(+30 dBm) can be applied to the device under test (DUT). Additionally, there is an external
reference input that allows the external amplifier's frequency response and drift to be
ratioed out. There are also internal step attenuators between the coupler and the receivers
to prevent receiver overload.
For high dynamic range measurements, front panel jumpers are moved to reverse the
signal path through one of the couplers, allowing for a 15 dB improvement in transmitted
signal sensitivity in one direction only. Jumpers are installed on both ports allowing the
user to choose a measurement in either the forward or reverse direction.

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 2-4) 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 UNL, Source Attenuators and Bias Tees
This option adds a 60-dB step attenuator and a bias tee between the switch splitter and
each of the ports. The step attenuators are used to adjust the power level to the device
under test (DUT) without changing the power in the reference path. The bias tees provide
a means of biasing active devices under test. DC bias for the bias tees is provided through
two rear-panel BNC connectors. These inputs are fused for protection.
