N-port capabilities

1. For N522xA and N5241/42/49A, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47A with Option 029, an internal tuner is included. For calibration, Option 028 requires a power meter, and Option 029 requires either a power meter or a 346-series noise source (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). All options require a power meter for measuring mixers and converters.

2. Option 080 is required to configure an external source using Ex ternal Device Configuration dialog.

3. Option 082 is a subset of Option 083; therefore, they cannot be ordered together.

4. A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements (to connect a reference mixer) or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based

calibration. When ordered with N522x A-200, -210, -4 00 and -410, Option 083 adds phase and delay measurements only by using SMC+Phase with a calibration mixer.

5. Option 087 can be ordered without N524x A-224 or N524xA-423, but may require external equipment such as a signal generator and a combiner. Refer to page 13 for more details.

6. When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit. Refer to page 22 Multiport Measurements section for more details.

7. When configuring N524xA as a multiport analyzer using Option 551 and a multipor t test set, the combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily

disabled. When configuring N524x A as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled.

8. The Windows 7 upgrade kit for PNAs containing CPU version 6 is model N8983A. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive with all of the necessary software installed. For units with older CPUs, order the N8984A with Option PC7. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive and a version 7 CPU. For adding Option 090 to units with DSP version 4, add Option SP5 to the N8983A or N8984A order to get the DSP version 5.

9. Option 093 is a subset of 094; therefore they cannot be ordered together.

The N5241A, N5242A, and N5249A have 50 ohm, ruggedized 3.5 mm (m) test ports. The N5244A and the N5245A have 50 ohm, ruggedized 2.4 mm (m) test ports. The N5247A has 50 ohm, ruggedized 1.85 mm (m) test ports. Included with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard (U.S. style), and one day of on-site productivity assistance (PS-S20-PNA).

A test set and power configuration option is mandatory, choose one of the following:

2-port standard test set and power range (Option 200)

The standard 2-port test set comes with six front-panel access loops. The loops provide access to the signal path between (a) the source output and the reference receiver, (b) the source output and directional coupler thru arm and (c) the coupled arm of the directional coupler and the port receiver. The standard test set also includes a solid-state internal RF transfer switch in the

R1 reference-receiver path.

High-power configurable and extended power range (N524xAS Option H85/285)

With extended power range and bias-tees (Option 219), the internal bias-tees limit the maximum test port input power to +30 dBm. The N524xAS Option H85/285 removes the bias-tees between the source attenuators and the test port couplers. This extends the maximum port power that the analyzer can safely handle to +43 dBm. Selecting OptionH85/285 adds internal attenuators and cables. The N524xAS Option H85/285 and Option 219 can not be ordered together. Option H85/285 is not available for the N5249A or the N5247A. When ordering, select N524xAS then add items N524xAS-H85, N524xAS-285 and N524xA-200.

Extended power range and bias-tees (Option 219)

Adds to the standard test set one 65 dB for N5241/42/49A, 60 dB for N5244/45A, and 50 dB for N5247A source attenuator (set table in 5 dB increments for N5241/42/49A and 10 dB increments for N5244/45/47A), one 35 dB receiver attenuator (settable in 5 dB increments) for N5241/42/44/45/49A and 50 dB receiver attenuator (settable in 10 dB increments) for N5247A, and one bias-tee to each test port. Option 219 requires Option 200.

Add an internal second source, a combiner

and mechanical switches to 2-port analyzer (Option 224)

Available with 2-port model only, this option adds an internal second source, a combiner and mechanical switches. The internal second source provides an additional signal (fixed or swept) for two-tone third-order-intercept (TOI) and intermodulation testing of amplifiers, or it can be used as a fast swept-LO signal for fixed-IF testing of mixers and converters. The mechanical switches provide increased flexibility by having rear panel access (front panel access for N5247A Source 1 and 2 Out 1) to signal paths for advanced applications. Access to the second source is available through two output connectors on the front panel. Requires Options 200, 219 and 080.

1. The block diagrams shown above include hardware that must be ordered as separate options, such as pulse generators (Option 025), pulse modulators (Options 021 and 022), and IF access (Option 020). In addition, the combiner type and at tenuator values vary by model number. Refer to the product data sheet for the correct block diagram for a specific model.

4-port standard test set, power range and an

internal second source (Option 400)

The standard 4-port test set comes with 12 front-panel access loops and a built-in second source. The loops provide access to the signal path between (a) the source output and the reference receiver, (b) the source output and directional coupler thru arm and (c) the coupled arm of the directional coupler and the port receiver. The internal second source provides an additional signal (fixed or swept) for two-tone third-order-intercept (TOI) and intermodulation testing of amplifiers, or it can be used as a fast swept-LO signal for fixed-IF testing of mixers and converters. With two sources, source 1 is accessible through test ports 1 and 2, and source 2 is accessible through test ports 3 and 4. The standard test set also includes a solid-state internal RF transfer switch in the R1 reference-receiver path. Option 080 is recommended.

Extended power range and bias-tees (Option 419)

Adds to the standard test set one 65 dB for N5241/42/49A, 60 dB for N5244/45A, and 50 dB for N5247A source attenuator (settable in 5 dB increments for N5241/42/49A and 10 dB increments for N5244/45/47A), one 35 dB receiver attenuator (settable in 5 dB increments) for N5241/42/44/45/49A and 50 dB receiver attenuator (settable in 10 dB increments) for N5247A, and one bias-tee to each test port. Option 419 requires Option 400.

Add an internal combiner and mechanical switches to 4-port analyzer (Option 423)

High-power configurable and extended power range (N524xAS Option H85/485)

With extended power range and bias-tees (Option 419), the internal bias-tees limit the maximum test port input power to +30 dBm. The N524xAS Option H85/485 removes the bias-tees between the source attenuators and the test port couplers. This extends the maximum port power that the analyzer can safely handle to +43 dBm. Selecting Option H85/485 adds internal attenuators and cables. The N524xAS Option H85/485 and Option 419 can not be ordered together. Option H85/485 is not available for the N5249A or the N5247A. When ordering, select N524xAS then add items N524xAS-H85, N524xAS-485 and N524xA-400.

Available with 4-port model only, this option adds a combiner and mechanical switches. The mechanical switches provide increased flexibility by having rear panel access (front panel access for the N5247A Source 1 and 2 Out 1) to signal paths for advanced applications. Requires Options 400, 419 and 080.

PNA Family Application Options

Measurement applications

Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that series, while gray series name with strikethrough indicates the feature is not available on that series. For example;

PNA: Available on PNA Series

PNA: Not available on PNA Series

Automatic fixture removal (Option 007) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

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 option 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 PNA, ADS, and PLTS. Requires Windows 7 OS.

Time domain (Option 010)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option 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. If eye-diagram analysis, W-element modeling or high-speed interconnect testing is required, PLTS N1930B sof tware must be used.

Frequency offset (Option 080)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option enables the analyzer to set the source frequency independently from where the receivers are tuned, and is required to configure an external source using External Device Configuration. This ability is important for measuring amplifiers, mixers, and frequency conver ters.

Scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option 082)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

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. Option 082 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 ex ternal signal generators for use as LO signals. Supported external sources include the Keysight ESG, PSG, and MXG Series, as well as other SCPI-controlled signal generators. Option 082 requires Option 080, and cannot be ordered with Option 083. It is compatible with Option 084, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.

