2. For N522xB and N5241/42/49B, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47B with Option 029,
an internal tuner is included. Noise calibration requires a power meter when using a standard receiver. When using the low-noise receiver (Option 029),
either a power meter or a 346-series noise source is required (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). A power meter is required for measuring mixers
and converters.
3. A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements to connect a reference mixer, or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based
calibration. When ordered with PNA test set Options 200, 210, 400, or 410 (no front-panel jumpers), phase and delay measurements can only by done using
SMC+Phase with a calibration mixer.

PNA-X Series Test Set and Power Configuration Options
The PNA-X is an integrated vector network analyzer featuring
a built-in S-parameter test set, one or two synthesized sources
used for device stimulus, a solid-state drive, USB interfaces,
and a 12.1” LCD touch screen display. The N5241B, N5242B, and
N5249B have 50 ohm, ruggedized 3.5 mm (m) test ports. The
N5244B and the N5245B have 50 ohm, ruggedized 2.4 mm (m)
test ports. The N5247B has 50 ohm, ruggedized 1.85 mm (m)
test ports. Included with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard
(U.S. style), and one day of on-site productivity assistance
(PS-S20-PNA).
A test set and power configuration option is mandatory, choose
one of the following:
2-ports, single source, with configurable test set
(Option 201)
The standard 2-port test set comes with six front-panel access
loops. The loops provide access to the signal path between (a)
the source output and the reference receiver, (b) the source
output and directional coupler thru arm and (c) the coupled arm
of the directional coupler and the port receiver. The standard
test set also includes a solid-state internal RF bypass switch in
the R1 reference-receiver path.
2-ports, single source, with extended power
range (Option 217)
This configuration comes with front-panel access loops, and
source and receiver attenuators at each port. The source attenuators are settable in 5 dB steps up to 65 dB in N5241/42/49B,
and in 10 dB steps up to 60 dB in N5244/45B. The receiver
attenuators are settable in 5 dB steps up to 35 dB. The maximum
power rating on the test port couplers is +43 dBm (additional
attenuators or isolators are typically required to protect other
components inside the instrument). Option 217 is not available on
the N5247B.

1. The block diagrams shown above include hardware that must be ordered
as separate options, such as pulse modulators (Options 021 and 022),
and IF access (Option 020), or is controlled by application soft ware, as
is the case for the pulse generators. In addition, the combiner type and
attenuator values var y by model number. Refer to the product data sheet
for the correct block diagram for a specif ic model.
2-ports, single source, with extended power
range and bias-tees (Option 219)
This configuration comes with front-panel access loops, and
bias tees and source and receiver attenuators at each port. The
source attenuators are settable in 5 dB steps up to 65 dB in
N5241/42/49B, in 10 dB steps up to 60 dB in N5244/45B, and in
10 dB steps up to 50 dB in N5247B. The receiver attenuators are
settable in 5 dB steps up to 35 dB in N5241/42/44/45/49B, and
10 dB steps up to 50 dB in N5247B. The bias tees are connected
directly to the test port couplers, which limits the maximum power
rating on the pair to +30 dBm (additional attenuators or isolators
are typically required to protect other components inside the
instrument).
PNA-X Series Test Set and Power Configuration Options1 (continued)
2-ports, dual sources, with extended power
range, combiner, and mechanical switches
(Option 222)
Along with the access loops and attenuators of Option 217,
Option 222 includes an internal second source, a combiner,
mechanical switches, and more access loops. The internal
second source provides an additional signal (fixed or swept) for
two-tone intermodulation testing of amplifiers, or for use as a
local oscillator for testing mixers and frequency converters. The
mechanical switches switch the combiner in and out as needed,
as well as enabling the additional access loops for advanced
configurations. The second source is available through two
RF connectors on the front panel, from port 1 when combined
with source 1, or via rear-panel access loops. The maximum
power rating on the test port couplers is +43 dBm (additional
attenuators or isolators are typically required to protect other
components inside the instrument). Option 222 is not available

PNA-L Series Test Set and Power Configuration Options
The PNA-L is an integrated vector network analyzer featuring a
built-in S-parameter test set, one synthesized source used for
device stimulus, a solid state drive, USB interfaces, and a 12.1”
LCD touch screen display. The N5239B, N5231B and the N5232B

N5235B have 50 ohm, ruggedized 2.4 mm (m) test portcluded
with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard (U.S. style). For one
day of on-site productivity assistance (not included with instrument purchase), request quantity 1 each PS-S20-PNA.
