Analyzer Options Available
Option 1D5, High Stability Frequency Reference
Option 1D5 offers ±0.05 ppm temperature stability from 0 to 55 °C (referenced to 25 °C),
and aging rate of ±0.5 ppm per year (typical).
Option 004, Source Attenuator (ET Only)
This option adds a 55 dB step attenuator that extends the output power range by allowing
lower power levels.
Option 007, Mechanical Transfer Switch (ES Only)
This option replaces the solid state transfer switch with a mechanical switch in the test
set, providing the instrument with greater power handling capability. Because the
mechanical transfer switch has less loss than the standard switch, the output power of
Option 007 instruments is 5 dB higher.
Option 010, Time Domain
This option displays the time domain response of a network by computing the inverse
Fourier transform of the frequency domain response. It shows the response of a test device
as a function of time or distance. Displaying the reflection coefficient of a network versus
time determines the magnitude and location of each discontinuity. Displaying the
transmission coefficient of a network versus time determines the characteristics of
individual transmission paths. Time domain operation retains all accuracy inherent with
the correction that is active in the frequency domain. The time domain capability is useful
for the design and characterization of such devices as SAW filters, SAW delay lines, RF
cables, and RF antennas.
Option 012, Direct Access Receiver Configuration (ES Only)
This option provides front panel access to the A and B samplers. This allows direct access
to the sampler inputs for improved sensitivity in applications such as antenna tests, or for
the insertion of attenuators between the couplers and samplers to allow measurements of
up to 1 Watt (+30 dBm) at the input of the test ports. Direct access to the B sampler
provides a test configuration for the analyzer that gives increased dynamic range in the
forward direction.
