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).

Measurement Application Software
Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that series, while gray series name with
strikethrough indicates the feature is not available with that series. For example:
P50xxB Series: Available with P500xB or P502xB Series
P93xxB Series: Not available with P937xB or P938xB Series
Automatic fixture removal (S97007B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
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 fixture 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 ENA, PNA, PXI VNA, Streamline Series VNA, ADS, and PLTS.
Time domain analysis (S97010B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
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 fixtures and cables, characterize the impedance of transmission
lines and more.
Enhanced time domain analysis with TDR (S97011B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
This application enables the analyzer to perform enhanced time domain analysis for high-speed data
applications. All functionalities of the S97010B are included (TDR/TDT mode). In addition, the S97011B enables
more detailed measurements and evaluations, such as eye-diagram/mask modes, without adding PLTS
software. Jitters and/or emphasis/equalization capabilities enables simulation of real-world signals and
environment. S97011B covers up to 53 GHz bandwidth with 8.42 psec rise time. Full calibration is available and
automatic deskew ensures easy removal of fixture and probe effects. To get the best accuracy, mechanical
calibration kits or ECal with DC option (i.e. N443xD or N469xD with Option 0DC) are recommended.

Real time S-parameter and power measurement uncertainty (S97015B)
P93xxB Series P50xxB Series
This application provides uncertainties for both S-parameter and power measurements on the P50xxB. The realtime display of the uncertainty associated with power and S-parameter traces increases the confidence in the
reproducibility of measurements. This allows users to implement pass/fail tests easily because now the
instrument quantifies the gray region that is in between a full pass or a full fail, apply more realistic limit lines
which can increase the production yield and reduce the defect percentage on the finished products. This
application easily establishes a metric to quantify the quality of the measurement process, so your company’s
quality control procedures are simplified. It includes the uncertainty information for most Keysight calibration kits
and provides national metrology institute traceability through Keysight’s calibration kits. This application also
helps you to include uncertainty information for your product’s specifications and data sheets.
Basic Pulsed-RF measurements lite (S970240B/S970241B)
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.
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. Using the built-in pulse modulators with pulse width as narrow as 1 us, the P50xxB Series
VNAs are complete pulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need for external test sets and pulse
generators. Examples of pulse modulation shapes with 1 us and 100 us pulse width using the internal pulse
modulators are included in P50xxB data sheet (3121-1235). S97025xB 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.
S970250B is available with P50xxB up to 20 GHz (20 GHz models or less), and S970251B is available for
P50xxB greater than 20 GHz. Hardware options are not needed for pulsed-RF measurements with P50xxB.
