Option LNP or Option MPB Installation Kit

Option LNP or Option MPB Installation Kit 

Introduction

When a new instrument is ordered from the factory with either Option LNP or MPB enabled, the 

instrument is assembled with hardware that supports both options. Therefore, instruments that 

currently contain Option LNP can be upgraded to also contain Option MPB by licensing Option 

MPB. Instruments that currently contain Option MPB can be upgraded to also contain Option LNP 

by licensing Option LNP. 
This installation note explains how to install Option LNP or Option MPB into instruments that 

already contain one of these options.
If the instrument HAS frequency range option 508, 513, or 526 and DOES NOT currently contain 

either Option LNP, or Option MPB, the hardware required to support these two options is not 

contained in the instrument and the N9030AK-HL1 retrofit kit is required.
If the instrument HAS frequency range option 543, 544, or 550 and DOES NOT currently contain 

either Option LNP, or Option MPB, the hardware required to support these two options is not 

contained in the instrument and the N9030AK-HL2 retrofit kit is required.
Option LNP provides a switchable Low Noise Path, for input frequencies 3.6 GHz and greater. This 

low noise path when activated allows enhanced DANL and SHI performance. 
Option MPB provides a switchable microwave preselector filter bypass path for input frequencies 

3.6 GHz and above. The preselector filter limits the bandwidth of the input signal and can cause 

slight amplitude errors if the filter drifts.
