Description
Description
The Keysight N5280A is a four channel frequency converter Test Set. This Test
Set is used with the Keysight N5242A 2-Port or 4-Port PNA-X Network
Analyzer, and a N5264A Measurement Receiver. It can be operated with other
microwave accessories (couplers, power splitters). The N5280A provides a
convenient means of customizing a test configuration for a variety of
applications within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. In addition to
configurations for measuring reflection and transmission parameters of
one-port or two-port devices, you can build configurations to characterize
antenna parameters, radar cross sections and frequency translation devices.
Figure 4 on page 9 illustrates one possible measurement set-up configuration.
Network Analyzer Requirements
— The N5242A 2-Port or 4-Port PNA-X Network Analyzer (10 MHz to 26.5
GHz) requires Option 020, which adds IF inputs.
— The N5264A Measurement Receiver requires Option 108, which adds LO
Source 26.5 GHz.

Verifying the Shipment
To verify the contents shipped with your product, refer to Tab le 1.
Inspect the shipping container. If the container or packing material is
damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been
checked mechanically and electrically. If there is physical damage refer to
“Contacting Keysight” on page 54. Keep the damaged shipping materials (if
any) for inspection by the carrier and an Keysight Technologies representative.

The N5280A has two available Test Set options:
Refer to Figure 29 on page 43, Figure 30 on page 44 and Figure 31 on
page 45.
— Standard (700) - There are no attenuators in the RF Input paths.
— Option 001 - There are four attenuators (0 to 35 dB) in the RF Input paths to
reduce the power levels.
— Option 002 - There are four IF Channels (A, B, C and D) and LO Input on the
front panel.

General Specifications
General Specifications
Specifications for the N5280A Frequency Converter Test Set (10 MHz to 26.5
GHz) are characteristic for the System performance of the PNA and Test Set.
Actual performance of the system is based on the customers PNA that is used
with the Test Set.
A functional certificate is supplied for the N5280A. The N5280A performance is
based on external components such as the calibration kit, network analyzer,
external sources, and measurement receiver. There are no internal adjustments
in the N5280A, therefore an annual calibration is not required.
Frequency range and connectors are listed in Table 2 for specific ports.

Power Requirements
Verify that the required ac power is available before installing the Test Set to
the PNA.
— 100/120/220/240 VAC (50/60Hz)
— The instruments can operate with mains supply voltage fluctuations up to ±
10% of the nominal voltage.
— Air conditioning equipment (or other motor–operated equipment) should
not be placed on the same ac line that powers the Test Set and PNA.
— Table 3 contains the maximum wattage for all instruments. This table can
be use to determine the electrical and cooling requirements.

This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall be
inserted only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Environmental Requirements
The environmental requirements of the Test Set are listed in Table 4. Refer to
the N5242A PNA-X and N5264A Measurement Receiver standard
documentation for environmental requirements.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the instrument must not be restricted. The
ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum
operating temperature of the instrument by 4 C for every 100 watts
dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is
greater than 800 watts, forced convection must be used.

Environmental
The N5280A complies with all applicable safety and regulatory requirements
for the intended location of use.
— The instrument can safely operate in a relative humidity of 80% for
temperatures to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40
°C.
Equipment Heating and Cooling
If necessary, install air conditioning and heating to maintain the ambient
temperature within the appropriate range. Air conditioning capacity must be
consistent with the BTU ratings given in Table 3.
Required Conditions for Accuracy Enhanced Measurement
Accuracy–enhanced (error–corrected) measurements require the ambient
temperature of the PNA and Test Set to be maintained within ± 1 °C of the
ambient temperature at calibration.

Operational Check
Operational Check Procedure (Option 002)
The N5280A operational check can be verified using two Sources with a Power
Meter and Power Sensor.
Requirements for Operational Check
The N5280A operational check measures the signal paths from the LO INPUT
to the LO OUTPUT (LO AUX) and each of the four internal mixers, using a
power divider. Internally, the LO signal is mixed with RF input signals supplied
through each of the RF INPUTS (A, B, C, and D) and measured at each of the IF
OUTPUTS (A, B, C, and D). The following process demonstrates that all
associated switches, connectors, cables and circuitry are operational.
Required Hardware
To demonstrate that the N5280A is operating properly requires external
equipment - the same equipment that would be used to perform a field
calibration of the N5280A in a system. This external equipment includes two
precision signal generators and a power meter with a power sensor and power
sensor cable. The module interconnect cables are not used when performing
this operational check; instead, two high-quality flexible 3.5 mm cables are
needed along with adapters.
Please refer to the following table for recommended equipment.

The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose the user
to dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage
sources before opening.
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device.
It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other
parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby
switch and is not a LINE switch (disconnecting device)
Connector Care and Cleaning Precautions
Remove the power cord to the instrument. To clean the connectors use alcohol
in a well ventilated area. Allow all residual alcohol moisture to evaporate, and
fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the Keysight N5280A from
mains electrical supply before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one
slightly dampened with water to clean the external case parts. Do
not attempt to clean internally.
If flammable cleaning materials are used, the material shall not be
stored, or left open in the area of the equipment. Adequate
ventilation shall be assured to prevent the combustion of fumes, or
vapors.

Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
The product is shipped in materials that prevent damage from static, and
should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that
the correct anti-static precautions are taken.
Two types of ESD protection are listed below. Purchase acceptable ESD
accessories from your local supplier.
—Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination
— Conductive floor-mat and heal-strap combination
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection.
To ensure user safety, static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩof
isolation from ground.
These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used
when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