Vector- and scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option 083)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This application includes the scalar mixer/converter plus phase (SMC+Phase) measurement class that provides fully calibrated conversion gain/loss, relative phase, and absolute group delay measurements of mixers and converters without the need for reference or calibration mixers. Eliminating the calibration mixer requires a U9391C/F/G comb generator and an external DC power supply capable of sourcing +15 V to 300 mA for U9391C/F or 800 mA for U9391G1. A vector mixer/converter measurement (VMC) class is also included for measuring the phase dif ference between multiple paths or devices, or for measuring phase shifts within a device. Using VMC or the comb-generator-based calibration for SMC+Phase requires an instrument with a configurable test set (i.e., has front-panel RF loops). For units without front-panel loops, SMC+Phase can be used with a calibration mixer supplied by the user. Option 083 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 ex ternal signal generators for use as LO signals. Supported external sources include the Keysight ESG, PSG, and MXG Series, as well as other SCPI-controlled signal generators. Option 083 requires Option 080, and cannot be ordered with Option 082. It is compatible with Option 084, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.

1. When a comb generator is used as a phase reference for calibration and the start frequency of the measurement is less than 55 MHz, a usersupplied calibration mixer is required. For measurements between 50 GHz and 67 GHz, an additional high-pass filter is required (two backto-back Keysight V281A waveguide-to-coax adapters recommended; must be ordered separately).

Page 13Find us at www.keysight.com

Embedded LO measurements (Option 084) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option tunes the analyzer’s receivers to the output frequency of the conver ter under test without the need for access to internal LOs or a common reference signal. For converters with embedded LOs, this option requires Option 082 (enables match-corrected conversion loss/gain measurements) or Option 083 (enable absolute group delay measurements). This option also works with Option 086 gain compression application, Option 087 intermodulation distortion application, and Option 028/029/H29 noise figure applications.

Gain compression application (Option 086)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

The gain compression application (GCA) provides input power, output power, gain, and phase at the compression point of an amplifier or frequency converter, 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 application (Option 087) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

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. In addition, an IM Spectrum mode gives a spectrum-analyzer-like display for confirming or trouble-shooting measurements. Requires Option 080. Not available with PNA Options 200, 210, 400 and 410. When configured with a 2-port PNA or 2-por t PNA-X with either Option 200 or 219, an external signal generator and a combiner are required. When configured with a 4-port PNA or 4-port PNA-X with Option 400 or 419, the two internal sources and an unused test port coupler configured as a combiner can be used for two-tone IMD measurements. When configured with PNA-X Option 224 or 423, the two internal sources and internal combiner can be used for two-tone IMD measurements.

Source phase control (Option 088)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option allows users to set calibrated, arbitrary phase differences between two signal sources. The sources can be the analyzer’s internal sources or external signal generators routed through the analyzer’s test set. The phase difference can be fixed, or swept between two specified phase values. Option 088 also controls the relative power level between the sources using the receiver-leveling feature. Option 088 is targeted for activeload 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. Not available with PNA Options 200 and 210.

Differential and I/Q devices application (Option 089)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option combines source-phase control of multiple internal or external sources with frequency-offset mode, enabling simplified test of I/Q modulators/converters and dif ferential 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. Option 089 only works on 4-port PNA or PNA-X models, and requires Option 080 and Windows 7 OS.

Measurement applications (continued)

Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that series, while gray series name with strikethrough indicates the feature is not available on that series. For example;

PNA: Available on PNA Series

PNA: Not available on PNA Series

Spectrum analyzer (Option 090)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

The spectrum analyzer (SA) option adds high-per formance microwave spectrum analysis to the PNA-X, PNA, and PNA-L Series. With fast stepped-FFT sweeps due to optimized data processing, the SA option provides quick spurious searches over broad frequency ranges. Option 090 enables spectrum measurements with the test receiver at each test port, and a reference receiver (two reference receivers for 2-port configuration) simultaneously. This multi-channel SA used with the internal swept-signal generators allows efficient spurious analysis of mixers and converters. The SA option employs source power and receiver response calibration as well as fixture de-embedding, providing in-fixture or on-wafer spectrum measurements with the highest level of accuracy. Requires Option 080, Windows 7 OS, and DSP version 5. It is recommended to use this option on instruments with receiver attenuators to avoid receiver compression when measuring large signals.

