Option 019 provides a fixed hard disk drive. The removable
disk drive is not available.
Option 017 Removable hard disk drive
Option 017 provides a removable hard disk drive. You can
remove or replace the hard disk drive for secure area
operations. If a spare disk is needed, order E5071CU-018
hard disk drive kit.
Certification options
Option 1A7 ISO 17025 compliant calibration
Option 1A7 provides a complete set of measurements
which test the unit to manufacturer’s published specifi-
cations. Includes calibration label, ISO 17025 calibration
certificate, and data report, and measurement uncertainties
and guardbands on all customer specifications. Conforms
to ISO 17025 and ISO 9001.
Option A6J ANSI Z540 compliant calibration
Option A6J provides a complete set of measurements
which test the unit to manufacturer’s published specifica-
tions. Includes pre- and post-adjustment data and measure-
ment uncertainty information compliant with the ANSI/
NCSL Z540 standard.
1. When using an ECal module with MWA calibration wizard, a 4-port ECal module (i.e. N4431B, N4433A) is required.
ENA Network Analyzer (E5071C)
Additional software options
Option 010 Time domain
Option 010 enables the ENA to view reflection and trans-
mission responses in the time domain. Use time domain to
tune filters, gate out the response of fixtures and cables,
characterize the impedance of transmission lines, and
more.
Option 008 Frequency offset mode
Option 008 enables the ENA to set the receiver frequencies
independently from where the source frequency is tuned.
This ability is important for harmonic distortion measure-
ments and for measuring frequency converting devices
such as mixers and converters. Advanced calibration tech-
niques for the ENA, such as scalar mixer calibration (SMC)
or vector mixer calibration (VMC), require this option.
Option 790 Measurement Wizard Assistant
Option 790 provides a simple measurement procedure
setup for the 4-port ENA with a multiport test set such as
the E5092A. The software delivers an easy-to-use mea-
surement wizard programs including a calibration wizard
setup1, which reduces operation time for complicated,
time-consuming multiport measurements.
Time base options
Option UNQ Standard stability time base
Option UNQ provides following stability:
CW accuracy: ±5 ppm (specification)
Source stability: ±5 ppm (5 °C to 40 °C typical)
Option 1E5 High stability time base
Option 1E5 provides the following stability:
CW accuracy: ±1 ppm (specification)
Source stability: ±0.05 ppm (5 °C to 40 °C typical),
± 0.5 ppm/year

1. A sliding load is not supported by the ENA.
2. An offset load is not supported by the ENA.
Measurement Accessories
A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories
is available on our Web site:
www.agilent.com/find/accessories
Accessories are available with the following connector
types: 50 ohm Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm,
1.85 mm, 1.0 mm and waveguide.
Test port cables and a calibration kit/ECal module should
be added for a complete measurement system.
Calibration kits
Coaxial measurements
Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such
as opens, shorts and loads, which are measured by the
network analyzer for increased measurement accuracy.
Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical cali-
bration standards with one solid-state calibration module
that is controlled by the network analyzer via USB. ECal kits
provide many different impedances to the test ports which
enables a full two-port calibration to be performed quickly
with a single connection. This technique reduces operator
errors and connector wear and abrasion.
Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
Economy, includes:
• open standards (male and female)
• short standards (male and female)
• fixed-termination standards (male and female)
Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
• sliding load standards1(male and female) or a series of
offset shorts
Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
• 50 ohm airline(s) for TRL calibration
• TRL adapters
Waveguide measurements
For waveguide measurements, Agilent offers mechanical
calibration kits that include:
• waveguide-to-coax adapters (X, P, K, R, Q, U, and V bands)
• precision waveguide section
• flush short circuit
• fixed terminations2
• straight section
Cables and adapter sets
Agilent offers the following types of cables:
• single cables: semi-rigid or flexible
• cable sets: semi-rigid or flexible
There are also adapter sets that protect the test port
and convert the port to the desired connector interface.
These kits contain:
• one male adapter
• one female adapter
To attain the best mechanical rigidity for device connection,
use a single cable and the appropriate special adapter set.
To attain the greatest flexibility for device connection, use
a cable set.
