Millimeter-Wave Source Modules
The following is a list of equipment required for extending the frequency range of the signal
generator:
• Agilent 8355x series millimeter-wave source module
• Agilent 8349B microwave amplifier (required only for the E8257D PSG without Option 1EA)
• RF output cables and adapters as required
NOTE Maximum insertion loss for cables and adapters connected to the E8267D PSG or E8257D
PSG with Option 1EA should be less than 1.5 dB. This will ensure maximum power from the
external source module.
Setting Up the External Source Module
CAUTION To prevent damage to the signal generator, turn off the line power to the signal
generator before connecting the source module interface cable to the rear panel SOURCE
MODULE INTERFACE connector.
1. Turn off the signal generator’s line power.
2. Connect the equipment as shown.
• E8257D PSG without Option 1EA uses the setup in Figure 11-21.