Extended spectrum analyzer to 110 GHz (Option 093) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option extends the spectrum analyzer (Option 090) upper frequency to 110 GHz, when the analyzer is configured with broadband or banded millimeter-wave frequency extenders, using a millimeter-wave controller. With this configuration, the analyzer’s internal receiver attenuators are not in the receiver paths, so they cannot be used to reduce signal levels. External attenuators may be required to avoid compressing the receivers in the millimeterwave frequency extenders. Requires Option 090, and either an N5261A or N5262A millimeter-wave controller. Option 093 is a subset of option 094; therefore they cannot be ordered together.

Extended spectrum analyzer above 110 GHz

Active Hot Parameters (Option 110/111)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

Active Hot Parameters for PNA-X Series provides a more accurate method to test Hot S-parameter, gain and output power than traditional methods by utilizing the X-parameter technology. It removes the active device and system interaction to precisely calculate the active parameters and output power into a nominal 50 Ω environment. The advanced theory removes system-to-system correlation problems. It also provides coefficients of equation to calculate linear and non-linear device performance of gammaopt (optimum), optimal load match and maximum delivered power to optimum load. A total of 14 traces (parameters) are available with various sweep types, such as frequency sweep, power sweep, or two-dimensional frequency and power sweep. Requires Option 080. Requires PNA-X models 4-port Option 400, 400/419, or 400/419/423 configuration. Option 110 is export-controlled and operates up to the PNA-X’s highest frequency. Option 111 is not export-controlled and operates up to 50 GHz on the N5247A.

Integrated true-mode stimulus application (Option 460) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

Integrated true-mode stimulus application (iTMSA) provides mis-match-corrected true-mode (true differential mode and true common mode) stimulus and enables accurate balanced measurements under real operating conditions. iTMSA also provides balanced measurements with forward-only sweep, reverse-only sweep, and frequency or power sweep with arbitrary phase and amplitude off-sets. Requires one of Options 400, 401, 410, 417, 419 and 423.

N-port capabilities (Option 551)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

Adds a multiport analyzer mode, which enables full N-port error correction and measurement capabilities using an external test set. Only standard measurement class is available in the multi-port analyzer mode. Not available with PNA Options 200, 210, 400 and 410. For multiport analysis greater than 8 ports, it is highly recommended to use PLTS software N1930B to manage the large data format files that easily grow exponentially (12 port S-parameter files have 144 S-parameter elements).

(Option 094) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option extends the spectrum analyzer (Option 090) upper frequency to 110 GHz and beyond, when the analyzer is configured with broadband or banded millimeter-wave frequency extenders, using a millimeter-wave controller. With this configuration, the analyzer’s internal receiver attenuators are not in the receiver paths, so they cannot be used to reduce signal levels. External attenuators may be required to avoid compressing the receivers in the millimeter-wave frequency extenders. Requires Option 090, and either an N5261A or N5262A millimeter-wave controller. Option 094 is a superset of option 093; therefore they cannot be ordered together.

1. When configuring N524x A as a multipor t analyzer using Option 551 and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily disabled. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled. When ordering a test set, select an appropriate inter face kit. Refer to page 22 Multipor t Measurements section for more details.

2. Only N4690 Series ECal modules are suppor ted for use as an impedance tuner.

Noise figure measurements using standard receivers (Option 028) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option adds firmware for high-accuracy noise figure measurements of amplifiers, frequency conver ters, and mixers using the analyzer’s standard receivers, and utilizing Keysight’s unique source-correction technique. Using an Keysight ECal module configured as an impedance tuner (N4691B/93A/94A-M0F recommended; must be ordered or supplied separately2), the effects of imperfect system-source match are removed, greatly improving the accuracy of the cold-source technique. This approach surpasses the accuracy provided by the Y-factor method and other cold-source implementations. A scalar calibration choice is also available that of fers less accuracy but is faster and does not require the external ECal module used as an impedance tuner. For calibration, a power meter and separate ECal module or mechanical calibration kit is required (must be ordered or supplied separately). An external preamplifier and filter(s) is required for devices with < 30 dB of excess noise (gain plus noise figure in dB) up to 20 GHz, < 40 dB up to 50 GHz, or < 45 dB up to 67 GHz. Front panel jumpers provide a convenient spot for adding a preamplifier and filter for low gain, low noise figure devices. Not available with N522xA-200 and -400.

