1. The N8974A and N8975A NFA models have a mechanical switch fitted to allow them to switch
between the 10 MHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range and the 3.0 GHz to 6.7 GHz and the 3.0 GHz
to 26.5 GHz frequency ranges respectively. If the frequency range you are working in crosses the
3.0 GHz point, the mechanical switch operates. The mechanical switch has a limited number of
cycles over which it is reliable. To maximize the switches reliable life, switching over the
3.0 GHz switch should be limited where possible.
2. Temperature stability on the Standard Frequency reference is achieved 60 minutes after the
Analyzer is powered on.
