X-parameters
Required NVNA accessories
• U9391C 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz or U9391F 10 MHz to 50 GHz comb generator (two required for nonlinear measurements)
• Agilent power meter and sensor or USB power sensor
• Agilent calibration kit, mechanical or ECal
• Agilent signal generator, MXG or PSG used for X-parameter extraction (internal 10 MHz reference output can be used for 10 MHz tone spacing applications)
1. Order special model N524xAS instead of N524xA and add items N524xA-200 and N524xAS-H85 for 2-port, extended power range, high power configuration,
or items N524xA-400 and N524xAS-H85 for 4-port, extended power range, high power configuration. Order N524xA-xxx items for other standard options.
Option H85 modifies the extended power range and bias-tees (Options 219 and 419), and therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
2. For source-corrected measurements, Options 028, 029, and H29 require an ECal module for use as an impedance tuner. For calibration, Options 029 and
H29 also require a 346-series noise source (Agilent 346C recommended), while Option 028 requires a power meter. All options require a power meter for
measuring mixers and converters.
3. Option 082 is a subset of Option 083; therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
4. When configured as a multiport analyzer using Option 551 and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily disabled.
When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled. When ordering a test set, select an option to specify the appropriate
interconnect jumper cable set between the analyzer and the test set.