as an impedance tuner. For calibration of the noise receiver, Option 029 requires a power meter or a 346 series noise source (346C or 346C-K01 recommended). For measurements of mixers and converters, a power meter is always required. The noise source and power meters are only used during calibration of the analyzer, and must be ordered or supplied separately. During the S-parameter portion of the noise calibration, a separate ECal module or mechanical calibration kit is required (also must be ordered or supplied separately). Option 029 also allows noise figure measurements using the standard receivers for high-gain (> 60 dB), narrowband devices that might otherwise overload the low-noise receiver, or for noise figure measurements up to 67 GHz on the N5247A1.

Fully-corrected noise figure measurements (Option 029) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option adds a low-noise receiver and firmware to the PNA-X1 for high-accuracy noise figure measurements of amplifiers, frequency converters, and mixers, utilizing Keysight’s unique source-correction technique. Using an Keysight ECal module configured as an impedance tuner for N5241/42/49A (3.5 mm N4691B-M0F recommended; must be ordered or supplied separately2), or a built-in tuner for N5244/45/47A, the effects of imperfect system-source match are removed, greatly improving the accuracy of the cold-source technique. This approach surpasses the accuracy provided by the Y-factor method and other cold-source implementations. A scalar calibration choice is also available that offers less accuracy but is faster, and for N5241/42/49A, does not require the external ECal module used

1. For N5247A, the low-noise receiver works up to 50 GHz only

Add pulse modulator to internal second source (Option 022) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source2 Out1. Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator. Option 224 or 400 is required for PNA-X, and one of Option 400, 401, 417, or 419 is required for PNA.

Add four internal pulse generators (Option 025)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option enables four internal pulse generators. These pulse generators can be used to control the internal pulse modulators and internal receiver IF gates, and are also available on pins 10 through 13 of the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer to control external modulators and/or gates. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external pulse modulators.

Pulse I/O D-sub connector (DB-15 female)

Fast CW Sweep (Option 118)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option uses FIFO (first-in first-out) to allow external pointtrigger acquisition of 400,000 data points per second on five measurement receivers. When enabled, there is no display update, no background computation, or other interference from the vector network analyzer application. All the data gathered is placed into a 500 million points FIFO buffer. While the data is going into FIFO it can be read from the FIFO buffer.

Add pulse modulator to internal first source (Option 021) PNA-X PNA PNA-L

This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source1 Out1. Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.

The U9391C/F/G provides precision phase calibration, traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard. It is used for nonlinear measurements with the PNA-X nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA). NVNA requires two comb generators, one is connected during measurements and another is used only during calibration. A comb generator is also used to characterize the VNA receivers for delay measurements of frequency converters using PNA-X or PNA with Option 083.

Comb generator enables vector-corrected measurements at fundamental and harmonic frequencies

CalPod calibration refresh module (8553xB/4xA)

PNA-X PNA PNA-L

CalPods allow in-situ calibration refreshes to be performed at the push of a button without removing the DUT or connecting calibration standards. CalPods are useful in any measurement situation where it is desirable to have assurance that a valid calibration is present before recording measurement data. Some of the measurement applications where CalPods have proven useful are as follows:

– Thermal-vacuum testing – Temperature chamber testing – Measurement of low-loss devices – Applications that require frequent re-calibrations – Applications that have complex and lengthy calibrations,

such as multi-port measurements

– Measurement of cables installed in aircraft – Removing switch matrix repeatability errors – Removing switch and connector repeatability errors in

complex ATE test systems

1. For measuring frequency converters, Option 0 82 or 083 is required.

2. Requires configurable test set for signal conditioning of noise figure measurements using standard receivers. Therefore it is not available with N522 xA-200, -210,

-40 0 and -410.

