Purpose of Tests
The calibration and performance test procedures verify the electrical
performance of the Agilent Technologies N8972A, N8973A, N8974A and
N8975A series of Noise Figure Analyzers (NFAs) in accordance with
their published specifications.
You do not need to access the interior of the instrument to perform the
tests.
If for any reason the unit measures out-of-specification, then adjustment
procedures are supplied where applicable.
The Noise Figure Analyzers must be able to reach thermal equilibrium
in accordance with the temperature stability specifications before
performing any tests or adjustments.
System performance is only guaranteed if each instrument in the test
system/process is within the manufacturer's recommended calibration
period.
