Some Definitions
All specifications and characteristics apply over a
25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and
90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.
Calibration: The process of measuring known
standards to characterize a network analyzer’s
systematic (repeatable) errors.
Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter
that the product is expected to meet before it
leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the
field and is not covered by the product warranty.
A characteristic includes the same guardbands
as a specification.
Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after
error correction (calibration). It is determined
by the quality of calibration standards and how
well “known” they are, plus system repeatability,
stability, and noise.
Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that
does not imply a level of performance. It is not
covered by the product warranty.
Specification (spec.): Warranted performance.
Specifications include guardbands to account for
the expected statistical performance distribution,
measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.
Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this
includes no options unless noted otherwise.
Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average
unit, which does not include guardbands. It is not
covered by the product warranty.
Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected
performance affects the stability of a calibration.

E8362/3/4B
Corrected system performance
The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the Agilent E8362/3/4B PNA Series
microwave network analyzer with the following
conditions:
• 10 Hz IF bandwidth
• no averaging applied to data
• isolation calibration with an averaging factor of 8
Note: Samples of uncertainty curves are included in
this Data Sheet. Please download our free uncertainty
calculator (www.agilent .com/find/na_calculator)
to generate the curves for your setup.
1. The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor
and the source maximum output power. System dynamic range is a specification
when the source is set to port 1, and a characteristic when the source is set to
port 2. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and
interfering signals into account.
2. The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the
test port noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic
range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
3. The direct receiver access input system dynamic range is calculated as the
difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the source
maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainties and interfering signals into account. This set-up should only be used
when the receiver input will never exceed its damage level. When the analyzer is
in segment sweep mode, the analyzer can have pre-defined frequency segments
which will output a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is
required (i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver
damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss). The extended range is
only available in one-path transmission measurements.
4. Typical performance.
5. May be limited to 100 dB at particular frequencies below 500 MHz due to spurious
receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.

Corrected system performance
The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the Agilent E8361A PNA Series
microwave network analyzer with the following
conditions:
• 10 Hz IF bandwidth
• no averaging applied to data
1. The system dynamic range is calculated as the
difference between the noise floor and the source
maximum output power. System dynamic range is a
specification when the source is set to port 1, and a
characteristic when the source is set to port 2. The
effective dynamic range must take measurement
uncertainties and interfering signals into account, as
well as the insertion loss resulting from a thru cable
connected between port 1 and port 2.
2. The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the
difference between the test port noise floor and the
source maximum output power. The effective dynamic
range must take measurement uncertainties and
interfering signals into account, as well as the insertion
loss resulting from a thru cable connected between
port 1 and port 2.
3. The direct receiver access input system dynamic range
is calculated as the difference between the direct
receiver access input noise floor and the source
maximum output power. The effective dynamic range
must take measurement uncertainties and interfering
signals into account. This set-up should only be used
when the receiver input will never exceed its damage
level. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode,
the analyzer can have pre-defined frequency segments
which will output a higher power level when the
extended dynamic range is required (i.e. devices with
high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver
damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss).
The extended range is only available in one-path trans
mission measurements.
4. Typical performance.
5. May be limited to 100 dB at particular frequencies
below 500 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals.
Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.

Group delay

Description Specification Supplemental information (typical)
Aperture (selectable) (frequency span)/(number of points – 1)
Maximum aperture 20% of frequency span
Range 0.5 x (1/minimum aperture)
Maximum delay Limited to measuring no more than 180° of
phase change within the minimum aperture.
1. Group delay is computed by measuring the phase change within a specified
frequency step (determined by the frequency span and the number of points per sweep).
The following graph shows characteristic group
delay accuracy with type-N full 2-port calibration
and a 10 Hz IF bandwidth. Insertion loss is
assumed to be less than 2 dB and electrical length
to be 10 m.
In general, the following formula can be used to
determine the accuracy, in seconds, of a specific
group delay measurement:
±Phase accuracy (deg)/[360 x Aperture (Hz)]
Depending on the aperture and device length, the
phase accuracy used is either incremental phase
accuracy or worse case phase accuracy.

