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.

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.

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.

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.

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. With SICL/LAN, the analyzer is controlled remotely over the LAN with the same methods used for a local analyzer connected directly to the computer via a GPIB interface.

DCOM Interface

The analyzer's support for DCOM (distributed component object model) over the LAN provides control of the network analyzer using a variety of platforms. DCOM acts as an interface to the analyzer for external applications. With DCOM, applications can be developed or executed from an external computer.

Data accuracy enhancement

calibration mixer is part of the calibration process.

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

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.

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.

System capabilities

Improved graphical user interface

All PNA Series instruments (PNA-X, PNA-L, PNA) now employ the same graphical user interface and front panel layout. In addition, the new touch screen and softkeys make operating the PNA easier than ever.

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.

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.

56

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.

Embedded LO measurements (Option 084)

Advanced software tuning that provides absolute group delay of converters with embedded LOs without the need for access to a common reference signal. The measurement result is the same as locking the DUT to the reference mixer LO. Options 080 and 083 required.

Extended power range and bias-tees (Option UNL)

Adds two 60 dB step attenuators (50 dB for E8361C) 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.

Add receiver attenuator (Option 016)

A 35 dB attenuator with 5 dB steps (50 dB attenuator with 10 dB steps for E8361C only) is added between both test ports and their corresponding receiver. See page 53 for a basic block diagram.

Scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option 082)

With a simple setup and calibration, this application provides the highest accuracy for conversion-loss (or gain) measurements by combining one-port and power-meter calibrations to remove mismatch errors. Option 080 required.

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.

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.

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.

ANSI Z540 compliant calibration (Option A6J)

Complete set of measurements which tests unit to manufacturer’s published specifications. Includes pre and post-adjustment data with measurement uncertainty information compliant to the ANSI/NCSL Z540 standard.

4-port measurement application (Option 550)

Enables full 4-port error correction and differential measurements on a 2-port network analyzer. External test set must be connected. User installable.

N-port measurement application (Option 551)

Enables full N-port error correction and differential measurements on a 2-port network analyzer. External test set must be connected. User installable.
