Knowing The Instrument Modes; Network Analyzer Mode; Tuned Receiver Mode - Agilent Technologies 8719D User Manual

Knowing the Instrument Modes

There are three major instrument modes of the analyzer:

network analyzer mode

n

tuned receiver mode

n
The instrument mode menu can be accessed by pressing (sx) IISTRIJNEZST MODE . This menu
contains the following softkeys:
. I$XT R GHAN (Option 085 Only)
. FREQ UFFS HENU (Option 089 Only)
Network Analyzer Mode
This is the standard mode of operation for the analyzer, and is active after you press 1Preset) or
switch on the AC power.
Pressing B f3IS~ MDDE lQETftoRK AHJtLTZER returns the analyzer to the "normal"
network analyzer operating mode.
This mode uses the analyzer's internal source.
Tuned Receiver Mode
If you press (j) XEJSTRu)6EBIT MODE +lYfJ?JED RECEIVER, the analyzer receiver operates
independently of any signal source.
The following features and limitations apply to the tuned receiver mode:
It is a fully synthesized receiver; it does not phase-lock to any source.
n
It functions in all sweep types.
n
It requires a synthesized CW source whose timebase is input to the analyzer's external
n
frequency reference.
For more information on using the tuned receiver mode, refer to Chapter 2, "Making
Measurements. n