Methods
Controlling via internal analyzer execution
Write applications that can be executed from within
the analyzer via COM (component object model) or
SCPI standard-interface commands. These applications can be developed in a variety of languages,
including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Agilent VEE,
or LabView™ programming languages.
Controlling via GPIB
The GPIB interface operates to IEEE 488.2 and
SCPI standard-interface commands. The analyzer
can either be the system controller, or talker/listener.
Controlling via LAN
The built-in LAN interface and firmware support
data transfer and control via direct connection to a
10 Base-T network.
SICL/LAN Interface
The analyzer's support for SICL (standard instrument
control library) over the LAN provides control of
the network analyzer using a variety of computing
platforms, I/O interfaces, and operating systems.

analyzer for external applications. With DCOM,
applications can be developed or executed from
an external computer. During development, the
application can interface to the analyzer over
the LAN through the DCOM interface. Once
development is completed, the application can
be distributed to the analyzer and interfaced

Microwave PNA Series
Data accuracy enhancement
Measurement calibration
Measurement calibration significantly reduces
measurement uncertainty due to errors caused by
system directivity, source and load match, tracking
and crosstalk. Full two-port calibration removes all
the systematic errors to obtain the most accurate
measurements.
Calibration types available
Frequency response
Simultaneous magnitude and phase correction of
frequency response errors for either reflection or
transmission measurements.
Response and isolation
Compensates for frequency response and directivity
(reflection) or frequency response and crosstalk errors.
One-port calibration
Uses test set port 1 or port 2 to correct for directivity,
frequency response and source match errors.
Two-port calibration
Compensates for directivity, source match, reflection
frequency response, load match, transmission frequency
response and crosstalk. Crosstalk calibration can be
omitted.
Mixer Calibration
Scalar-mixer calibration:
Scalar-mixer calibration corrects the conversion loss
for input port source match, output port load match,
absolute input or source power, and absolute output or
receiver power. Scalar-mixer calibrations also corrects
the input match measurements (S11) for input port
directivity, frequency response and source match at
the input frequencies and corrects the output match
measurement (S22) for output directivity, frequency
response and source match at the output frequencies.
Vector-mixer calibration:
At the input frequencies of the mixer, the vector-mixer
calibration compensates for directivity, source match,
and reflection frequency response. At the output
frequencies of the mixer, the vector-mixer calibration
compensates for directivity, load match, and reflection
frequency response. Frequency-translated transmission
response is compensated by using a characterized
calibration mixer. The characterization of the
calibration mixer is part of the calibration process.
TRL/TRM calibration
Compensates for directivity, reflection and transmission
frequency response and crosstalk in both forward and
reverse directions. Provides the highest accuracy for both
coaxial and non-coaxial environments, such as on-wafer
probing, in-fixture or waveguide measurements.
Interpolated error correction
With any type of accuracy enhancement applied,
interpolated mode recalculates the error coefficients
when the test frequencies are changed. The number of
points can be increased or decreased and the start/stop
frequencies can be changed, but the resulting frequency
range must be within the original calibration frequency.
System performance is not specified for measurements
with interpolated error correction applied.
Velocity factor
Enters the velocity factor to calculate the equivalent
electrical length.
Reference plane extension
Redefine the plane-of-measurement reference to other
than port 1 or port 2.
Storage
Internal hard disk drive
Store and recall binary instrument states and calibration
data on 10 GB, minimum, internal hard drive.
Instrument data can also be saved in ASCII (including
S2P) format. All files are MS-DOS®-compatible.
Instrument states include all control settings,
active limit lines, active list frequency tables,
memory trace data.
Disk drive
Instrument data, instrument states, and calibration
data can be stored on internal 3.5-in, 1.4 MB f loppy
disk in MS-DOS-compatible format.
Data hardcopy
Printouts of instrument data are directly produced
on any printer with the appropriate Windows® 2000
printer driver. The analyzer provides USB, Centronics
(parallel), serial and LAN interfaces.

