The Agilent/Keysight 11567A is a 50-ohm test fixture engineered for reliable, repeatable connections to surface mount devices (SMDs) during RF and microwave characterization. The fixture minimizes parasitic effects and maintains optimal contact integrity across its operating range, enabling accurate impedance-matched measurements without signal degradation.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: DC to 18 GHz
• Characteristic Impedance: 50 ohms
• Reflection Coefficient: 0.018 + 0.001 × (frequency in GHz)
• Connector Type: APC-7
• Length: 20.25 cm (7.97 inches)
• Weight: 0.45 kg (0.99 lbs) net
– Key Features
Low reflection coefficient across the full frequency spectrum ensures minimal signal loss and accurate S-parameter measurements. The APC-7 connector interface provides precision mechanical and electrical repeatability required for production test and characterization workflows. Compact dimensions and light weight support integration into multi-port test systems and automated test equipment (ATE) platforms.
– Typical Applications
• Surface mount component characterization and validation
• RF and microwave device testing requiring precise impedance matching
• S-parameter and network analysis measurements from DC to 18 GHz
• Production test fixtures for SMD-based assemblies
• Broadband impedance-controlled test configurations
– Compatibility & Integration
APC-7 connector compatibility enables direct integration with network analyzers, microwave sources, and test instruments equipped with standard APC-7 ports. The fixture accommodates both single-ended and differential SMD test configurations within its specified impedance and frequency envelope.
