The Keysight U3047AM12 is a 70 GHz, 12-port mechanical switching extension test set that expands the measurement capabilities of 4-port PNA and PNA-X network analyzers. It enables 16-port full crossbar measurements and supports N-Port calibration, making it suitable for characterizing complex RF and microwave devices. The test set integrates with compatible Keysight network analyzers through a dedicated Test Set I/O interface and requires specific interface kits for connection.
