Keysight 8710x Low PIM Coxial Multiport Switches Operating and Service Manual Introduction General Information Key Features This chapter provides you the overview of Keysight 8710x low PIM coaxial multiport switches.
Introduction General Information Keysight 87104P/Q/R SP4T and 87106P/Q/R SP6T terminated switches provide the life and reliability required for automated test and measurement and signal monitoring and routing applications. These switches can be used in various applications as they are available in multiple frequency ranges, up to 26.5 GHz.
– Guaranteed repeatability of 0.03 dB up to 3 million cycles, ensuring accurate system measurements and reducing calibration intervals – Excellent isolation, typically > 90 dB at 26.5 GHz – PIM level (typical) of –165 dBc – Opto-electronic indicators and interrupts – Terminated ports Keysight 8710x Operating and Service Manual...
