	Analyzer.
	The test set used is selected from the network analyzer. Refer to “Controlling Multiple Test
	Sets” in Chapter 3, “Operation” of this manual for more information.

	Note: If bias is required but attenuation is not, the bias can be applied externally by using an
	HP 11612B bias tee.
Option 004	Moves Port 2 attenuator in front of the b2 sampler, allowing devices with output power up to 30
	dBm (1 W) to be measured. Adds a 3 dB attenuator which protects the switch splitter from high
	power into Port 2.
