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
CAUTION
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 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.
The Agilent Z5602A Precision Power Reference is a portable 50 MHz sine wave source that
requires a very short warm-up time. Traditionally, the process to determine the amplitude
accuracy of a source used to calibrate a device under test (DUT) involved power meter
measurements and associated calculations to determine the uncertainty of the power
meter, the interconnect cables and the VSWR effects of the power meter/source and
source/DUT. The Agilent Z5602A Precision Power Reference can achieve the same
accuracy as the calibration source built into a power meter, and mates directly with the
Type-N female connectors on the spectrum analyzer inputs. The Precision Power Reference
greatly reduces the measurement uncertainties mentioned above.
The Precision Power Reference is available in three different connector types: 2.5 mm,
3.5 mm and Type-N (m). Additionally, the Type-N version has 3 different power levels:
0 dBm, −25 dBm and −30 dBm. Each Precision Power Reference has a power cable that can
be directly connected to the probe power outlet (−12.6V, +15V) on a spectrum analyzer or
other instruments with the probe power feature.
The small size and portability of the Precision Power Reference increases the potential for
use in automated production test systems.
Verifying the Shipment
Verify that you have received the proper option items listed in Table 1. Inspect the
shipping container. If the container or packing material is damaged, it should be kept until
the contents of the shipment have been checked mechanically and electrically. If there is
physical damage refer to “Contacting Agilent Sales and Service Offices” on page 12. Keep
the damaged shipping materials (if any) for inspection by the carrier and an
Agilent Technologies representative.

Z5602A Option H24/H35/H50/H51/H52Connecting the Precision Power Reference
Connecting the Precision Power Reference
1. Turn On the spectrum analyzer.
2. Connect the Precision Power Reference to the RF Input connector.
3. Connect the probe power cable from the reference to the probe power output connector.
Refer to Figure 1.
4. Perform a factory Preset on the spectrum analyzer so that it is in a known state.
The PSA Series spectrum analyzer requires the Z5602A Option H24/H35/H50/H51 or H52
when adjusting the amplitude of the internal 50 MHz reference.
The following example illustrates how the Option H51 version of the Precision Power
Reference can be used to verify the amplitude accuracy of the Agilent E4440A Spectrum
Analyzer at 50 MHz.
Verify that the spectrum analyzer has been turned On for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Typeface Key Conventions
The following key conventions are used throughout this document.
• [HARDKEYS] are labeled front panel keys
• SOFTKEYS are unlabeled key whose function is indicated on the instrument display
Adjustment Procedure
Perform the following front panel keystrokes on the spectrum analyzer.
1. Press [SYSTEM] > Alignments > Align All Now to trigger an alignment on the
spectrum analyzer.
2. Connect the Precision Power Reference to the spectrum analyzer as shown in Figure 1
on page 3.
3. To view the Precision Power Reference signal, set the spectrum analyzer controls as
follows:
b. Compare the signal amplitude displayed on the spectrum analyzer to the power level
shown on the calibration sticker attached to the Precision Power Reference. For
example; the spectrum analyzer marker value may be −25.07 dBm and the
calibration sticker on your Precision Power Reference may indicate −25.009 dBm.
Therefore, the spectrum analyzer amplitude error is −0.061 dB.
1. The recommended cal cycle on the Agilent Z5602A Precision Power Reference is 1 year.
