The Advantest R3961BN is an S-parameter test set accessory engineered for use with the Advantest R3762AH network analyzer. It extends network analyzer capabilities to measure transmission and reflection characteristics across all four primary S-parameters (S11, S12, S21, S22) without requiring device under test disconnection. The R3961BN integrates an SWR bridge, power splitter, and coaxial switches into a single desktop unit, enabling efficient RF and microwave component characterization across the 300 kHz to 2 GHz frequency band.
