General Product Information PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers
Analyzer Options Available N5230C
Option 010, Time Domain
This option can be added to any other option combination.
An Option 010 analyzer can display the time domain response of a network or test device by calculating the
inverse Fourier transform of the frequency domain response. This calculation allows the Option 010 analyzer
to show the response of a test device as a function of time or distance. In time domain, the magnitude and
location of a discontinuity and the characteristics of individual transmission paths of a network or test
device can be determined. Time domain operation retains all the accuracy of active error correction.
Option 014, Configurable Test Set
This option is included in Options 145, 146, 245, and 246.
An Option 014 analyzer can be configured to measure high-power devices and devices for high dynamic
range.
For a high-power measurement, external amplifiers and high power attenuators or isolators can be added to
complete the test setup. Test port output power up to 1 Watt (+30 dBm) can be applied to the device under
test (DUT).
Additionally, there is an external reference input that allows the external amplifier’s frequency response and
drift to be ratioed out.
For high dynamic range measurements, front panel jumpers are moved to reverse the signal path through
one of the couplers, allowing for a 15 dB improvement in transmitted signal sensitivity in one direction only.
Jumpers are installed on both ports allowing the user to choose a measurement in either the forward or
reverse direction.
Option 080, Frequency Offset Mode
This option can be added to any other option combination.
This upgrade enables the additional firmware necessary to make frequency offset measurements.
Option 1CM, Rack Mount Flange Kit for Instruments without Handles
Option 1CM provides a rack mount kit that contains a pair of flanges, rack mount rails, and the necessary
hardware to mount the analyzer in an equipment rack with 482.6 mm (19 inches) horizontal spacing.
Additional kits may be ordered from Agilent. Refer to “Rack Mount Kits and Handle Kits” on page 6-49 for
the part numbers.
Option 1CP, Rack Mount Flange Kit for Instruments with Handles
Option 1CP provides a rack mount kit that contains a pair of flanges (cut to adapt to handles), rack mount
rails, and the necessary hardware to mount the analyzer in an equipment rack with 482.6 mm (19 inches)
horizontal spacing.
Additional kits may be ordered from Agilent. Refer to “Rack Mount Kits and Handle Kits” on page 6-49 for
the part numbers.
