The Keysight Z5623A-H83 is a dual directional pulse test set engineered for high-volume characterization of multiport devices under test (DUTs) in the 2 GHz to 20 GHz band. This test set enables pulse measurements of forward and reverse parameters across multiport configurations, reducing setup time and operator fatigue through single-connection-per-port architecture. The mechanical switching design simplifies access to all transmission paths and reflection characteristics while minimizing connector wear and the risk of port misconnection.