3. Upgrading N5244A units with noise figure hardware requires serial-number pref ixes of 520 4 or higher, and upgrading N5245A units requires serial-number prefixes of 5205 or higher. For these two models, units with lower serial-number prefixes can be traded in for credit towards a new unit with the noise figure hardware.

4. Two-tone signal must be routed to R1 receiver af ter an external combiner; therefore it is not available with N522xA-200, -210, -400 and -410.

5. When used with an external signal generator, configurable test set is required to access a receiver. Therefore it is not available with N522x A-200 and -210.

6. To connect a multiport test set, configurable test set is required. Therefore it is not available with N522x A-200, -210, -400, -410, and N523x A-200, and -400.

7. The Windows 7 upgrade kit for PNAs containing CPU version 6 is model N8983A. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive with all of the necessar y sof tware

installed. For units with older CPUs, order the N8984A with Option PC7. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive and a version 7 CPU. For adding Option 0 90 to units with DSP version 4, add Option SP5 to the N8983A or N8984A order to get the DSP version 5.

8. A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements (to connect a reference mixer) or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based calibration. When ordered with N522x A-200, -210, -400 and -410, Option 083 adds phase and delay measurements only by using SMC+Phase with a calibration mixer.

9. Optional receiver attenuators are recommended to avoid receiver compression for large-signal measurements.

Applications

Material measurements

85070E High-Temperature Dielectric Probe Kit

The 85070E enables measurements of the dielectric properties of materials quickly and conveniently. Measurements made with this probe are nondestructive and require no sample preparation. The dielectric probe is well suited for measurements of liquid, semisolid and flat solid materials. Measurement results can be viewed in a variety of formats (ε’r, ε”r, tan δ or Cole-Cole). The supplied software can be run in the PNA analyzer or on a PC.

85071E Materials Measurement Software

The 85071E materials measurement software calculates the permittivity and permeability of material samples placed in a coaxial airline or a rectangular waveguide. The measurement technique works well for solid materials that can be machined to fit precisely inside a transmission line. Measurement results can be viewed in a variety of formats (ε’r, εr, µ’r, µ”r, tan δ, or Cole-Cole µ). The software can be run in the PNA analyzer or on a PC.

Signal integrity measurements

N1930B Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) Software The PLTS sof tware platform has become an industry standard for calibration, measurement and analysis of linear passive interconnects such as cables, connectors, backplanes and printed circuit boards. Utilizing either a vector network analyzer (VNA) or a time domain reflectometer (TDR), fast and accurate measurements can be obtained without in-depth knowledge of microwave measurement techniques. Refer to www.keysight.com/find/plts or the technical overview, literature number 5989-6841EN for more details.

Multiport measurements

Multiport test sets are designed to work with the PNA family of network analyzers to provide network analysis with a single set of connections for devices that have multiple ports. The test sets are configured in a variety of ways, for extension or switching, electro-mechanical or solid-state switches, number of test ports, frequency range, and 2- or 4-ports, depending on your analyzer.

Test set types: switching and extension test sets

Switching test sets provide an economical solution for RF applications. They are connected directly to the test ports of the VNA, and a group of test ports share the directional couplers and receivers in the VNA. An extension test set is connected to the sources and test receivers through the configurable test set of the VNA. It features a directional coupler for every test port and all switching occurs behind the directional couplers, which provides the ultimate in flexibility, stability, and performance for RF and microwave applications.

Switch types: electro-mechanical and solid-state switches

Electro-mechanical switches have less insertion loss, higher power handling, and a more linear response compared to solidstate switches. They are recommended for testing active devices, high-power devices, and devices that require wide dynamic range. However, they have limited switching life (mostly 5 million cycles) and long setting times. In contrast, solid-state switches have unlimited switching life, very fast switching speed and excellent repeatability. Thus, they are often used for high-volume S-parameter measurements of passive devices.

