The Agilent/Keysight 87512A is a transmission/reflection test set accessory engineered to extend the measurement capabilities of Agilent network analyzers across DC to 2 GHz. It characterizes reflection and transmission parameters of RF and microwave components with 50 Ω impedance matching, delivering the precision data required for filter, amplifier, and cable evaluation. The test set features Type N(f) connectors and includes precision short/load termination for calibration, enabling single-direction characterization of passive and active devices.
