Migration from 8510/8530 based antenna systems to PNA network analyzer based systems

Table 3 shows the various system components of 8510/8530 based antenna systems and their recommended replacement components. While the components listed are recommended replacements, some interface requirements are different. Refer to the

“Antenna measurement design considerations” section on page 12 for interface requirements.
