High Dynamic Range Configurable Test Set Configuration
With a few jumper changes, you can configure the configurable test set configuration for higher dynamic range
measurements. By swapping the front panel jumpers for one port, signal flow through the corresponding coupler is
reversed, increasing the test signal sensitivity by 15 dB.
In the forward direction, as shown in Figure 5-6, the signal flow through the test port 2 coupler (A22) is
reversed by arranging the front panel jumpers such that RCVR B IN connects to CPLR THRU and CPLR ARM
connects to SOURCE OUT. The configuration of the front panel jumpers is the same for both single source
and two source analyzers.
Search for “Option 014” in the embedded help index in the analyzer for more information.
