PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzer System System Installation
N5250A PNA, Controller, and Test H
ead Module Interconnections
Front Panel Cabling
The front-panel interconnections between
the N5260A millimeter head controller and the test
head modules are shown in Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, and Figure 3-6.
The test head modules are placed on the work surface in front of the PNA and head controller as
shown. When the test head modules are facing each other like this, the Port 1 connector faces
the Port 2 connector.
Refer to “Sequence of Test Head Module Connections” on page 3-13 for power supply
connections to the test head modules.
The order in which cables are connected to a test head module is
significant; see “Sequence of Test Head Module Connections” on page 3-13.
