step attenuator , which can be freely set and therefore allowing to optimize the input
compression and noise behavior at this measurement receiver. See Figure 4-42 .
●
The R&S ZNA must be equipped with a receiver step attenuator at port 1 (option
R&S ZNAxx-B31)

To suppress the overall LO leakage at the port further, it is recommended to use the
Direct source monitor access at port 1 (option R&S ZNAxx-B161). This configuration
suppresses the LO leakage of the reference receiver. A full schematic showing the
internal configuration is shown in
Figure 4-43 .