A test set and power configuration option is mandatory. Choose
one of the following:
2 ports, single source, base configuration
(Option 200)
The 2-port with base configuration has no front-panel access loops.
2 ports, single source, with configurable test set
and source attenuators (Option 216)
The 2-port test set comes with a configurable test set and source
attenuator at each por t. The configurable test set adds six frontpanel access loops. The loops provide access to the signal path
between (a) the source output and the reference receiver, (b) the
source output and directional coupler thru arm, and (c) the coupled
arm of the directional coupler and the port receiver at all ports.

thru arm at all ports, and (c) the coupled arm of the directional
coupler and the port receiver at all ports. The source attenuator
is settable in 10 dB steps up to 60 dB. This configuration is
available only on the N5231B and N5232B.
Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that
series, while gray series name with strikethrough indicates the
feature is not available on that series. For example:
Many devices do not have coaxial connectors and are put in fixtures
in order to measure them in a coaxial environment. Accurately
removing the effects of the fix ture is required to get a good
measurement of the device under test (DUT). This application adds
a powerful application wizard to guide you through characterizing
a fixture and removing it from the measurement. Devices can
be single ended or differential. Files can be saved in a variety of
formats for later use in PNA, ADS, and PLTS.
Time domain analysis (S93010A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application enables the analyzer to view reflection and transmission responses in time or distance. Use time domain to tune
filters, gate out the response of fix tures and cables, characterize
the impedance of transmission lines and more. If eye-diagram
analysis, W-element modeling or high-speed interconnect testing
is required, PLTS N1930B software must be used.
Enhanced time domain analysis with TDR
(S9 3011A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application enables the analyzer to perform enhanced time
domain analysis for high-speed data applications. All
functionality of the S93010A are included (TDR/TDT mode). In
addition, the S93011A enables more detailed measurements and
evaluations, such as eye-diagram/mask modes, without adding
enables simulation of real-world signals and environment. The
S93011A covers up to 67 GHz bandwidth with 6.66 psec rise
time. Full calibration is available and the automatic deskew
ensures easy removal of fixture and probe effects. To get the
best accuracy, mechanical calibration kits or E-cal with DC
option are recommended. S93011A does not work with low
frequency extension option (LFE) enabled on N5222B/27B-205
and N5242B/45B/47B -42 5.
Dynamic uncertainty for S-parameter measurements (S93015A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This enables the analyzer to display the measurement
uncertainty dynamically (real-time) on the same screen as the
measurement trace and get more reliable uncertainty estimation.
Uncertainty of a calibration standard, noise in measurements,
cable, and connector repeatability are included and this function
is compatible with the current Keysight Uncertainty Calculator.
Frequency offset measurements (S93080A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application enables the analyzer to set the frequency of
the internal sources independently from where the receivers
are tuned, and is required to configure an ex ternal source using
External Device Configuration. This ability is important for
measuring amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters. The
functionality provided by S93080A is also included with S93029/
082/083/084/086/087/089/090x/093/094A or S94510/511A.
With a simple setup and calibration, this application delivers the
highest accuracy for scalar conversion-loss/gain measurements
by combining one-port and power-meter calibrations to remove
mismatch errors. S93082A provides an intuitive and easy-to-use
user interface for setting up mixer and converter measurements,
with single or dual conversion stages. It can control the analyzer’s
built-in source(s) as well as external signal generators for use as
LO signals. Supported external sources include the Keysight ESG,
PSG, EXG, and MXG Series, as well as other SCPI-controlled signal generators. S93082A is a subset of S93083A, so they should
not be installed together. S93082A is compatible with S93084A,
which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.
