2 11590B Operating and Service Manual

Description

The 11590B bias network provides a means of supplying dc bias to the center conductor of a coaxial line and

thus to a biasable component or device (such as a transistor), while blocking the dc bias from the input RF

circuit.

A schematic diagram of the 11590B is shown is Figure 1. The capacitor in the RF input arm acts as a dc

block/high pass filter. The vertical arms are identical and act as bias/bias sense arms. Because the

BIAS/BIAS SENSING port draws no current (it is connected to a high impedance voltmeter), the voltage

measured is identical to the voltage at the RF and Bias Output. To double the maximum current handling

capability, both BIAS/BIAS SENSING ports may be used for bias input.

A vertical arm is comprised of a series inductance and shunt capacitance which act together as a low pass

filter. The ferrite beads and R-C filter decouple the power supply from the RF section and help to reduce the

possibility of inductance related oscillation.

Installation

Initial Inspection

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it

should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument

has been checked mechanically and electrically. Procedures for checking electrical performance are given

under “PERFORMANCE TESTS”. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or

if the 11509B bias network does not pass the Performance Tests, notify Keysight Technologies –

see“Contacting Keysight” on page 8. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning material shows

signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as Keysight. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection.

The Keysight office will arrange for repair or replacement at Keysight’s option without waiting for claim

settlement.

Preparation For Use

Interconnections The 11590B bias network is connected in line with the device to be biased. The bias is

applied through either BIAS/BIAS SENSING port, and is sensed through the other BIAS/BIAS SENSING

port.

Mating Connectors The mating connectors for Type-N connectors are the opposite gender Type-N

connectors. Precision 7 mm connectors (Option 001) are genderless.

4 11590B Operating and Service Manual

Operating Environment

The instrument may be operated in environments within the following limits:

The instrument should be protected from temperature and humidity conditions which cause condensation

within the instrument.

Storage and Shipment

The instrument may be stored in environments within the following limits:

The instrument should be protected from temperature and humidity conditions which cause condensation

within the instrument.

Packaging

Tagging for Service If the instrument is being returned to Keysight for service, attach a tag indicating the

type of service required, return address, and model number. See“Contacting Keysight” on page 8.

Original Packaging Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available

through Keysight offices. Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.

Other Packaging The following general instructions should be used for re-packing with commercially

available materials:

1. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic (If shipping to a Keysight office or service center, attach a

tag as explained previously).

2. Use a strong shipping container.

3. Use a thick layer of shock absorbing material 70 to 100 mm (3 to 4 inches) thick around all sides of the

instrument to provide firm cushioning and prevent movement inside the container.

4. Seal the shipping container securely.

5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.

6. In any correspondence, refer to the instrument by model number and full serial number.

Operation

Operating Instructions

Figure 2 shows the Keysight 11590B bias network connected in a typical measurement setup. Many other

applications are possible but not shown because the general method of setup and operation is the same.

The 11590B contains an in-line filter which will help prevent inductance related oscillations. However, to

eliminate the possibility of oscillation with bipolar transistors, it is recommended that the 11635A bias

decoupling network be used with the 11590B.

Figure 2 Typical Measurement Setup

Performance Tests

The procedures in this section tests the electrical performance of the 11590B using the specifications of

Ta b l e 1 as performance standards.

Test Record

Results of the performance tests may be tabulated on the Test Record at the end of the procedures.

Performance may be verified using either a vector or scalar network analyzer setup. Errors due to directivity,

source match, and return loss of the “opposite port” termination (and detector match in a scalar system) will

add uncertainties to your measurement. The most accurate method uses an error corrected instrument.

However, a scalar system will give acceptable results depending on the quality of the components.

The following general instructions apply to both vector and scalar network analyzers.

Return Loss Of Input and Output Ports (Port Match)

1. Connect the equipment for a standard reflection measurement.

2. Calibrate the system with the appropriate standards.

3. Connect the appropriate instrument port of the 11590B to the test port. Terminate the opposite port of

the 11590B with a 50 ohm load.

6 11590B Operating and Service Manual

NOTE The Return Loss of the load should be at least 20 dB better than the desired measurement

value.

4. Measure the port match. The specifications are as follows:

Insertion Loss

1. Connect the equipment for a standard insertion loss measurement.

2. Calibrate the system with a through line.

3. Replace the through line with the 11590B.

4. Measure the insertion loss. The specifications are as follows:
