PD1000A Specifications Figure 2 shows the PD1000A Bias T Networks connected in a typical measurement setup. Other applications are possible; the general method of setup and operation is the same. Figure 2 Typical (simplified) Measurement Setup When an RF cable more than 50 cm (19.6 in.) in length is used, a 50 Ω, 1 dB attenuator should be inserted at the RF Input...
Use with PD1000A Power Device Measurement System Use with PD1000A Power Device Measurement System Keysight’s PD1000A Bias T networks are designed to be used with the PD1000A Power Device Measurement System to provide high current bias for semiconductor devices. Specifically they are designed for use with the PD1000A Test Fixtures.

B2902A Source Measure Unit (SMU). Channel 1 on the SMU (front panel) connects to the PD1000A Bias T for the RF input (Gate) to the device under test (DUT). Channel 2 on the SMU (rear panel) connects to the PD1000A Bias T for the RF output (drain or collector) of the DUT.
General Test Setup General Test Setup Figure 6 below shows the general test setup for the three PD1000A Test Fixtures (the Surface Mount Device (SMD) fixture is shown in the photo). Note the two PD1000A Bias T networks attached to the test fixture, the E5080A ENA Network Analyzer behind the test fixture, and the B2902A Precision SMU (on top of the E2080A ENA) providing bias voltage to the two Bias T networks.
1 Connect the equipment for a standard reflection measurement. 2 Calibrate the system with an open and a short. 3 Connect the appropriate RF port of the PD1000A Bias T Network to the test port. Terminate the opposite port with a 50 Ω load.

Very light finger pressure is enough to accomplish this. 7 Make sure the connectors are properly supported. Relieve any side pressure on the connection from long or heavy devices or cables. 8 Torque the connection according to the procedures described below.

Prevent the rotation of anything other than the connector nut that you are tightening. Use a Keysight 8710-1582, 0.56N-m (5 lb-in) 5/16 inch break-over torque wrench to make a final connection. A Torque wrench is supplied as part of the PD1000A-SPK Accessory Kit.
2 Use another open-end wrench or the torque wrench to loosen the connector nut. 3 Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut. 4 Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting, rocking, or bending. Keysight PD1000A Power Device Measurement System...
– Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free swab. Clean the connector threads. Let the alcohol evaporate, then blow the threads dry with a gentle stream of clean, low-pressure compressed air or nitrogen. Always completely dry a connector before you reassemble or use it.
