  • Page 7: Application Software

    Noise calibration requires a power meter when using a standard receiver. When using the low-noise receiver (Option 029), either a power meter or a 346-series noise source is required (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). A power meter is required for measuring mixers and converters.
  • Page 8 When N524xB is configured as a multiport analyzer using S93551B/A and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 22x or 42x is temporarily disabled. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled. A fully configured NVNA system requires two comb generators with power supplies, Keysight calibration kits (mechanical or ECal), and a power meter and sensor or USB power sensor.
