What is the power of a PNA network analyzer at start-up or preset?
At preset, the source power level of the MW PNA port 1 is set to a nominal level (see Table 3), with the internal source attenuator on port 1 set to 0 dB. The port 2 power is off. On the PNA analyzers, only one port is on at a time. If the amplifier under test could be damaged by this power level, or will be operating in its nonlinear region, do not connect the amplifier until you have set a desirable power level. On the MW PNAs, you can save a user preset with different initial power setting conditions. Upon preset, the MW PNA starts with the new power levels.