Test set model number

Multiport test set model numbers represent the type of test set; note the numbering scheme below.

Note that there are some test sets that do not follow this numbering scheme such as U3022AE10, U3025AE06, and U3025AE10, which use solid-state switches, and U3022AS66, which includes 1x6 switching test set and six calibration distribution ports.

Page 25Find us at www.keysight.com

Test set options

One of the following test set options must be selected. Standard configuration (Option 700)

– The standard configuration is the basic test set configuration,

which does not include signal conditioning devices such as amplifiers.

Add amplifiers for improved dynamic range (Option 001)

– Option 001 adds an amplifier between each test port coupler

and the receiver switch to improved system dynamic range. It is primarily offered for the test set with solid-state switches to compensate for the insertion loss.

Add amplifiers and bias-tees (Option 002)

– Option 002 adds an amplifier between each test port coupler

and the receiver switch to improved system dynamic range and bias-tees for all test ports on the test set as well as the analyzer. It is primarily offered for the test set with solid-state switches to compensate for the insertion loss.

Interface kits

The interface kit includes a set of semi-rigid RF jumper cables and two pairs of rear locking feet that connect and lock the analyzer and the test set together. When ordering a multiport test set, the analyzer that is used with the test set must be specified to add one of the following interface kits. The availability depends on the test set model. There are following three interface kit models based on the jumper connector layouts on the test set. Therefore, only one interface kit model (“PX”, “PN”, or “PL”) is available on each test set. Each interface kit model has one digit suffix indicating the connector type; 1 for 1.85 mm, 2 for 2.4 mm and 3 for 3.5 mm (or SMA).

Millimeter-wave measurements

Single sweep solution to 110 GHz

The 67 GHz PNA and PNA-X network analyzers allow extending the maximum frequency to 110 GHz with a 1.0 mm coaxial connector, enabling 10 MHz to 110 GHz single sweep measurements using a millimeter-wave controller and frequency extenders with built-in combiner.

The 10 MHz to 110 GHz broadband millimeter-wave system provides high per formance and capabilities including power control, 4-port true-differential, and frequency converter measurements. It is configured with an N5227A PNA with Option 201 (2-ports) or Option 401 (4-por ts), or N5247A with Option 200 (2-ports) or Option 400 (4-ports), Option 020 IF access, an N5261A 2-port or an N5262A 4-port millimeter-wave test set controller with

1.85 mm coaxial cables (Option 112 for N5261A, Option 114 for N5262A) and RF/LO/IF/DC cables sets (to select the cable length and quantities), and one (for 2-ports) or two (for 4-ports) each of right and left frequency extenders with required attenuators and bias-tee configurations.

Waveguide banded solutions to 1.05 THz

The waveguide banded millimeter-wave solution covers waveguide bands from 50 GHz to 1.05 THz. A 2- or 4-port PNA or PNA-X in conjunction with N5261A (for 2-port) or N5262A (for 4-port) configures for the most complete millimeter wave solution. It is configured with a PNA Series with Option 020 IF access, configurable test set (Option 201 or 401), and frequency offset mode (Option 080), or PNA-X Series with 2-port (Option

200) or 4-port (Option 400) and IF access (Option 020). For the millimeter-wave test controller, appropriate RF cable option and RF/LO/IF/DC cable set option for frequency extenders must be selected for the analyzer’s connector type, number of test ports, and lengths. Add appropriate frequency extenders with required quantity for the measurements.

CalPod calibration refresh modules

CalPod calibration refresh modules allow in-situ calibration refreshes to be performed at the push of a button without removing the DUT or connecting calibration standards. They're useful for removing environmental effects such as cable movement, thermal effects of cables, connectors, and adapters, as well as connector and switch matrix repeatability errors, or whenever it is desirable to ensure a current and valid calibration is present. The modules are especially useful in thermal or thermal-vacuum chamber testing.
