Migration from 8510/8530 based antenna systems to PNA
network analyzer based systems
Table 3 shows the various system components of 8510/8530 based antenna systems
and their recommended replacement components. While the components listed are
recommended replacements, some interface requirements are different. Refer to the
“Antenna measurement design considerations” section on page 22 for interface
requirements.
