Safety Notes
The following safety notes are used throughout this document. Familiarize yourself with
each of these notes and its meaning before performing any of the procedures in this
document.
WARNING Warning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure
which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in
injury or loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a warning note
until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
CAUTION Caution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not
correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or
destruction of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign
until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
Definitions
•Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty
(temperature –0 to 55 °C, unless otherwise noted.)
•Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the
product warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit
with a 95% confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical
performance does not include measurement uncertainty.
•Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is
useful in the application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.
•Characteristic Performance describes performance parameter that the product is
expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but is not verified in the field and is not
covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guard bands as a
specification.

E4402B Option H3B Description
Description
The Agilent Technologies E4402B Option H3B provides a local oscillator output on the rear
panel of the ESA using an SMA (f) connector, for use with the Aerodynex Sideband
Adapter (ATSA–N/P–06R2–AG) for TV modulator and transmitter measurements.. This
option is not compatible with option 1DN, Tracking Generator.
The center frequency of the first LO output is 3.9214 GHz when the E4402B is tuned to a
center frequency of 0 Hz, and is 4.7214 GHz when the E4402B is tuned to a center
frequency of 800 MHz.
The nominal output power of the LO Output is greater than –5 dBm from 3.9214 GHz to
4.9214 GHz (when the E4402B is tuned to a center frequency between 0 Hz and 1.0 GHz)
and is greater than –10 dBm for higher LO frequencies (Center Frequencies greater than
1 GHz) (when the E4402B is tuned to a center frequency above 1.0 GHz).
Any device connected to this output must have a 50 Ωimpedance. The Agilent
Technologies E4402B Option H3B comes with a 50 Ωtermination that is to be installed on
the 1st LO Output connector when not in use. Failure to teminate the output connector
with 50 Ωmay degrade the frequency response of the E4402B.
The Agilent Technologies E4402B Option H3B is not compatible with the Tek 1405
sideband adapter or the Aerodynex ATSA.
In all other respects, the Agilent Technologies E4402B Option H3B is the same as the
standard E4402B.
