2 Installation Note N5242-90010
Description of the Upgrade
IMPORTANT In June 2013, the N5241A/AS and N5242A/AS analyzers underwent significant hardware changes.
Some components that have 2.4 mm connectors (bias tees, couplers, and some semi-rigid cables) were
replaced with components that have 3.5 mm connectors.
If your analyzer's serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5310 and below:
Your analyzer was originally shipped with 2.4 mm components. Bias tees with 2.4 mm connectors are no
longer available, so the bias tees and connecting cables included in this kit have 3.5 mm connectors.
Since they are interconnected, the 2.4 mm couplers and connecting cables in your analyzer must be
replaced with the new 3.5 mm items included in this kit.
If your analyzer's serial number prefix is MY/SG/US5321 and above:
Your analyzer was shipped with 3.5 mm components, so it is not necessary to replace the bias tees,
couplers, and connecting cables. These items are included in this kit, but will not be used for your
upgrade. Set them aside for possible use in the future.
Be very careful to use the appropriate hardware in your analyzer. Using the wrong hardware can ruin
analyzer components, resulting in additional customer costs.
This upgrade adds noise figure measurement capability to your Option 419 or 423 4-port analyzer by adding
Option 029 which includes:
