N7842A Test System Overview

The Keysight Technologies test system is designed to verify the performance of the ENA Series network analyzers and ensure that they meet published specifications. The following models are supported by the N7842A calibration application:

E5071C
E5072A
E5080A

New UUT Models and Options Supported

None

New Test Equipment

U3070A-K01 compression test set for E5071C: This will be the recommended model. The alternate Z5623A-K01 has been discontinued but is still supported as an alternate model.
8493C Option 010, 3.5 mm attenuator, qty. 2: Required for all DUTs for the new dynamic accuracy solution in the Factory Recommended Variant.
11667B 3.5 mm power splitter: New ETE for the E5080A. Used in the new dynamic accuracy solution.
33622A function generator: Required for all ENA models for the new dynamic accuracy test in the Factory Recommended Variant test plan. Alternate models are not allowed.

New Features and Enhancements

Two test plan variants are now offered: Factory Recommended and Normal. Two variants are necessary to support varying solutions for testing dynamic accuracy. Note that the E5080A can only use the Factory Recommended Variant. Refer to Test Plan Variants for more information.
New dynamic accuracy solution that uses the 33622A function generator. This new solution was developed to test an enhanced specification for the E5080A. The E5071C and E5072A can also use this new solution by choosing the Factory Recommended Variant test plan. Refer to Test Plan Variants for more information.
Improved testing for receiver compression for the E5071C. The previous two receiver compression functional tests have been improved and are now run under new names as performance verification tests. Refer to Test Plan Variants for more information.
