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 PNA-X is an integrated vector network analyzer featuring
a built-in S-parameter test set, one or two synthesized sources
used for device stimulus, a solid-state drive, USB interfaces,
and a 10.4” LCD touch screen display. 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.
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.
