Specifications

5
1. For N522xA and N5241/42A, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47A with Option 029, an
internal tuner is included. For calibration, Option 028 requires a power meter, and Option 029 requires either a power meter or a 346-series noise source
(Agilent 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). All options require a power meter for measuring mixers and converters.
2. Option 080 is required to configure an external source using External Device Configuration dialog.
3. Option 082 is a subset of Option 083; therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
4. For vector mixer calibration, a configurable test set is required for connecting a reference mixer (when ordered with N522xA-200 or -400, Option 083 adds
phase measurements using SMC+Phase only).
5. Option 087 can be ordered without N524xA-224 or N524xA-423, but may require external equipment such as a signal generator and a combiner. Refer to
page 12 for more details.
6. When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit. Refer to page 21 Multiport Measurements section for more details.
7. When configuring N524xA as a multiport analyzer using Option 551 and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily dis-
abled. When configuring N524xA as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled.
