The Agilent/Keysight U3024AH10 is a 10-port mechanical switch test set designed to extend network analyzer port count for high-power measurement configurations. Operating from 10 MHz to 40 GHz, this test set integrates directly with compatible network analyzers to enable expanded multi-port testing without requiring external control computers.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range:
• 10 MHz to 40 GHz
Port Configuration:
• 10-port mechanical switch test set
• Expandable architecture supports 12, 14, or 24-port configurations when combined with compatible analyzers
Switching Technology:
• Mechanical switches with low insertion loss for extended dynamic range
• Trade-off between insertion loss performance and slower switching speeds versus solid-state alternatives
Control Interface:
• Operates via network analyzer Test Set I/O interface; standalone control computer not required
– Key Features
• Low insertion loss mechanical switching optimizes measurement dynamic range across the 10 MHz to 40 GHz band
• Scalable port expansion—stack with 4-port PNA-X analyzers to achieve 24-port measurement capability
• Native integration with analyzer control software eliminates external control complexity
– Typical Applications
• Multi-port device characterization requiring high-power measurement capability
• Component and sub-assembly testing in 12, 14, or 24-port configurations
• High-frequency RF and microwave network analysis
– Compatibility & Integration
The U3024AH10 integrates with:
• Keysight N5244A Network Analyzer
• Keysight N5245A Network Analyzer
• PNA-X Network Analyzer (requires Option 551 for N-port calibration and full cross-bar measurement capability)
When paired with a 4-port PNA-X analyzer, stacking enables expansion to 24 total ports.