1. When a comb generator is used as a phase reference for calibration and
the start frequency of the measurement is less than 55 MHz, a usersupplied calibration mixer is required. For measurements between
50 GHz and 67 GHz, an additional high-pass filter is required (two backto-back Keysight V281A waveguide-to-coax adapters recommended;
must be ordered separately).
This application includes the scalar mixer/converter plus phase
(SMC+Phase) measurement class that provides fully calibrated
conversion gain/loss, relative phase, and absolute group delay
measurements of mixers and converters without the need for
reference or calibration mixers. Eliminating the calibration
mixer requires a U9391C/F/G comb generator1 and an external
DC power supply capable of sourcing +15 V and 300 mA for
U9391C/F or 800 mA for U9391G. A vector mixer/converter
measurement (VMC) class is also included for measuring the
phase dif ference between multiple paths or devices, or for
measuring phase shif ts within a device. Using VMC or the combgenerator-based calibration for SMC+Phase requires an instrument with a configurable test set (i.e., has front-panel RF loops).
For units without front-panel loops, SMC+Phase can be used with
a calibration mixer supplied by the user. S93083A provides an
intuitive and easy-to-use user interface for setting up mixer and
converter measurements, with single or dual conversion stages.
It can control the analyzer’s built-in source(s) as well as external
signal generators for use as LO signals. Supported external
sources include the Keysight ESG, PSG, EXG, and MXG Series,
as well as other SCPI-controlled signal generators. S93083A is
a superset of S93082A, so they should not be installed together.
S93083A is compatible with S93084A, which enables measure-
ments of converters with internal LOs.
Embedded LO capability (S93084A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application tunes the analyzer’s receivers to the output
frequency of the converter under test without the need for
access to internal LOs or a common reference signal. S93084A is
intended to work with S93029/082/083/086/087A measurement
applications.
Gain compression measurements (S93086A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
The gain compression application (GCA) provides input power,
output power, gain, and phase at the compression point of an
amplifier or frequency converter, over a specified frequency
range. GCA's SMART Sweep is very fast and easy-to-use. GCA
also includes a guided calibration that corrects for absolute
power levels, frequency response, and mismatch errors.
The intermodulation distortion (IMD) application makes it very
easy to set up and calibrate swept-IMD measurements of both
amplifiers and frequency converters. It controls the frequency
and power of internal and external sources and tunes the receivers
to the main tones as well as the IMD products in a single measure
ment channel. The user can sweep either the center frequency of
the two stimulus signals, the frequency spacing of the two stimulus
signals about a fixed center frequency, or the power of one or both
stimulus signals or the power of the LO signal. The analyzer can
measure intermodulation distortion products of order 2, 3, 5, 7,
or 9, and can display the associated intercept points. In addition,
an IM Spectrum mode gives a spectrum-analyzer-like display
for confirming or trouble-shooting measurements. Not available
with PNA Options 200, 210, 400 and 410. When configured with a
2-port PNA or 2-port PNA-X with either Option 201, 217, or 219,
an external signal generator and a combiner are required. When
configured with a 4-port PNA or 4-port PNA-X with Option 401,
417, or 419, the two internal sources and an unused test port
coupler configured as a combiner can be used for two-tone IMD
measurements. When configured with PNA-X Option 22x or 42x,
the two internal sources and internal combiner can be used for
two-tone IMD measurements.
Source phase control (S93088A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application allows users to set calibrated, arbitrary phase
differences between two signal sources. The sources can be the
analyzer’s internal sources or external signal generators routed
through the analyzer’s test set. The phase difference can be
fixed, or swept between two specified phase values. Option 088
also controls the relative power level between the sources using
the receiver-leveling feature. Option 088 is targeted for active-
load control, where the analyzer provides a precise, electronically
settable impedance to the output por t of a device, while gain and
output power are measured. This capability can be combined
with external load-pull software to create traditional load-pull
power contours. Not available with PNA Options 200 and 210.
