Purpose of Tests
The calibration and performance test procedures verify the electrical performance of
the Agilent Technologies 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.
