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.
