Supported external sources include the Agilent ESG, PSG, and MXG Series, as well as other SCPIcontrolled signal generators. Option 083 requires Option 080, and cannot be ordered with Option 082. It is compatible with Option 084, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.
PNA Family Application Options (continued) Measurement applications (continued) Noise figure options □ Noise figure measurements using standard receivers Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that series, while gray series name with strikethrough indicates the feature is not available on that series.
PNA Family Application Options (continued) Noise figure options (continued) match are removed, greatly improving the accuracy of the coldsource technique. This approach surpasses the accuracy provided by the Y-factor method and other cold-source implementations. A scalar calibration choice is also available that offers less accuracy but is faster, and for N5241/42A, does not require the external ECal module used as an impedance tuner.
