U3047AM12

Description

Network Analyzer Requirements

All network analyzers require Option 551 for multiport operation (N-Port error correction and measurement
capability).

Table 1

provides a listing of other network analyzer option requirements. The network analyzer’s

frequency range must be equal to or exceed that of the test set so that the measurement system covers the
full frequency range of the test set.

The test set files indicated in

Table 1

must be installed into the analyzer’s file directory:

c:\Program Files\Agilent\Network Analyzer\testsets

Ensure that the network analyzer has the latest version of firmware installed. The following web site links
provide the necessary information needed:

•

Documentation -