Differential and I/Q device measurements (S93089A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application combines source-phase control of multiple
internal or external sources with frequency-offset mode, enabling
simplified test of I/Q modulators/converters and differential
mixers, and harmonic measurements of differential amplifiers.
The phase difference between sources can be fixed (for example,
at 90 or 180 degrees), or swept between two specified phase
values. Providing accurate control of the relative phase between
sources eliminates the need for hybrid couplers and baluns to
create quadrature or differential signals. After achieving the
desired phase alignment, the instrument’s receivers can be tuned
to all frequencies needed to characterize the DUT. On an I/Q
modulator for example, measurements can be made of both the
desired and suppressed conversion bands, along with LO leakage,
harmonics and other spurious signals. Phase sweeps can be used
to determine a DUT’s phase imbalance versus frequency. Users
can specify measurements with individual receivers or multiple
receivers combined with a wide range of mathematical operators.
Power measurements can employ match correction for increased
accuracy. S93089A only works on 4-port PNA or PNA-X models.
Solid black series name indicates the feature is available
on that series, while gray series name with strikethrough indicates
the feature is not available on that series. For example:
PNA: Available on PNA Series
PNA: Not available on PNA Series
Spectrum analysis (S93090xA)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
The spectrum analyzer (SA) application adds high-performance
microwave spectrum analysis to PNA-X, PNA, and PNA-L Series
network analyzers. With fast stepped-FFT sweeps resulting from
optimized data processing, the SA application provides quick
spurious searches over broad frequency ranges. Simultaneous
spectrum measurements can be done using up to five test and
reference receivers. This multi-channel SA can be used with the
internal swept-signal generators for efficient measurements of
spurious signals emanating from mixers and frequency converters.
The SA application employs source-power and receiver-response
calibration as well as fixture de-embedding, providing in-fixture
and on-wafer spectrum measurements with the highest level
of accuracy. It is recommended to use this option with PNA or
PNA-X instruments with internal receiver attenuators to avoid
receiver compression when measuring large signals. For use with
PNA-L models, test set option 216 or 416 is recommended so that
external attenuators can be connected via the front-panel jumpers
to avoid receiver compression. The upper frequency range of the
SA application is determined by the installed SA license or the
stop frequency of the instrument, whichever is smaller. There are
several frequency choices intended for standalone instruments:
S930900A to 8.5 GHz, S930901A to 13.5 GHz, S930902A to 26.5
GHz, S930904A to 43.5 GHz, S930905A to 50 GHz, and S930907A
to 67 GHz. Intended for use with analyzers configured with
broadband or banded millimeter-wave extenders, several more
choices are available: S930909A to 90 GHz, S93093A to 120 GHz,
and S93094A for frequencies above 120 GHz.
S93094A has all of the capability of the S93090xA spectrum analyzer application, with an upper frequency limit determined solely
by the broadband or banded millimeter-wave frequency extenders
used in the system. With this configuration, the analyzer’s internal
receiver attenuators are not in the receiver paths, so they cannot
be used to reduce signal levels. External attenuators may be
required to avoid compressing the receivers in the millimeter-wave
frequency extenders. When using S93094A for millimeter-wave
spectrum analysis, an N5261/62A or an N5292A millimeter-wave
controller is required. When S93094A is installed on a standalone
network analyzer, it will provide spectrum analysis up to the
frequency limit of the instrument.
Active hot parameters (S93110A/S93111A)
PNA-X PNAPNA-L
Active hot parameters allows the PNA-X Series a more accurate
method for testing Hot S-parameter, gain and output power than
traditional methods by utilizing the X-parameter technology.
It removes active device and system interaction to precisely
calculate the active parameters and output power into a nominal
50 Ω environment. The advanced theory removes system-tosystem correlation problems. It also provides coefficients of
equation to calculate linear and non-linear device performance
of gamma-opt (optimum), optimal load match and maximum
delivered power to optimum load. Total 14 traces (parameters)
are available with various sweep types, such as frequency sweep,
power sweep, or two-dimensional frequency and power sweep.
