Characterizing a Duplexer (ES Analyzers Only)
This measurement example demonstrates how to characterize a 3-port device, in this case
a duplexer, using four-parameter display mode. You must use a test adapter or a special
3-port test adapter to route the signals from the analyzer (a two-port instrument) to the
duplexer (a three-port device). This example procedure is performed using one of the
following test adapters:
8720D Option K36 Duplexer Switching Test Set
8720D Option K39 3-Port Switching Test Set
Definitions
The following abbreviations are used in reference to a duplexer:
Tx
Transmitter port
Ant
Antenna port
Rx
Receiver port
Procedure
1. Press

Preset
2. Connect the test adapter to the analyzer according to the instructions for your
particular model. Connect any test fixture or cables to the duplexer test adapter. Refer
