Amplitude / Y Scale 2
Agilent N8201A Performance Downconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 26.5 GHz 63
Int Preamp (Options 1DS and 110 only)
Turns the internal preamp on and off. Option 1DS preamp functions over a frequency range
of 100 kHz to 3 GHz. Option 110 preamp functions over a frequency range of 100 kHz to 50
GHz. When the preamp is on, an automatic adjustment compensates for the gain of the
preamp so that displayed amplitude readings still accurately reflect the value at the N8201A
input connector. The Option 1DS preamp is switched off for frequencies above 3 GHz, and
the correction is not applied, even though the PA annotation remains on screen. For signal
frequencies below 100 kHz, the preamp is not automatically switched out, but signal
amplitude roll-off occurs even in the “DC” setting of the RF Coupling control.
The gain of the preamp is nominally 30 dB. This functionality is not available when using
external mixing.
