PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers General Product Information
E8362B, E8363B, E8364B Analyzer Options Available

Option 081, External Reference Switch

This upgrade adds a solid-state internal RF transfer switch in the R1 reference receiver
path. The switch allows the instrument to easily switch between standard S-parameter
(non-frequency offset) measurements and frequency offset measurements such as relative
phase or absolute group delay that require an external reference mixer. The user can set
the switch manually or remotely, but it is best used with the frequency-converter
application (option 083), where it is controlled automatically during the vector-mixer
calibration procedure.

Option 083, Frequency Converter Measurement Application

This option adds an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, advanced calibration choices
that provide exceptional amplitude and phase accuracy, and control of external signal
sources for use as local oscillators (both fixed and swept-LO measurements are supported).
A graphical set-up dialog box lets you quickly set up the instrument for single or dual
conversion devices. This set-up screen also helps you calculate and choose where mixing
and image products will fall.

Option 099, Firmware Upgrade

This upgrade provides the latest revision of firmware for the PNA series network
analyzers on CD-ROM. This firmware is user installable. The installation requires a USB
CD-ROM drive (see "CD-RW Drive" on page 2-8) or an external computer connected to a
Local Area Network (LAN).
This firmware is also available on the Internet at the Agilent website:
http://www.agilent.com/find/pna. (Select your analyzer's model number in this website to
view available upgrades.)

Option 221, 2-Port Front Panel Upgrade

This option changes the front panel UI (user interface) to a touchscreen and softkey
interface with a new color LCD display. This option changes your analyzer from an "A"
model to a "C" model.

Option 897, Built-In Tests for Commercial Calibration

This option enables performance tests that are built into the analyzer that enable you to
perform ISO 9001 commercial calibration of your analyzer. Refer to "Calibration Options"
on page 2-12 for a description of the commercial calibration.

Option 898 Built-In Tests for Standards Compliant Calibration

This option enables performance tests that are built into the analyzer that enable you to
perform ISO 17025 and ANSI Z540 standards compliant calibration of your analyzer. Refer
to "Calibration Options" on page 2-12 for a description of the standards compliant
calibrations.
