This is a complete list of the technical specifications for the N5241A, N5242A, and N5249A with the following
Notes
Specifications for the N5241AS, N5242AS, and N5249AS Option H85, when configured in standard configuration,
are the same as those of closest N5241A, N5242A, and N5249A option configuration.
The Corrected System Performance with Cal Kits and Dynamic Accuracy Charts apply ONLY N5241A, N5242A, and
N5249A models with serial numbers starting with MY5241/42/49, SG5241/42/49, and US5241/42/49, and above.
This document provides technical specifications only for the 85052B calibration kit, the N4433A 4-Port ECal module,
and the N4691B 2-Port ECal module. Please download our free Uncertainty Calculator from
http://www.agilent.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.
options:
Option 029, adds hardware and firmware for high-accuracy noise figure measurements. It requires one of option 219,
224, 419, or 423. See the block diagram.
Option 200, 2-port standard test set (includes six front-panel access loops) and power range. See the block diagram.
Option 219, adds 2-port extended power range, source and receiver attenuators, and bias-tees (requires Option 200). See
the block diagram.
Option 224, adds an internal second source, a combiner, and mechanical switches to the 2-port analyzer (requires
Option 200, 219, and 080). See the block diagram.
Option 400, 4-port standard test set (includes twelve front-panel access loops), power range, and an internal second
source (Option 080 recommended). See the block diagram.
Option 419, adds 4-port extended power range, source and receiver attenuators, and bias-tees (requires Option 400). See
the block diagram.
Option 423, adds an internal combiner, and mechanical switches to the 4-port analyzer (requires Option 400, 419, and
080). See the block diagram.
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.
6
Corrected System Performance
The specifications in this section apply for measurements made with the N5241A, N5242A, and N5249A analyzer with
the following conditions:
10 Hz IF bandwidth
No averaging applied to data
Isolation calibration with an averaging factor of 8
Source in filtered mode where applicable
System Dynamic Range and Receiver Dynamic Range
System Dynamic Range is defined as the max leveled output power (spec) minus the noise floor (spec).
Extended Dynamic Range at Direct Access Input is defined as the specified source maximum output power
(typical) minus the direct receiver access input noise floor (typical).
Receiver Dynamic Range is defined as the test port compression at 0.1 dB (typical) minus the noise floor (typical).
Note
The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account.
The direct receiver access input extended dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the direct receiver
access input noise floor and the source maximum output power. This set-up should only be used when the receiver
input will never exceed its maximum receiver input. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode, it can have
predefined 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 the maximum receiver input level will occur (i.e. devices
with low insertion loss). The extended range is only available in one-path transmission measurements.
It may typically be degraded at particular frequencies below 500 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals.

Limited by 0.1 dB receiver compression. Applies to devices with bandwidth < 400 MHz. For devices with higher
bandwidths, calculate the DUT output noise power as -174 dBm + 10*log10(B) + Gain (dB) + NF (dB), where B is the
bandwidth of the DUT in Hz, and use the Max Input Power specification.

Derived from ensuring < 0.25 dB compression with a CW signal 5 dB higher than the stated max input power value for
0.1 dB compression. Referenced to test port 2.

Dynamic Accuracy
Table 30. Dynamic Accuracy - Specification
Standard receiver accuracy of the test port input power reading relative to the reference input power level. It is verified
with the following measurements:
Compression over frequency
IF linearity at a single frequency of 1.998765 GHz using a reference level of -20 dBm for an input power range
of 0 to -60 dBm. For value below -60 dBm, refer to “VNA Receiver Dynamic Accuracy Specifications and
Uncertainties”.
Applies to N5249A (all serial numbers) and N5241A, N5242A with following serial numbers:
N5241A and N5241AS: MY5241/SG5241/US5241 and above

Accuracy
See graph below. Char.
The following graph shows characteristic group delay accuracy with full 2-port calibration and a 10 Hz IF bandwidth.
Insertion loss is assumed to be < 2 dB and electrical length to be ten meters.
For any Sij Group Delay measurement, Sii = 0, Sij = 1, Sji = 0, Skl = 0 for all kl ij
In general, the following formula can be used to determine the accuracy, in seconds, of specific group delay
measurement:
±Phase Accuracy (deg)/[360 × Aperture (Hz)]
Depending on the aperture and device length, the phase accuracy used is either incremental phase accuracy or
worst-case phase accuracy.

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).
