N2002A Datasheet, PDF (3/5 Pages) Keysight Technologies – N2002A Noise Source Test Set 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz

Noise Source Calibration System
Note: The N2002A noise source test set must be used
within a noise source calibration system; the N2002 has no
power supply and performs no measurements.
Demonstration software
Demonstration software is supplied with the N2002A
noise source test set to automate the noise source
calibration process. You can also use the software as
a basis for developing your own automation process.
The demonstration software is supplied free of charge on
the accompanying CD and is written in Agilent VEE Pro.
Although the source code may be manipulated to meet
your requirements it is neither a supported product or
covered under warranty. To make changes to the source
code a licensed copy of Agilent VEE Pro is required.

Configuring a noise source
calibration system
Agilent can supply all the equipment necessary to configure
a system that provides fast accurate noise figure calibration.
For details on the required equipment and the recommended
calibration process, see Noise Source Calibration: Using
the Agilent N8975A Noise Figure Analyzer and the N2002A
Noise Source Test Set (literature number 5988-7229EN).
Figure 2. Demonstration software main window
The following Agilent equipment is required to configure a
complete noise source calibration system¹:
• N8975A NFA (10 MHz to 26.6 GHz) with option 1D5
(high stability frequency reference)
• N2002A noise source test set with option 001²
• 11713A attenuator/switch unit
• Gold standard noise source (See Ordering information
for further details.)
2. Option N2002A-001 includes all the necessary cables and connectors
to perform the standard calibration of noise sources with 3.5 mm and
type-N connectors. See Ordering information for details.