Requires 4-port option configuration 401, 417, 419, 422, 423 or
425. LFE function is not available when using on Option 425.
S93110A is export-controlled and operates up to the PNA-X’s
highest frequency. S93111A is not export-controlled and operates
up to 50 GHz on the N5247B.
True-mode stimulus (S93460A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
Spectrum analysis, up to 120 GHz (S93093A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
S93093A has all of the capability of the S93090xA spectrum
analyzer application, with an upper frequency of 120 GHz. It is
intended for analyzers configured with broadband or banded
millimeter-wave frequency extenders, using a millimeter-wave
controller. With this configuration, the analyzer’s internal receiver
attenuators are not in the receiver paths, so they cannot be used
to reduce signal levels. External attenuators may be required to
avoid compressing the receivers in the millimeter-wave frequency
extenders. When using S93093A for millimeter-wave spectrum
analysis, an N5261/62A or an N5292A millimeter-wave controller
is required. When S93093A is installed on a standalone network
analyzer, it will provide spectrum analysis up to the frequency limit
of the instrument.
S93460A provides mismatch-corrected true-mode (true differential mode and true common mode) stimulus and enables accurate
balanced measurements under real operating conditions. It also
provides balanced measurements with forward-only sweeps,
reverse-only sweeps, and frequency or power sweeps with
arbitrary phase and amplitude offsets. S93460A only works on
4-port PNA or PNA-X models.
1. When configuring N524xB as a multipor t analyzer using S93551A and a
multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 22x or 42x is temporarily
disabled. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature
is enabled. When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit.
Refer to page 28 Multiport Measurements section for more details.
SS93551A adds a multiport analyzer mode, which enables full
N-port error correction and measurement capabilities using
an external test set. Only the standard measurement class is
available in the multiport analyzer mode. Not available with PNA
Options 200, 210, 400 and 410. For multiport analysis greater
than 8 ports, it is highly recommended to use N1930B PLTS
software to manage the large data files that grow exponentially
(12 port S-parameter files have 144 S-parameter elements).

Noise figure options and applications
Add low-noise receiver (Option 029)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option adds a low-noise receiver to the PNA-X to provide
wideband noise figure and noise-power measurements on
a broad range of devices. The noise receiver has three gain
settings, and contains the necessary filters to eliminate
out-of-band noise conversion. For N5241/42/49B instruments,
Option 029 adds a mechanical switch at port one to allow use
of an external ECal module as an impedance tuner to provide
high-accuracy noise figure measurements. For N5244/45/47B
instruments, Option 029 adds a built-in impedance tuner at port
one with a bypass switch. The noise receiver start frequency is
10 MHz and for N5241/42/44/45/49B instruments, it works up to
the stop frequency of the instrument. For N5247B instruments,
the low-noise receiver and tuner work up to 50 GHz only. For
noise figure measurements between 50 and 67 GHz, any of the
standard network analyzer receivers can be used. Option 029 is
intended for use with S93029A sof tware. Without the software,
the noise hardware cannot be utilized.
If S93029A is used on a PNA-X configured with Option 029, then
it makes full use of the built-in low-noise receiver. Optionally,
noise figure measurements can be made using the standard
receivers for high-gain (> 60 dB), narrowband devices that
might otherwise overload the low-noise receiver, or for noise
figure measurements between 50 and 67 GHz on the N5247B. If
running on a PNA, a PNA-X without Option 029, or for measurements up to 67 GHz, then the instrument’s standard receivers
are used. For those cases, an external preamplifier and filter(s) is
required for devices with < 30 dB of excess noise (gain plus noise
figure in dB) up to 20 GHz, < 40 dB up to 50 GHz, or < 45 dB up to
67 GHz. Instruments with front panel jumpers are recommended
as they provide a convenient spot for adding a preamplifier and

Keysight N46902 Series ECal modules configured as impedance
tuners for use with N522xB PNA models or N5241/42/49B PNA-X
models, or a built-in tuner for N5244/45/47B PNA-X models with
Option 029.
