PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers General Product Information
E8361A Maintenance
Maintenance
WARNING To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the analyzer from the mains
source before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened
with water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean
internally.
Physical Maintenance
Clean the cabinet, including the front panel, using a dry or slightly damp cloth only.
Electrical Maintenance
Refer to “Contacting Agilent” on page 2-9 and to Chapter 3, “Tests and Adjustments.”
Analyzer Options, Upgrades, and Accessories
Option 010, Time Domain
An Option 010 analyzer can display the time domain response of a network or test device
by calculating the inverse Fourier transform of the frequency domain response. This
calculation allows the Option 010 analyzer to show the response of a test device as a
function of time or distance. In time domain, the magnitude and location of a discontinuity
and the characteristics of individual transmission paths of a network or test device can be
determined. Time domain operation retains all the accuracy of active error correction.
This option is also available as an upgrade kit, model number: E8361AU-010.
Option 014, Configurable Test Set
An Option 014 analyzer can be configured to measure high-power devices and devices for
high dynamic range.
For a high-power measurement, external amplifiers and high power attenuators or
isolators can be added to complete the test setup. Test port output power up to 1 Watt
(+30 dBm) can be applied to the device under test (DUT). Additionally, there is an external
reference input that allows the external amplifier’s frequency response and drift to be
ratioed out.
For high dynamic range measurements, front panel jumpers are moved to reverse the
signal path through one of the couplers, allowing for a 15 dB improvement in transmitted
signal sensitivity in one direction only. Jumpers are installed on both ports allowing the
user to choose a measurement in either the forward or reverse direction.
This option is also available as an upgrade kit, model number: E8361AU-014.
