Dynamic Accuracy at Low Frequency

Models with Low Frequency Extension option (LFE) must use the Factory Recommended Variant test plan.
On the PNA, go to Utility > System > System Setup > Preferences. Ensure that this setting is NOT selected: Marker: Coupling controls on/off state of markers.
Be sure that Pause on test point fail is not selected for this test.

For models with Low Frequency Extension (LFE) options, this test will be set to the LFE path at 99.6 MHz. The test procedure is the same as the Dynamic Accuracy test process except that the LFE test process uses a 2-channel function generator as the source which has sufficient power range to cover each power step. Therefore a test set is not required.

Connection Setups

Due to the complexity of the PNA family of analyzers, the following notes apply to illustrations in the PNA Help:

Only a single representative PNA model will be shown. Therefore, port locations may differ in older PNA models than what is shown in the illustration. Refer to the port labels on the UUT.
Some illustrations may differ than those in TME.
If the test procedure applies to multiple ports, illustrations may show the setup on only one test port.
Setups for some option configurations may not appear in the Help.

Dynamic Accuracy at Low Frequency Setup

For the two cables between the power splitter and attenuators, choose short but flexible cables. For best results, the cable between the attenuator on channel 1 of the function generator and power splitter should be of longer length than the cable from the attenuator on channel 2.
