Input/Output 9
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 197
Microwave Preselector (Option 123 Only)
Switches the input signal path between the normal preselected mixer and an optional
unpreselected high band mixer. The preselected path is the normal path for the N8201A.
The first mixer can be overloaded if a large out-of-span signal is present at the input. When
the preselector is bypassed, this signal passes through to the mixer causing an overload.
The instrument cannot detect this condition, so no overload error message is displayed.
Key Path: Input/Output
Dependencies/Couplings: The functionality is not available:
• if the start frequency is in band zero (<2.85 GHz).
• when using a Mode other then Spectrum Analysis, such as Phase Noise and Noise
Figure.
If the preselector state is off, then the instrument start frequency is limited to frequencies
≥3.05 GHz.
Saved State: Saved in Instrument State
Factory Preset: On
