Setting Port Coupling (Option 3L5/3L4/3L3 only)

In Option 3L5/3L4/3L3, Port 1 and 2 can be selectively AC or DC coupled. DC coupling (Default setting) allows both DC and AC signals through, while AC coupling accepts only AC signal. In DC coupling, the port 1 and 2 has 50 Ω input impedance. In AC coupling, a blocking capacitor is inserted at the ports 1 and 2. It may cause the signal level difference between AC and DC coupling at lower frequency.

  1. Press System > S-Param Port Couple, then select AC or DC.

When the port coupling is set at AC, there are limitations as follows:
