(Shown with the HP / Agilent 8970B Noise Figure Meter
to make up the base of an HP / Agilent 8970S)
Option 001* adds
an internal LO power amp, reducing the LO input power requirement of the
HP / Agilent 8971C from +7 dBm to +1 dBm. This option is usually required for
measurements above 20 GHz, where source power becomes limited or in system
applications, where there is considerable loss between the LO source and
the 8971C LO input.
Option 002* deletes
the built-in low noise RF preamp. This option is best suited for
measurements of high gain devices or for measurements with a user-supplied
low noise RF preamp.

HP / Agilent 8971C Noise Figure Test Set, 10 MHz - 26.5 GHz
Combine the HP / Agilent 8970B Noise Figure Meter, the HP / Agilent 8971C Noise Figure Test Set, and a recommended local oscillator and you have the powerful 8970S Microwave Nvoise Figure Measurement System. The 8970B automatically controls both the 8971C and local oscillator, making the microwave system as easy to use as the 8970B by itself. The 8970S gives you all the capabilities of the 8970B Noise Figure Meter in a system specified from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Custom block downconvertors are available to extend the operating frequency to 110 GHz.
The 8970S model number lets you configure a microwave noise figure system to fit your application, while still ensuring the instruments are compatible and the shipment is coordinated. A complete 8970S Noise Figure Measurement System consists of an HP / Agilent 8971C (with desired options*), an 8970B, and an LO. Frequency operation depends on the LO selected, but the 8970S can be configured to measure 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. The HP / Agilent 8971C with Option 001* is recommended for operation above 20 GHz.
HP / Agilent 8971C Specifications: (For single sideband operations using one of the recommended local oscillators.)
