Keysight X/P/K281C Adapters Operating and Service Manual Introduction Product Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Keysight X/P/K281C Adapters.
Introduction Product Overview The X281C, P281C, and K281C adapters provide a convenient means of coupling between waveguide and coaxial systems. Power can be transmitted in either direction, and each adapter covers the full frequency range of its waveguide size. A step- like internal structure transforms the waveguide impedance to the 50 ? impedance of the coaxial line.
Option 012 for the K281C offers a 3.5 mm (m) connector to replace the standard 3.5 mm (f) connector. Option 013 Option 013 for the X281C offers a Type- N (f) connector to replace the standard 7- mm connector. Option 013 is not offered for the K281C and the P281C. Option 106 Option 106 is only available for the K281C.
The last five digits form the sequential suffix that is unique to each adapter. The contents of this manual apply to adapters prefixed at 3032A and above. Keysight X/P/K281C Operating and Service Manual...
