    The noise source diode inside the noise source cartridge changed at serial prefix MY/SG/US5323 for models 346A and N4000A including options 001, 002, and 004. Noise sources with serial prefixes manufactured before MY/SG/US5323 will now have a noise cartridge replacement kit that will include both a new noise cartridge and new attenuator.

    ENR specification. For the 346A and 346B, bias levels are determined by installing the appropriate resistor value for R7 on the printed circuit board (Figure 1).

    12 For the 346B, if the ENR is not within specification, refer to the supplied 00346-90024 Installation Note for instructions on how to tune the attenuator to meet the ENR specification at frequencies above 12 GHz. The 346A should not require polyiron tuning. 13 Retest ENR after tuning the attenuator.

    346A/B Replacement Printed Circuit Board Assembly Installation Instructions 1 Disassemble the Noise Source by removing the two flat head screws near the BNC connector, and slide out the printed circuit board assembly. 2 R7 is not loaded in the replacement printed circuit board assembly. Install the same value of R7 as in the printed circuit board being replaced.

    7 If the ENR is not meeting specification, use the field calibration software to change the bias setting. Refer to Table 2 for bias current values. Decreasing the bias current increases the ENR response. 8 Retest ENR. Keysight 346A, 346B, N4000A, and N4001A Installation Note...
