Agilent U9391C/F Comb Generator Operating and Service Manual

Comb Generator and Agilent PNA-X Configurations

Two units of U9391C/F are required to carry out non- linear 
measurements. One unit is used as the phase reference module 
and the second unit as the phase calibration module.

The U9391C/F units need to be powered by separate power 
supplies. 

The NVNA software automatically controls the U9391C/F units 
via USB after the two units have been selected as the phase 
reference and phase calibration module respectively.
