This option extends the lower limit of the 8510XF frequency range
downward to 45 MHz. The option is implemented by adding four
low-frequency mixers, which are dedicated to the .045 to 2 GHz frequency
range. These mixers are installed in the millimeter-wave controller.
This option adds a coupler, amplifier, and RF output connector to the
millimeter-wave controller. The purpose is to make the RF input to the
controller (which is supplied by the 83651B RF source) available as an
output, so that it can be routed to other devices or test sets.
The RF output on the rear panel of the millimeter-wave controller is a
2.4 mm coaxial connector. To supply this RF output to another test set, you
will need a 2.4 mm coaxial cable of adequate length (this cable is not
supplied with the 8510XF).
The system is shipped with a 50 Ω load attached to the RF output connector.
The 8510XF firmware does not support multiple test sets. In order to use the
Option 006 RF output as the RF source for another test set, you must load
the standard 8510C firmware (from a diskette which is supplied with the
8510XF).
