The Agilent Technologies 8510 network analyzer consists of a family of compatible products where each part is a separate system component. Each complete system includes the 8510 network analyzer, a test set, and compatible sources (measurement accessories are also needed to complete the measure- ment setup), shown in Figure 3. The frequency range of the measurement sys- tem is determined by the test set or the compatible source’s lesser frequency. Example: if a 50 GHz test set is used with a 20 GHz source, the maximum frequency measured is 20 GHz.
