Receiver Measurements; Multi-Trace Configurations - Agilent Technologies N9913A User Manual

Receiver Measurements

In NA Mode ONLY, you can make unratioed, uncorrected receiver measurements.
These measurements are typically used as diagnostic tools for service personnel.
NOTE Receiver measurements are NOT corrected for absolute power. They are only
useful for making relative measurements. The Y-Axis and markers are labeled in
dB - NOT dBm. Specifically, R1 and R2, do NOT indicate the actual power levels
out of the source ports.
How to make receiver measurements
 Press Measure 1

Multi-Trace Configurations

In NA Mode you can display multiple traces on the FieldFox screen.

admittance (Y). Then choose from the following for either:
o The displayed S-parameter is converted to the appropriate Z or Y
Auto
parameter: Refl for S11 and S22; Trans for S21 and S12. When the S-
parameter is changed, the appropriate conversion changes automatically.
o The displayed S-parameter is converted to Z or Y reflection,
Refl
regardless of whether the S-parameter is reflection (S11 or S22) or
transmission (S21 or S12).
o The displayed S-parameter is converted to Z or Y transmission,
Trans
regardless of whether the S-parameter is reflection (S11 or S22) or
transmission (S21 or S12).
The displayed S-parameter is converted to 1/S-parameter.
