Preventing Electrical Overstress Damage

Excessive RF power or voltage applied to the ports and connectors on the front
panel will damage the analyzer. Each port and front-panel connector has a
label (see photo below) that shows damage levels. These levels must not be
exceeded. Damage levels are also listed in the Specifications section of the
analyzer's Help system.
There are two ways to protect the PNA input ports from high RF power:
1. Use power limiters at the ports. Information on limiters can be found at:
2. Apply the recommendations in PNA Application Note 1408-10,
