Keysight Streamline Series VNA

The freedom of portable network analysis doesn’t have to mean a compromise in performance. The B-models of the Keysight Streamline Series VNAs unlock the full performance of the network analyzer hardware with fast measurements over Thunderbolt 3 connections to your host PC. Gain confidence in your measurements with best-in-class performance offering fast, reliable, and repeatable results. Explore the complete characterization of your devices with a rich portfolio of software applications that transform the compact network analyzer into a complete RF measurement solution.
The P50xxB Series offers the performance required for testing passive components, amplifiers, mixers or frequency converters. The vector network analyzer (VNA) provides best-in-class key specifications such as dynamic range, measurement speed, trace noise and temperature stability. Choose from 2- or 4-port models up to 53 GHz, or 6-port models up to 20 GHz.
The P93xxB Series provides excellent performance in general-purpose network analysis for passive components. With software applications like enhanced time domain analysis with TDR and automatic fixture removal, you can easily characterize passive components with the same performance of a benchtop setup. Choose from 2-port models up to 44 GHz or 4-port models up to 20 GHz.
The Streamline Series utilizes the same measurement science as other Keysight VNAs such as the PNA, ENA and PXI VNA. A common software platform makes it easy to choose the right level of performance to match budget and measurement needs. This commonality guarantees measurement consistency, repeatability, and a common remote-programming interface across multiple instruments in R&D and manufacturing.
This configuration guide describes standard configurations, options, accessories, and compatible peripherals for the P93xxB and P50xxB Keysight Streamline Series vector network analyzer (VNA).

The pulse application provides an easy way to set up point-in-pulse measurements with pulse width as narrow as 50 us, and pulse-profile measurements with 1 us minimum timing resolution. Using the built-in pulse modulators, the P50xxB Series VNAs are complete pulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need for external test sets and pulse generators. S97024xB also controls external pulse generators and modulators and can synchronize to external master pulses. Y1731A I/O Adapter Module is recommended to access pulse signals with SMB connectors if using external master pulses or external pulse modulators.
S970240B is available with P50xxB up to 20 GHz (20 GHz models or less), and S970241B is available for P50xxB greater than 20 GHz. Hardware options are not needed for pulsed-RF measurements with P50xxB.
S97024xB is a subset of S97025xB, so they should not be installed together.

Basic Pulsed-RF measurements (S970250B/S970251B)

P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
This application enables internal pulse generators of P500xB or P502xB Series that can be used to control the internal pulse modulators, and it provides an integrated pulse application that uses the wideband-detection method.
S97025xB extends the capabilities of S97024xB and provides an easy way to set up point-in-pulse measurements with pulse width as narrow as 200 ns, and pulse-profile measurements with 40 ns minimum timing resolution.

Noise figure measurements with vector correction (S97029B)

P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
This software 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 Keysight N469xD Series ECal module as a source-impedance tuner1 to remove the effects of imperfect system­source 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. S97029B controls N469xD Series ECal modules configured as impedance tuners for use with the P50xxB Series VNA.
A scalar-calibrated method is also available that offers less accuracy but is faster and does not require an impedance tuner. This method requires an external switch to isolate the P50xxB’s source signal during noise figure measurements. A 50-ohm load must be connected to the DUT’s input using the switch.
The instrument’s standard receivers are used for noise figure measurements with the S97029B. An external preamplifier, filter(s) and switches are required for devices with < 30 dB of excess noise (gain plus noise figure in dB). Y1731A I/O Adapter Module is recommended for synchronized measurements using the P50xxB VNA and external switches. A typical block diagram of vector-calibrated noise figure measurements is shown.
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 a standard receiver for noise figure measurements, a power meter/sensor is required. A 346-serires noise source (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended) can be used for noise calibration of the instrument’s receiver, when a preamplifier is located before the receiver. All calibration accessories and external hardware must be ordered separately.
Noise figure measurements with the P50xxB are verified between 50 MHz and 45 GHz.

Scalar mixer/converter measurements (S97082B)

P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
The S97082B provides frequency offset mode (FOM) to set the frequency of the VNA’s internal source(s) independently from where the receivers are tuned, and to configure external sources using External Device Configuration. This functionality is also included with S97029/083/084/086/087/089/S97090xB.
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. S97082B 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 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.
S97082B is compatible with S97084B, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.

SMC+Phase with the S97083B 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. S97083B is a superset of S97082B, so they should not be installed together. S97083B is compatible with S97084B, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.
1. When a comb generator is used as a phase reference for calibrat ion and the s tart frequency of the
measurement is less than 630 MHz, a user-supplied calibration mixer is required.

