The Advantest R3967 is a six-port test adapter that extends the multi-port measurement capabilities of compatible Advantest network analyzers, particularly the R3767 series. It enables simultaneous characterization of S-parameters across multiple devices and ports, eliminating the need for repeated physical reconfiguration during test cycles. The adapter supports independent measurement paths and allows simultaneous display of up to eight parameters across four paths, making it ideal for complex RF component evaluation including duplexers and similar multi-port devices.
Technical Specifications
• Port Configuration: Six ports configured for simultaneous measurement of two sets of duplexer devices

• Calibration: Supports 2-port full calibration with saved calibration data and measurement conditions
• Measurement Speed: 0.15 ms per point (R3767CG series post 2-port full calibration)
• Physical Requirements: Horizontal mounting orientation with minimum 10 centimeter clearance for ventilation
– Key Features
• Eliminates device reconnection between test cycles
• Integrates with Advantest R3767 series network analyzers
• Supports transmission and reflection characterization simultaneously
• Advanced calibration storage functionality
• Multi-path independent measurement architecture
– Typical Applications
• Duplexer and multi-port RF component evaluation
• High-throughput device characterization
• Complex component transmission and reflection analysis
• Accelerated test environments requiring reduced cycle time
– Compatibility & Integration
The R3967 connects directly to compatible Advantest network analyzers including R3767CG and R3767G models. The adapter inherits the frequency performance and signal processing capabilities of the host analyzer, enabling rapid multi-port measurement sequences without reconfiguration.
