Active Component Evaluation and Test

Measurement challenges

Keysight vector network analyzers can be used to characterize and test active components, such as amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters. They can easily measure commonly specified amplifier parameters such as gain, gain and phase compression, isolation, return loss, and group delay. Harmonic distortion is often used to understand an amplifier’s nonlinear behavior, and requires the receiver to be tuned at a different frequency from the source. Frequency-translating devices, such as mixers and frequency converters present unique measurement challenges because their input and output frequencies are dif ferent. Network analyzers used for testing these devices need to have a frequency-of fset mode (FOM) to detect output frequencies different from the input. Additional instruments and signal conditioning devices may be required for testing with two-tone, higher input and output power, or for other types of measurements including noise figure, ACPR, and EVM. As a result, the test system becomes complicated or requires multiple stations.

Passive Component Evaluation and Test

Measurement challenges

For quality communications systems, high performance passive devices such as filters, combiners, switches, and transmission lines often require low ripple and low insertion loss in the pass band, and high rejection ratios in the stop band. Devices are sometimes used in balanced circuits and therefore have multiple input and output ports that complicate measurement-system configurations. For these devices, the key measurement challenge is to easily get accurate data, as fast as possible. Wide measurement-frequency range is required to characterize multi-band operation.

Our solutions

Manufacturing

Measurement challenges

Driving down the cost of test is the key challenge in manufacturing, and there are multiple factors that influence this. One key factor is throughput. The measurement time of a VNA can be divided into several dif ferent contributions such as sweep speed, data analysis, display processing, and data transfer. In many cases, the analyzer must send pass/fail results to an automated system. The sweep speed and data-analysis speed are critical for high-volume manufacturing. Being able to minimize the amount of operator intervention, as well as connection and calibration times will also affect measurement throughput. Initial procurement cost, system uptime, maintenance costs, and future performance upgrade costs for test stations also affect total cost of ownership.

Our solutions

Installation and Maintenance

Measurement challenges

Network analyzer measurements made in the field are fundamentally similar to measurements in the lab users need to test S-parameters of devices such as cables and filters to determine their performance. The main difference is the requirements placed on the network analyzer hardware. Portability is a big challenge in the field. Carrying benchtop instruments on a cart or trying to fit a benchtop instrument in a tight space like an aircraft is difficult. Locating AC power can also be difficult, so a por table and battery-operated analyzer is often vital for field test. In addition, while indoor temperatures may be fairly stable, the weather conditions outdoors are quite variable, so the equipment has to be designed to handle these changes. Any VNA used outdoors also has to be rugged, as it is moved around of ten. Finally, the measurements made in the field need to match the measurements made in the lab, and have similar accuracy.

Antenna receiver

PNA

Keysight Technologies provides many of the components you need to make accurate antenna and radar cross-section (RCS) measurements. The N5264B PNA-X measurement receiver is a dedicated antenna receiver with 400,000 point-per-second data acquisition on all five measurement channels. The N5264B provides twice as many receivers compared to any other antenna receiver on the market. The N5264B is compatible with MXG or PSG signal generators, the 85309B distributed frequency converter, and 85320A/B mixers. The receiver and an MXG source can completely replace the 8530A and 8360B sources for existing antenna ranges and typically results in a system-speed improvement that is 10 times faster. Additionally, the built-in 8510x/8530A code-emulation software provides a drop-in replacement for existing antenna ranges utilizing an 8530A. The N5264B is supported by major antenna-system integrators such as Microwave Vision Group, Nearfield Systems Inc., ETS-Lindgren, and the System Planning Corporation.
