Description
1. Supported software license types: node-locked perpetual (1FP), node-locked 12 month (1FL). 1FP is the only
type that can be ordered as part of the instrument. The other types have to be ordered as separate items and
installed from the web aster the receipt of the instruments.
2. When configuring a multiport VNA using multiple USB VNAs, the Y1710A is recommended for each additional
multiport interconnection.
3. The P937xA and P500xA can not be combined in multiport configurations.
4. A 4-port ECal module (i.e. N4431/32/33) is recommended for multiport measurements (n > 4).

Measurement Application Software
Solid black series name indicates the feature is available on that series, while gray series name with
strikethrough indicates the feature ins not available on that series. For example:
P500xA Series: Available on P500xA series
P937xA Series: Not available on P937xA Series
Automatic fixture removal (S97007A)
P937xA Series P500xA 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, USB VNA,
ADS, and PLTS.
Time domain analysis (S97010A)
P937xA Series P500xA 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.
Basic Pulsed-RF measurements (S97025A)
P937xA Series P500xA Series
This application enables internal pulse generators that can be used to control the internal pulse
modulators, and it provides an integrated pulse application that uses the wideband-detection method. The
software requires hardware option 021 pulse modulator hardware.
The pulse application provides an easy way to set up point-in-pulse measurements with pulse width as
narrow as 1 us, and pulse-profile measurements with 40 ns minimum timing resolution. Using the built-in
pulse modulators, the USB VNAs are complete pulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need
for external test sets and pulse generators. S97025A also controls external pulse generators and
modulators and can synchronize to external master pulses. The Y1731A PXI Adapter Module is
recommended if using external master pulses or external pulse modulators.

Noise figure measurements with vector correction (S97029A)
P937xA Series P500xA Series
This software application enables high-accuracy noise figure and noise-power measurements of
amplifiers utilizing Keysight’s unique vector-source-correction technique that uses a source-impedance
tuner to remove the effects of imperfect system-source match. This approach yields accuracy that
surpasses that provided by the Y-factor method and other cold-source implementations, especially for infixture, on-wafer, and automated-test environments. A scalar-calibrated method is also available that
offers less accuracy but is faster and does not require an impedance tuner.
The instrument’s standard receivers are used for noise figure measurements with the S97029A. An
external preamplifier and filter(s) is required for devices with < 30 dB of excess noise (gain plus noise
figure in dB). S97029A controls Keysight N469x Series
1
ECal modules configured as impedance tuners
for use with the USB VNA.
For calibration, a standard mechanical cal kit or ECal module is required for the S-parameter portion of
the cal (an ECal used as a tuner cannot be shared for calibration). To calibrate a standard receiver for
noise figure measurements, a power meter is required. All calibration accessories must be ordered
separately.
Scalar mixer/converter measurements (S97082A)
P937xA Series P500xA Series
With a simple setup and calibration, this application delivers the highest accuracy for scalar conversionloss/gain measurements by combining one-port and power-meter calibrations to remove mismatch errors.
S97082A 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 external signal generators for use as
LO signals. Supported external sources include the Keysight ESG, PSG, EXG, and MXG Series, as well
as other SCPI-controlled signal generators.
S97082A is compatible with S97084A, which enables measurements of converters with internal LOs.
Embedded LO capability (S97084A)
P937xA Series P500xA Series
This application tunes the analyzer’s receivers to the output frequency of the converter under test without
the need for access to internal LOs or a common reference signal. S97084A is intended to work with
S97082A measurement applications.
1. 8509x, N443x or N755xA Series ECal modules are not supported.
