) for inspection by the carrier and an Keysight Technologies representative.
