Noise Receiver Linearity Performance Test Overview

Normal Variant

For models using the Factory Recommended Variant test plan, go here.

This test applies to the following models using the Normal Variant test plan:

For test description, go to the topic's Overview page.

Choosing the Correct Solution

There are two solutions offered in the Normal Variant test plan for the Noise Receiver Linearity Performance Test depending on model and option combination or serial number prefix break. Each solution uses a different dynamic accuracy test set. Use the Decision Tree below to determine which solution is appropriate for your model.

Preferred Solution

Uses the U3020BD01 or U3020AD01 test set

Alternate Solution

Uses the Z5623A Opt. H01 test set

Dual Solution

Some models will use a dual solution meaning that either solution can be used depending on which dynamic accuracy test set is mapped in TME. If both test sets are mapped, TME will recommend the Preferred Solution.

Serial Number Prefix Break — <NDA> Option

Some PNA-X models produced after the serial number prefix break (see below) are assigned Option <NDA> in TME to facilitate testing. Models with this option will always use the Preferred Solution. Use the table below to determine if your model is assigned Option <NDA>.

Model Number

Serial Number Prefix

  

Model Number

Serial Number Prefix

Models with serial prefix greater than or equal to these will be assigned Option <NDA> in TME.