For calibration, a standard mechanical cal kit or ECal module is
required for the S-parameter portion of the cal (an ECal used as a
tuner cannot be shared for calibration). To calibrate the low-noise
receiver, either a noise source (346C or 346C-K01 recommended)
or power meter is required. To calibrate a standard receiver
for noise figure measurements, a power meter is required. For
measurements of mixers and converters, a power meter is always
required, independent of whether a noise source or power meter
is used to calibrate the noise receiver. All calibration accessories
must be ordered separately.
Noise figure measurements with vector correction
(S93029A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This sof tware application enables high-accuracy noise figure and
noise-power measurements of amplifiers, frequency converters,
and mixers, utilizing Keysight’s unique vector-source-correction
technique that uses a source-impedance tuner to remove the
effects of imperfect system-source match. This approach yields
accuracy that surpasses that provided by the Y-factor method
and other cold-source implementations, especially for in-fixture,
on-wafer, and automated-test environments. A scalar-calibrated
method is also available that offers less accuracy, but is faster
and does not require an impedance tuner.

another is used only during calibration. A comb generator is also
used to characterize the VNA receivers for delay measurements
of frequency converters using PNA-X or PNA instruments and the
SMC+Phase measurement class (part of S93083A).
CalPod calibration refresh modules allow in-situ calibration
refreshes to be performed at the push of a button without removing the DUT or re-connecting calibration standards. CalPods
are designed for any measurement situation where it is desirable
to ensure that a valid calibration is present before recording
measurement data. For example, they are useful for removing
environmental effects such as cable movement and thermalbased changes of cables, connectors, and adapters, as well as
connector and switch-matrix repeatability errors. The modules
are especially useful in temperature, or thermal-vacuum chamber
testing. CalPod modules are equipped with 2.92 mm connectors.

Signal integrity measurements
N1930B Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) Sof tware
The PLTS sof tware platform has become an industry standard for
calibration, measurement, and analysis of linear passive interconnects such as cables, connectors, backplanes, and printed circuit
boards. Utilizing either a vector network analyzer (VNA) or a time
domain reflectometer (TDR), fast and accurate measurements
can be obtained without in-depth knowledge of microwave
measurement techniques. Refer to www.keysight.com/find/plts
or the technical overview (literature number 5989-6841EN) for
more details.
Multiport measurements
Multiport test sets are designed to work with the PNA family
of network analyzers to provide a single set of connections to
devices with more than four ports. Test sets come with different
port counts and frequency ranges, and are built to work with
2- or 4-port network analyzers. They are configured as switching
or extension test sets, using electro-mechanical or solid-state
switches.
Test set types: switching and extension
Switching test sets provide an economical solution for RF
applications. They are connected directly to the test ports of the
VNA, and a group of test ports share the directional couplers
and receivers in the VNA. Extension test sets are connected to
the sources and test receivers through the configurable test
set of the VNA. They feature a directional coupler for every test
port, and all switching occurs behind the directional couplers,
providing the ultimate in flexibility, stability, and performance for
RF and microwave applications.
Switch types: electro-mechanical and
solid-state
Electro-mechanical switches have less insertion loss, higher
power handling, and a more linear response compared to solidstate switches. They are recommended for testing active devices,
high-power devices, and devices that require wide dynamic
range. However, they have limited switching life (mostly 5 million
cycles) and long setting times. In contrast, solid-state switches
have unlimited switching life, very fast switching speed, and
excellent repeatability. Thus, they are often used for high-volume
S-parameter measurements of passive devices.
Test set model number
Multiport test set model numbers represent the type of test set;
note the numbering scheme below.
Note that there are some test sets that do not follow this numbering scheme such as U3022AE10, U3025AE06,
and U3025AE10, which use solid-state switches, and U3022AS66, which includes 1x6 switching test set and six
calibration distribution ports.
