The Picotest J2160A probe adapter provides a low noise, compact solution for using the E5061B's T/R ports in a 2-port shunt-through measurement. The T/R ports are desirable for low frequency 2-port measurements because these ports are semi-floating, allowing low impedance measurements without the use of a coaxial common mode converter such as the J2102A. The floating ports allow milliohm measurements even at very low frequencies and into the 30MHz range of the T/R ports.
The current solution uses a 6dB resistive port splitter in combination with coaxial cables to support this measurement. The J2160A is a slim profile adapter that converts the E5061B's three BNC ports into two BNC ports for 2-port measurement. The 6dB resistance splitter for the ports is built into the adapter, so no external splitters or cables are required. The short connections are cleaner, use less space on the test bench, and can result in a lower noise measurement.
The adapter can also be combined with ultra-wide bandwidth DC blockers, such as the Picotest P2130A. This allows you to make 2-port measurements of sensitive devices without the 50 ohm DC port loading, which could overload the device under test and/or severely distort the measurement results.
The J2160A adapter also supports advanced 2-port shunt-thru measurement, which enables 2-port measurements of higher impedance, such as op-amps and voltage references, by adding a series resistor to each port.
