HP / Agilent 35676B REFLECTION/TRANSMISSION TEST KIT

The HP/Agilent 35676B is a 75 Ohm reflection/transmission test kit engineered for precise S-parameter characterization on HP 3577A and 3577B network analyzers. This test set enables calibrated complex reflection and transmission measurements across 5 Hz to 200 MHz, supporting both single-trace and dual-trace concurrent calibration routines. The 35676B integrates 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm components to interface with the 50 Ohm 3577A analyzer while presenting 75 Ohm test ports to the device under test.
