Upgrade considerations

There are numerous reasons for upgrading the Agilent 8510 system. The 8510 network analyzer maintains excellent performance while adapting to different measurement requirements such as basic component testing, on-wafer probing, pulsed device characterization, antenna and RCS (Radar Cross Section) meas- urements. Depending on the application, the 8510 network analyzer system can be reconfigured to meet other system measurement needs.

Figure 6. 8510 upgrade paths

Agilent 85103E Upgrades the 8510A to an 8510C by replacing the top unit and modifying the bottom unit of the 8510A. It includes on-site installation by an Agilent Customer Engineer (where available).

Option 001 adds a rack modification kit for mounting in an 85043A system rack

Option 002 adds an 8360 series source compatibility kit for 8517A/B test sets1 Option 003 adds an 8360 series source compatibility kit for 8514/15 and 85110A test sets1

Option 004 adds an 85110L source compatibility kit

Option 010 adds time domain to an 8510A with time domain previously installed

Agilent 85103F Upgrades the 8510B to an 8510C by replacing the top unit on the 8510B. It includes on-site installation by Customer Engineer (where available).