Microwave PNA Series
System capabilities
Familiar graphical user interface
The PNA Series employs a graphical user interface
based on Windows 2000. There are two fundamental
ways to operate the instrument manually: you can use
a hardkey interface, or use drop-down menus driven
from a mouse (or another standard USB pointing
device). Hardkey navigation brings up active toolbars
that perform most of the operations required to
configure and view measurements. Front-panel
navigation keys allow for use of the instrument
without a mouse. In addition, mouse-driven pull-down
menus provide easy access to both standard and
advanced features. Both methods employ dialog boxes
to display all the choices needed to make measurement
set-ups.
Built-in information system
Embedded documentation provides measurement
assistance in five different languages (English, Chinese,
French, German, Japanese, and Spanish). A thorough
index of help topics and context-sensitive help is
available from dialog boxes.
Limit lines
Define test limit lines that appear on the display for
go/no go testing. Lines may be any combination of
horizontal, sloping lines, or discrete data points.
Time-domain (Option 010)
With the time-domain option, data from transmission
or reflection measurements in the frequency domain
are converted to the time domain using a Fourier
transformation technique (chirp Z) and presented
on the display. The time-domain response shows the
measured parameter value versus time. Markers may
also be displayed in electrical length (or physical length
if the relative propagation velocity is entered).
Time stimulus modes
Two types of time excitation stimulus waveforms can
be simulated during the transformations, a step and
an impulse.
Low-pass step
This stimulus, similar to a traditional time-domain
reflectometer (TDR) stimulus waveform, is used to
measure low-pass devices. The frequency-domain data
should extend from DC (extrapolated value) to a higher
value. The step response is typically used for reflection
measurements only.
Low-pass impulse
This stimulus is also used to measure low-pass devices.
The impulse response can be used for reflection or
transmission measurements.
Bandpass impulse
The bandpass impulse stimulates a pulsed RF signal
(with an impulse envelope) and is used to measure the
time-domain response of band-limited devices. The start
and stop frequencies are selectable by the user to any
values within the limits of the test set used. Bandpass
time-domain responses are useful for both reflection
and transmission measurements.
Time-domain range
The "alias-free" range over which the display is free
of response repetition depends on the frequency span
and the number of points. Range, in nanoseconds, is
determined by: Time-domain range =
(number of points - 1)/frequency span [in GHz]
Range resolution
The time resolution of a time-domain response is
related to range as follows: Range resolution =
time span/(number of points - 1)
Windows
The windowing function can be used to modify
(filter) the frequency-domain data and thereby reduce
over-shoot and ringing in the time-domain response.
Kaiser Beta windows are available.
Gating
The gating function can be used to selectively remove
reflection or transmission time-domain responses. In
converting back to the frequency-domain the effects of
the responses outside the gate are removed.
57
Configurable test set (Option 014)
With the configurable test set option, front panel
access loops are provided to the signal path between
the source output and coupler input.
Extended dynamic range configuration
Reverse the signal path in the coupler and bypass the
loss typically associated with the coupled arm. Change
the port 2 switch and coupler jumper configurations to
increase the forward measurement dynamic range. When
making full two-port error corrected measurements, the
reverse dynamic range is degraded by 12 to 15 dB.
High power measurement configuration
Add external power amplifier(s) between the source
output and coupler input to provide up to +30 dBm
of power at the test port(s). Full two-port error
correction measurements possible. When the DUT
output is expected to be greater than +30 dBm, measure
directly at the B input and use an external fixed or
step attenuator to prevent damage to the receiver.
For measurements greater than +30 dBm, add external
components such as couplers, attenuators, and isolators.
Extended power range and bias-tees (Option UNL)
Adds two 60 dB step attenuators (50 dB for E8361A) and