Embedded LO capability (S97084B)

P93xxB Series P50xxB Series

Gain compression measurements (S97086B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
The gain compression application (GCA) provides input power, output power, gain, and phase at the compression point of an amplifier or frequency converters, 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.
Intermodulation distortion measurements (S97087B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
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 measurement 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.
The most common method to use S97087B is to use a 4-port P502xB with the internal second source option 402, with each built-in source generating one of the two tones. Any of the remaining ports can be used as the receive port. Alternatively, two cascaded Streamline Series VNAs can be used, with each one generating one of the tones. This scenario requires the S97551B multiple instrument measurements software. An external combiner is required in either case.
To use an external source for the second tone, the Direct Receiver Access (DRA) configuration must be used, which also requires an external dual directional coupler.
Configuration using a 4-port P502xB (left), 6-port configuration using 2-port P500xB and 4-port P502xB (right).
Source phase control (S97088B)

This application allows users to set calibrated, arbitrary phase differences between two internal sources with the P502xB’s option 402 (internal second source option), or multiple instrument measurements using two P50xxB VNAs with S97551B. The phase difference can be fixed or swept between two specified phase values. S97088B also controls the relative power level between the sources using the receiver-leveling feature. S97088B is
Find us at www.keysight.com Page 17
targeted for active-load control, where the analyzer provides a precise, electronically settable impedance to the output port 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.
Differential and I/Q device measurements (S97089B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
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. S97089B works on the P502xB with option 402 (internal second source option), or multiple instrument measurements using two P50xxB VNAs with S97551B.
Spectrum analysis (S97090xB)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
The spectrum analyzer (SA) application adds high-performance microwave spectrum analysis to P50xxB VNAs. 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 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. Accurate and fast noise power ratio (NPR) measurement capability is also included in this software application. It provides the ability of setting up and controlling of external signal generator/arbitrary waveform generators and performing the calibration of the flatness of a wideband signal and distortion signals in notches and achieving very fast NPR measurements. Optional external attenuators should be connected to the VNA’s test ports to avoid receiver compression when measuring large signals. 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: S970900B to 4.5 GHz, S970901B to 6.5 GHz, S970902B to 9 GHz, S970903B to 14 GHz, S970904B to 20 GHz, S970905B to 26.5 GHz, S970906B to 32 GHz, S970907B to 44 GHz, and S970908B to 53 GHz.
True-mode stimulus (S97460B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
The application 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.

Multiple instrument measurements (S97551B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
Keysight Streamline Series VNA offers a capability to extend the number of ports for your measurements by using up to two VNA instruments. The instruments may be identified as one VNA by the firmware on an external host PC. At least one VNA instrument connected to your PC must have one S97551B license to maintain multiport capabilities with multiple instruments.
The frequency of the multiport array is determined by the lowest frequency instrument configured in the array. For example, a 6-port analyzer configuration using a P9372B (9 GHz) and a P9384B (20 GHz) would have a maximum frequency of 9 GHz when performing 6-port measurements. This behavior extends to other measurement application software (S97xxxB). A 4-port analyzer configuration using a P5002B (9 GHz) without SA software and P5004B (20 GHz) with S970904B (SA software up to 20 GHz) would have a maximum frequency of 9 GHz for S-parameter and SA measurements. In a multiport configuration, only one instrument must have a valid license of S97xxxB for these capabilities to function in multiport mode.
Each instrument is connected into the array with Keysight cables. A Y1701A Multiple USB instruments configuration kit must be ordered separately for connection of two 2-port VNA (P937xB or P500xB with Y1701A Option 002) or two 4- or 6-port VNA (P938xB or P502xB with Y1701A Option 002 or 003).
While all models of P937xB and P938xB, or P500xB and P502xB Series can be connected for multiport configurations, P93xxB and P50xxB, P937xA and P93xxB, or P50xxA and P50xxB cannot be combined to configure a multiport VNA due to hardware differences.

Direct Receiver Access (DRA) Configurations

Keysight Streamline Series VNAs support direct receiver access (DRA) configurations to flexibly set up test
1
systems with optimized performance by integrating with external components attenuators, or directional couplers. This function (included in the VNA firmware) combines three physical test ports of the Streamline Series VNA and defines them as a single logical port. You can perform measurements including calibration and post processing using the logical ports.

DRA configuration with high-power

One example using the DRA configuration is S-parameter measurements with high power. When you need an input level higher than the analyzer’s source can provide, pre-amplifiers are necessary to boost the power level prior to the DUT. However, the reference signal is measured before the booster amplifier with a standard configuration of a 2-port VNA, and temperature drift or high reverse isolation of a booster amplifier will prevent accurate reflection measurements of the DUT’s input.
A typical configuration for high-power measurements with the 4-port VNA is shown. A 4-port VNA (ex. P938xB or
2
P502xB with Option 400/402), or a 4-port VNA are needed to setup the DRA configuration on port 1. Reflected and transmitted signals of the DUT are detected with all the logical receivers, and the VNA firmware provides measured high-power S-parameters.
using two 2-port VNAs (ex. P937xB or P500xB with Option 200)
such as booster amplifiers,
External components should be selected based on their high-power limits or frequency range specifications. Be sure that these components can handle the output power level of the booster amplifier.
DRA configurations are supported on all Keysight Streamline Series VNA systems (P93xxA/B and P50xxA/B) that at a minimum have 4-ports, with either 4-ports in one VNA or 4-ports as a result of two VNAs connected together.

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 offset 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 ports. 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, N4430 and N7550 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

Accessories

P93xxB Series
P50xxB Series
CalPod calibration refresh modules (8553xB/4xB)
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 thermal-based 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.
85530B 20 GHz ambient-temperature CalPod
85531B 20 GHz temperature-compensated CalPod
85532B 20 GHz thermal-vacuum compatible CalPod
85540B 40 GHz ambient-temperature CalPod
85541B 40 GHz temperature-compensated CalPod
85542B 40 GHz thermal-vacuum compatible CalPod
85523B CalPod controller (provides control for up to 4 CalPods)
85556A CalPod drive-cable splitter (allows control for up to 12 CalPods)
85554A CalPod drive cable extension (10-meter cascadable extension cable)
