Interconnection Diagrams for Discontinued PLTS Systems

IMPORTANT

The Reference channel path through the test set is used to compensate for electrically-long DUTs. This also results in added loss in the Reference channel and higher trace noise.

Therefore, unless making high-speed measurements of electrically-long devices, do NOT remove the PNA REFERENCE 1 and REFERENCE 2 front-panel loops, and do NOT use the Reference channel interconnect cables (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, and 14).

Correct Cable Orientation

Note:  When connecting the interconnect cables described in this topic, be careful to install the interconnect cables correctly. The longer end of the interconnect cable connects to the network analyzer front panel connector.

If the test set and the network analyzer are rack mounted, the screws securing the rack mount flanges to the instrument rack may be loosened slightly to allow for minor repositioning of the instruments. Don't forget to retighten the screws when you are done.