One of the following test set options must be selected.
Standard configuration (Option 700)
– The standard configuration is the basic test set configuration,
which does not include signal conditioning devices such as
amplifiers.
Add amplifiers for improved dynamic range (Option 001)
– Option 001 adds an amplifier between each test port coupler
and the receiver switch to improve system dynamic range. It
is primarily offered for test sets with solid-state switches, to
compensate for insertion loss.
Add amplifiers and bias-tees (Option 002)
– Option 002 adds an amplifier between each test port coupler
and the receiver switch to improve system dynamic range,
and adds bias-tees for all test por ts on the test set as well as
the analyzer. It is primarily of fered for test sets with solidstate switches to compensate for insertion loss.
Millimeter-wave measurements
N5290/91A single-sweep millimeter-wave
solutions
PNA (N522xB) and PNA-X (N524xB) network analyzers can
be transformed into single-sweep solutions that operate from
900 Hz to 110 GHz (N5290A), or up to 120 GHz with over-range
capability to 125 GHz (N5291A). The N5290/91A solutions come
fully configured around the PNA /PNA-X network analyzers,
and include a millimeter-wave test set controller (N5292A),
frequency-extender modules (N5293/95AXxx), and the necessary
cables to allow users to make either 2- or 4-port measurements
over the entire frequency range. The broadband N5290/91A
millimeter-wave solutions provide high-performance measurement capability complimented by measurement applications
from the PNA/PNA-X that include pulsed-RF, gain compression,
4-port true-differential, scalar mixer/converter measurements,
and spectrum analysis.
Interface kits
The interface kit includes a set of semi-rigid RF jumper cables and
two pairs of rear locking feet that connect and lock the analyzer
and the test set together. When ordering a multiport test set, the
analyzer that is used with the test set must be specified to add
one of the following interface kits. The availability depends on
the test set model. There are following three interface kit models
based on the jumper connector layouts on the test set. Therefore,
only one interface kit model (“PX”, “PN”, or “PL”) is available
on each test set. Each interface kit model has one digit suffix
indicating the connector type; 1 for 1.85 mm, 2 for 2.4 mm and 3
for 3.5 mm (or SMA).

Banded waveguide solutions to 1.5 THz
Banded waveguide millimeter-wave solutions cover waveguide
bands from 50 GHz to 1.5 THz. A 2- or 4-port PNA or PNA-X in
conjunction with an N5292A millimeter-wave controller (with
either a 2- or 4-port option), provides complete millimeter-wave
solutions. These systems are configured with a PNA or PNA-X
which has IF inputs (Option 020), and a configurable test set
(one of Options 201/217/219/222/224/401/417/419/422/423. In
addition, frequency-offset capability is required from one of software models S93029/080/082/083/084/086/087/089/090x/
093/094A. When configured with the N5292A millimeter-wave
controller, a special cable adapter will be required to connect the
RF, LO, and IF signals from the banded millimeter-wave extenders
to the controller. A separate DC power supply is also required to
power the frequency extenders.
For a complete list of millimeter-wave products and options, and
ordering instructions, please refer to the N5290/91A MillimeterWave Network Analyzer Configuration Guide (5992-2179EN),

and convert the port to the desired connector inter face. 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.
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.
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 standards (male and female) or a series of of fset
shorts
Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
– 50 Ω airline(s) for TRL calibration
– TRL adapters
Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibration standards with one solid-state calibration module that is
controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present many
different impedances to the test por ts. A full two-port calibration
can be performed quickly with a single connection. This technique reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.
For more information about ECal modules, refer to the technical
overview 5963-3743E (N4690, 85090, and N4430 Series).
Waveguide measurements
For waveguide measurements, Keysight offers mechanical
calibration kits that include:
– waveguide-to-coax adapters (X, P, K, R, Q, U, V)
– precision waveguide section
– flush short circuit
– fixed terminations
– straight section
