The PNA-L is an integrated vector network analyzer featuring a 
built-in S-parameter test set, one synthesized source used for 
device stimulus, a solid state drive, USB interfaces, and a 10.4” 
LCD touch screen display. The N5239A, N5231A and the 
N5232A have 50 ohm, ruggedized 3.5 mm (m) test ports. The 
N5234A and N5235A have 50 ohm, ruggedized 2.4 mm (m) test 
ports. Included with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard 
(U.S. style), and a 1-year return-to-Agilent service warranty. 
For one day of on-site productivity assistance (not included with 
instrument purchase), request quantity 1 each PS-S20-PNA.
A test set and power configuration option is mandatory, choose 
one of the following:
□ 2 ports, single source, base configuration (Option 200)  
  The 2-port with base configuration has no front-panel access 
 loops.
□ 2 ports, single source, with configurable test set and source 
  attenuators (Option 216)  
  The 2-port test set comes with a configurable test set and  
  source attenuator at each port. The configurable test set adds 
  six front-panel access loops. The loops provide access to the 
  signal path between (a) the source output and the reference 
  receiver, (b) the source output and directional coupler thru arm, 
  and (c) the coupled arm of the directional coupler and the port 
  receiver at all ports. The source attenuators are 60 dB in 10 dB 
 steps.
□ 4 ports, single source, base configuration (Option 400)  
  The 4-port base configuration has no front-panel loops, and is 
  available only on the N5231A and N5232A.
□ 4 ports, single source, with configurable test set and source 
  attenuator (Option 416)  
  The 4-port test set comes with a configurable test set and 
  one source attenuator to be shared with all ports. The config- 
  urable test set adds nine front-panel access loops. The loops 
  provide access to the signal path between (a) the source out 
  put and the reference receiver, (b) the source output and  
  directional coupler thru arm at all ports, and (c) the coupled 
  arm of the directional coupler and the port receiver at all  
  ports. The source attenuator is 60 dB in 10 dB steps. This 
  configuration is available on only N5231A and N5232A.
