E8362B, E8363B and E8384B Option H85 General Overview
Operation
Operation
The Agilent Option H85 can be configured differently for many applications. Included in
this manual insert are four typical configurations:
• Figure 2, “Bypass Configuration and Major Assemblies.”
• Figure 3, “High Power One-way Input/Output.”
• Figure 4, “High Power DUT One-way to Output.”
• Figure 5, “High Power Two-way Configuration.”
NOTE The internal firmware of the PNA has not been modified for this option. The
power levels indicated on the Agilent E8362B, E8363B and E8364B Option
H85 may differ depending on the user configuration that is chosen.
Refer to the configuration diagrams for external component connections and/or operating
constraints when utilizing the high power capability of the Agilent E8362B, E8363B and
E8364B Option H85. External components are not supplied with this option.
When using the Agilent E8362B, E8363B and E8364B Option H85 in the high power
configuration, the Frequency Offset mode (Option 080) and External R1 (Option 081) must
be activated. This will ensure phase lock and allow R1 and R2 to receive the new reference
power levels from the amplifiers. Refer to Table 1 on page 4.
CAUTION The A and B maximum attenuator setting is 35 dB. The PNA Option 016,
Receiver Step Attenuators, reduces the power to the A and B receivers. Power
measurements to Test Ports 1 and 2 above +35 dBm will require additional
attenuation. Add the appropriate amount of attenuation that will keep the
coupler arm output power below –12 dBm. Refer to Table 1 on page 4.
Refer to Table 2 on page 16 for information regarding the PNA frequency Band-Crossing
with high power devices with ALC and Table 3 on page 17 for Watts to dBm Reference
Table.
