U3050BH11 Introduction Introduction This document describes how to use and service the U3050BH11 Amplifier Combiner Test Set for with the Keysight N5245A PNA-X. Figure 1 Front Panel N5245A with U3050BH11 Definitions • Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty (temperature of 0 to 40 °C, unless otherwise noted.)
Description Description The Keysight U3050BH11 Test Set uses two amplifiers for increased power and a coupler to combine power from the N5245A Ports 1 and 3 for high power applications. Five bulkhead access connectors allow for custom configurations and minimizes connections to the PNA-X.
The mains plug shall be inserted only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose the user to dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources while it is being opened. Figure 10 U3050BH11 Front Panel Connections label part number from Table Keysight U3050BH11 User's and Service Guide...
The Test Set will amplify and combine Source Out Port 1 and Port 3 signals and route the signal to the U3050BH11 Port 1. The Port 1 Reference Mixer Switch must be set to “External” for the RCVR R1 IN to function.
Only a functional certificate is provided for the Test Set. It is recommended that you return your instrument to Keysight Technologies for servicing or repair if the Test Set and PNA-X performance exceed the operational verification limits.
