Notes This document provides technical specifications for the 85052B calibration kit, N4691B ECal module, and N4433A ECal module.

Please download our free Uncertainty Calculator from http://www.keysight.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for your calibration kit and PNA setup.

For all tables in this data sheet, the specified performance at the exact frequency of a break is the degraded value of the two specifications at that frequency.

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.

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.

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.

Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic (repeatable) errors.

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.

Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration.

Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise.

Standard and LFE measurements: With option 205, which adds low frequency extension (LFE) hardware, the LFE

measurement range overlaps with the standard measurement range from 10 MHz to 100 MHz. With LFE Enabled, measurements from 500 Hz to 100 MHz use LFE hardware. With LFE Disabled, measurements from 10 MHz to 100 MHz use standard hardware. To measure below 10 MHz, LFE must be enabled. All measurements above 100 MHz use standard hardware, regardless of the LFE Enabled/Disabled setting.

Dynamic Range

The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the N5221B and N5222B PNA network analyzers with the following conditions:

▪ 10 Hz IF bandwidth ▪ No averaging applied to data ▪ Isolation calibration with an averaging factor of 8

▪ System Dynamic Range is defined as the specified source maximum output power (A) minus the specified

noise floor (B).

▪ Extended Dynamic Range at Direct Access Input is defined as the specified source maximum output power

(A) minus the specified direct receiver access input noise floor (not shown).

▪ Receiver Dynamic Range is defined as the typical test port 0.1 dB compression (C) minus the typical noise

floor (D).

Effective dynamic range is when the crosstalk is greater than the noise floor, and thus crosstalk limits the dynamic range.

Crosstalk only limits the dynamic range for IF bandwidths < 1 kHz.
