50 GHz Noise Figure with Opt. 029 and External Test Set

The low-noise receiver and the noise receiver path switch is added between the port 2 CPLR THRU jumper connector and the port 2 bias tee as shown in the images below.

When it is configured with a multiport test set (i.e. U3024AH10), the low-noise receiver cannot be used with test ports on the test set with standard multiport test set jumper connections. See the following modified test set connections to use 50 GHz low-noise receiver with multiport test set.
