The Advantest R3965B is a 3-port test set that extends the measurement capability of compatible network analyzers for multi-port device characterization. This accessory enables S-parameter measurement in three directions without re-cabling, eliminating the need to physically reposition test devices between measurements. The horizontal-mount design incorporates an internal cooling fan and is purpose-built for seamless integration with Advantest R3765AH and R3767AH network analyzers.
Technical Specifications
• Product Type: 3-port test set
• Port Configuration: Three-port architecture for simultaneous access to device terminals
• Measurement Capability: Transmission and reflection characteristics; S-parameter measurement across three directions without reconfiguration
• Cooling: Internal cooling fan with unobstructed air vent requirement
• Operating Orientation: Horizontal configuration
– Key Features
• Eliminates re-cabling requirements between multi-port measurements
• Reduces test setup time by maintaining fixed device connections
• Internal active cooling maintains thermal stability during extended operation
• Designed for stable horizontal operation on standard laboratory benches
– Environmental Requirements
Operation demands isolation from mechanical shock and vibration. The instrument requires a clean, dry environment free from airborne contaminants and magnetic fields. Protect against rapid temperature fluctuations. During storage and transportation, ensure stability and prevent mechanical impact. Ventilation openings must remain unobstructed at all times.
– Compatibility & Integration
The R3965B interfaces directly with Advantest R3765AH and R3767AH network analyzers, extending their RF and microwave testing scope to three-port devices. No additional adapters or configuration changes are required for compatible instruments. Read the operation manual before initial use to ensure proper setup and safe operation. Use only the specified power cable rated for your supply voltage and conforming to national electrical safety standards. Ground protection is mandatory.
