You will also need:
• An Agilent signal generator that supports LAN connectivity.
Examples of suitable signal generators are the ESG-C, the PSG-C,
and the PSG-D, but not the PSG-A. The PSG-A signal generator is
not supported.
NOTE The ESG-C signal generator requires version C.03.72 or later of the
firmware.
The PSG-C signal generator requires version C.03.76 or later of the
firmware.
The PSA-D signal generator requires version C.04.03 or later of the
firmware.
• Either one LAN crossover cable, or two LAN cables.
• 3 BNC cables.
• RF cables to connect the signal generator and the PSA to the device
under test (DUT).
• When using a PSG signal generator, you will need a 50
Ω
feedthrough, or a connector tee with a 50
Ω load.
• (Optional) directional coupler or directional bridge for reflection and
VSWR measurements.
• (Optional) open/short devices for reflection and VSWR
measurements.
