Agilent Technologies N8201A manual Level, Input RF, If Output, Reference Oscillator

3Using the Agilent Synthetic Instrument GUI

Level

Sets the input attenuation. The input attenuation can be set from 0 to 70 dB in 2 dB steps.The input impedance is set to 50 ohms. Input attenuation is used to minimize compression caused by a signal level that is too high in amplitude.

Input RF

Accesses the functions to select the input signal source (choices are RF, 50 MHz Cal, or External Mixer), enable a preamplifier, and to set the coupling to either AC or DC.

IF Output

Accesses the functions to set the IF Bandwidth and IF Frequency.

Table 3 Grouped Values

IF Output	IF Bandwidth	IF Frequency	Input Impedance
	Limits	Limits	Limits
IF Output 1	0 to 3 MHz	21.4 MHz	50 Ohm
IF Output 2	100 MHz	321.4 MHz	50 Ohm
IF Output 3	10 MHz	7.5 MHz	50 Ohm

Reference Oscillator

Allows you to use either the internal or an external reference oscillator for making measurements.

Reference Output

Switches the 10 MHz out signal on the front panel of the N8201A performance downconverter On and Off.

Reference Input Source

Specifies whether to use an External or Internal source for the reference oscillator. If set to External, a value must be specified for External Frequency with limits from 1 MHz to

30 MHz.
