The test ports serve as outputs for the RF stimulus signal and as inputs for the mea-
sured RF signals from the DUT (response signals).
●
With a single test port, it is possible to generate a stimulus signal and measure the
response signal in reflection. For a measurement example, refer to
"Reflection S-parameter measurement"
●
With more than one test port, it is possible to perform full two-port, 3-port, ... , or n-
port measurements; see
In the standard R&S
ZNB configuration, all test ports are supplied by a common
source. Four-port instruments are available with an optional second source. For the
R&S
ZNBT, an internal second source is automatically added if the instrument is
equipped with 12 ports or more.
●
Use a torque wrench when screwing RF cables on the test port connectors.
