The Keysight U3045AM08 is an 8-port mechanical test set operating to 50 GHz, designed to expand 4-port PNA and PNA-X network analyzers into 12-port full crossbar measurement systems. Low-loss mechanical RF switching delivers excellent measurement accuracy, dynamic range, and calibration stability across the 10 MHz to 50 GHz band. The test set connects via 2.4 mm bulkhead male connectors on ports 5–12 and 1.85 mm female connectors for receiver, coupler arm, and coupler through access. Front-panel LEDs indicate active connection and port status (Source/Receiver). Integrated with a compatible network analyzer, the U3045AM08 requires only analyzer control—no external PC required. N-port calibration capability is supported with Option 551. The unit dissipates a maximum of 350 W and weighs approximately 50 lbs.