two bias-tees. A step attenuator and bias-tee set is inserted
between the source and test port one and another set
between the source and test port two.
Frequency-offset (Option 080)
This option enables the PNA Series microwave network
analyzers to set the source frequency independently from
where the receivers are tuned. This ability is important
for two general classes of devices: mixers (and converters)
and amplifiers. For frequency-translating devices like
mixers or converters, frequency-offset capability is necessary for conversion loss/gain measurements (both
amplitude and phase), since, by definition, the input and
output frequency of the DUT are different. For amplifier
measurements, frequency offset capability is required to
measure amplifier harmonics or when using the internal
source as one of the stimuli of an IMD measurement.
Option 080 provides a very basic user interface. The user
may enter multiplier and offset values to describe how
the instrument’s receivers track the source frequency.
While flexible, the user interface requires the user to
calculate the correct values. The frequency-converter
application (Option 083) provides a much more intuitive
and easy-to-use user interface, designed specifically for
mixer and converter measurements.
Reference channel switch (Option 081)
Option 081 adds a solid-state internal RF transfer switch
in the R1 reference-receiver path. The switch allows the
instrument to easily switch between standard S-parameter (non-frequency-offset) measurements and frequencyoffset measurements such as relative phase or absolute
group delay that require an external reference mixer.
The user can set the switch manually or remotely, but it
is best used with the frequency-converter application
(Option 083), where it is controlled automatically during
the vector-mixer calibration procedure.
58
IF Access (Option H11)
Provides hardware to enable antenna, point-in-pulse,
and pulse-profile measurements, as well as broadband
millimeter-wave measurements to 110 GHz, and banded
millimeter-wave measurements to 325 GHz. For each of
the microwave PNA’s measurement receivers, IF gates
(enabled with pulsed-RF measurement capability
Option H08) and external IF inputs are added. In
addition, access to the PNA’s internal RF and LO sources
is provided for remote-mixing applications. For basic
antenna measurements, only Option H11 is necessary.
Pulsed-antenna applications also require the pulsedmeasurement capability (Option H08). Millimeter-wave
measurements also require an N5260A millimeter-wave
test set controller.
Pulsed-RF measurement capability (Option H08)
Provides software to set up and control pulsed-RF
measurements with point-in-pulse and pulse-profile
capability. The software sets the coefficients of the
PNA’s digital-IF filter to null out unwanted spectral
components, enables the IF gates provided with IF
access (Option H11), and controls the Agilent 81110A
family of pulse generators. The software can be run on
the PNA or an external computer, and a “.dll” file
containing the IF-filter algorithm is included for
automated pulsed-RF testing.
Frequency-converter application (Option 083)
The frequency-converter application adds an intuitive
and easy-to-use user interface, advanced calibration
choices that provide exceptional amplitude and phase
accuracy, and control of external signal sources for use
as local oscillators. A graphical set-up dialog box lets you
quickly set up the instrument for single or dual
conversion devices. This set-up screen also helps you
calculate and choose where mixing and image products
will fall.
Add receiver attenuator (Option 016)
A 35 dB attenuator with 5 dB steps (50 dB attenuator
with 10 dB steps for E8361A only) is added between
both test ports and their corresponding receiver. See
page 53 for a basic block diagram.
Extended memory (Option 022)
More RAM is added for a total of 512 MB.
Commercial calibration certificate with test data (Option UK6)
Complete set of measurements which tests unit to
manufacturer’s published specifications. Includes
calibration label, calibration certificate, and data report.
Conforms to ISO 9001.
ISO 17025 compliant calibration (Option 1A7)
Complete set of measurements which tests unit to
manufacturer’s published specifications. Includes
calibration label, ISO 17025 calibration certificate, and
data report, measurement uncertainties and guardbands
on all customer specifications. Conforms to ISO 17025 and
ISO 9001.
