Front Panel
The front panel of the analyzer is equipped with the following parts:
- Power switch;
- Test ports;
- LED indicators;
- Ground terminal;
- Adjustable ports configurations (Planar 814/1 only).
Power Switch
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Function | Switches the power supply of the Analyzer on and off. |
| Note | When you turn on your Analyzer for the first time, the USB driver will be installed onto the PC. The driver installation procedure is described in section 2.2. Some computers may require re-installation of the driver in case of change of the USB port. |
Test Ports
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Function | The Port 1 and test Port 2 are intended for DUT connection. Planar and S models and C1209 have type-N female test ports. C1220 has NMD 3.5 mm male test ports. |
| Note | LED indicator identifies the test port which is operating as a signal source. |
| CAUTION | Do not exceed the maximum allowed power of the input RF signal (or maximum DC voltage) indicated on the front panel. This may damage your Analyzer. |
Ground Terminal
Use the terminal for grounding.
Adjustable ports configurations (Planar 814/1 only)
Adjustable ports configurations with direct access to the receivers of the VNA provides for a variety of test applications requiring wider dynamic and power range. Direct receiver access enables testing of high power devices. Additional amplifiers, attenuators, various filters and matching pads for each of the ports can be introduced in reference oscillator and receiver path to ensure the optimal operation mode of the receivers and the DUT, close to the real.
