Z5623A Option H01 Description Description The Z5623A Option H01 Dynamic Accuracy Test Set is designed for use with the PNA and PNA-X Series Network Analyzers. The Z5623A H01 can measure a receiver's relative power linearity (dynamic accuracy) when used with an E-Series power meter, a thermocouple power sensor, and a test algorithm. The Z5623A H01 was designed for maximum measurement accuracy over a 120 dB dynamic range.
A functional certificate is supplied for the Z5623A Option H01. The Z5623A Option H01 performance is based on external components such as the calibration kit and network analyzer. There are no internal adjustment in the Z5623A Option H01, therefore an annual calibration is not required.
Air conditioning capacity must be consistent with the rating listed in the PNA and PNA-X standard documentation. Dimensions and Space Requirements Standard installation of the Z5623A Option H01 and PNA includes configuration and installation on a customer provided lab bench or table top of adequate size and strength.

Z5623A Option H01 System Setup System Setup The Z5623A Option H01 Test Set is designed to be placed near the network analyzer on a bench top and connected as shown in Figure 1. Connect a GPIB cable from the controller to the rear panel of the network analyzer. See “Operation”...
Z5623A Option H01 System Setup Setting the Test Set Address Switch The test set is shipped with the GPIB address set to 12, as shown in Figure To set the GPIB address, set all five switches so that the sum of the switches in the “ON” (or 1) position equals the desired address.
Z5623A Option H01 Operation Operation The Z5623A Option H01 is a “slave” instrument: a controller must be used to control the test set. The controller can control the test set using GPIB commands via the GPIB connector. Commands The only way to control the test set is to address the Option H01 test set directly over GPIB using a controller to write directly to the test set's GPIB port.

Z5623A Option H01 Operation To identify the test set serial number, send the following commands: OUTPUT 712;"sn?" ENTER 712;Sn$ DISP Sn$ The "idn?" command displays the instrument IP on the front panel; it does not respond over the GPIB. Reset Command When the Reset command is sent, the test set is set to the default state where the attenuators are set to 0 dB and the amplifier is switched out.
The use of adapters may be required and their effects should be accounted within the measurements. Prior to June 2007, the Z5623A Option H01 had hard specifications, therefore a calibration certificate was available for the test set. The specifications have now been replaced with typical performance characteristics.

Figure 11 Simplified Block Diagram The Z5623A Option H01 was designed to allow a power meter to be used as the linearity reference. The power splitter and attenuators AT_a and AT_b are used in conjunction to vary the power to the receiver by 120 dB while the power delivered to the power meter stays within a 10 dB range.
Z5623A Option H01 Theory of Operation It is necessary to eliminate the step size error and the mismatch error between the receiver and the test set whenever AT_b switches. This is done using an attenuator correction measurement embedded into the measurement algorithm. The source power of the network analyzer is adjusted until the receiver reads the same power before and after the attenuators are changed.
