It is critical that you properly set the power levels before connecting the bias network to the power supply. Failure to do so may result in irreparable damage to the bias coil. Bias coils damaged by overheating are not covered under warranty. 11612A Operating and Service Manual...
The electrical performance of the bias network is independent of its pin depth within the range stated above. b. 3.5 mm connectors mate with SMA connectors. 11612A Option 001 Supplemental Characteristics 0.000 to 0.127 mm (0.0000 to 0.0050 inches) Pin Depth...
The circuit is a “tee” in which the capacitor in the left arm acts as a DC block/high pass filter. The vertical arm, with its series inductance and shunt capacitance, acts as a low pass filter. Figure 2 Bias Network Schematic Diagram 11612A Operating and Service Manual...
