The Agilent N4373A Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) is designed for
characterizing the magnitude and phase transfer functions of electrical,
opto-electrical, electro-optical and optical components. Apart from
classical RF components, this includes RF PIN diodes, transceivers, lasers,
electro-optical modulators and optical filters.
The Agilent N4373A Lightwave Component Analyzer offers versatility
and fast measurement speed to reduce cost of design and
manufacturing of high- performance network components
• E/O, O/E, O/O component response vs f mod
• Full S- parameter analysis for electrical measurements
• NIST traceable system specifications
• Optical Interfaces 1310/1550nm SMF or 850nm MMF
• Single and balanced measurements
• Frequency range 300kHz to 20GHz
The LCA incorporates an electrical network analyzer. By this is
meant an Agilent N5230A PNA series microwave network
analyzer (PNA), or an Agilent E5070/1B ENA Series RF
network analyzer (ENA).
Please also refer to the user documentation and online help
that comes with the network analyzer.
To get the most performance out of your Lightwave Component Analyzer, it
is recommended that you read
either
Chapter 3, "Making Measurements on the ENA"
"Making Measurements on the
analyzer. These chapters describe the different measurements, and the
setup procedures.
