Test set options

– Standard test set and power range (Option xx0)

The 13.5 and 20 GHz versions are available in 2- or 4-ports.

– Configurable test set and extended power range (Option xx5)

Adds front panel access loops and one or two 60 dB step attenuators as shown in the figures below. This provides the capability to improve instrument sensitivity for measuring low-level signals, to reverse the directional couplers to achieve even more dynamic range or to add components and other peripheral instruments for a variety of measurement applications. The 13.5 and 20 GHz versions are available in 2- or 4-ports.

– Configurable test set, extended power range and internal second

source (Option x46) Available with 4-port models only, this option adds an internal second source, nine front panel access loops and two 60 dB step attenuators as shown in the figure below. This 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. In either case, sweep speed is more than twenty times faster than using an external source (Option 080 recommended. Please note, Option 080 is needed in order to have independent control of the two internal sources.)

PNA-X Network Analyzer

Additional options

– Pulse measurements (Option H08)

This option provides software to set up and control pulsed-RF measurements with point-in-pulse and pulse-profile capability. The software sets the coefficient of the PNA-X’s digital-IF filters to null out unwanted spectral components, enables the receiver IF gates on the rear panel, controls internal pulse generators (Option

025), internal pulse modulators (Option 021 and/or 022) or external pulse modulators, and optimization for measurement sensitivity. The measurement software can run on the PNA-X or an external computer. A “.dll” file containing the IF-filter algorithms is included for automated pulsed-RF testing. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external pulse generators and/or external pulse modulators.

– Time domain (Option 010)

This option enables the PNA-X 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.

– Add IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave (Option 020)

This option enables external IF inputs on the rear panel of the PNA-X for applications such as antenna and millimeter-wave test.

– Add pulse modulator to internal first source (Option 021)

This option enables the internal pulse modulator on source 1. 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 PNA-X 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. (See diagram below for details of the D-sub connector.)

– Add pulse modulator to internal second source (Option 022)

This option enables the internal pulse modulator on source 2. 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 PNA-X 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 required. (See diagram below for details of the D-sub connector.)

– Add four internal pulse generators (Option 025)

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 PNA-X to control external modulators and/or gates. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external pulse modulators. (See diagram below for details of the D-sub connector.)

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

– Fully-corrected noise figure measurements (Option 029)

This option adds hardware and firmware for high-accuracy noise figure measurements, utilizing Keysight’s unique source-correction technique. Using the PNA-X and a Keysight ECal module configured as an impedance tuner, the effects of imperfect system source match are removed, greatly improving the accuracy of the coldsource technique. This approach surpasses the accuracy provided by the Y-factor method. This option requires an N4691B ECal module (m-f recommended) and a 346-series noise source (both must be ordered or supplied separately). During calibration of the analyzer, an additional ECal or mechanical calibration kit is required (also must be ordered or supplied separately). The noise source is only used during calibration of the analyzer. To use the ECal module as a tuner, Option 029 includes a cable (N5242-20137) and 3.5 mm m-f adapter (85052-60013) for use with m-f modules (N4691BM0F). For use with f-f ECal modules (N4691B-00F), order a 3.5 mm m-m adapter (85052-60014).

– Frequency offset (Option 080)

This option enables the PNA-X to set the source frequency independently from where the receivers are tuned. This ability is important for measuring amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters.

– Scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option 082)

With a simple setup and calibration, this application delivers the highest accuracy for conversion-loss (or gain) magnitude measurements by combining one-port and power-meter calibrations to remove mismatch errors. This application provides an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface for setting up mixer and converter measurements, with single or dual conversion stages (up to two local oscillators, LO), along with control of up to two external signal generators for use as LO. External synthesizers supported include the Keysight ESG series and the PSG series of signal source families as well as other SCPI controlled signal generators. Option 082 requires Option 080, and cannot be ordered with Option 083.

PNA-X Network Analyzer

– Vector- and scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option

083)

This converter measurement is a superset and includes not only the scalar-calibrated converter measurement, but also the vector-mixer calibration (VMC). The advanced and unique VMC delivers exceptional conversion loss amplitude and phase accuracy for mixer and converter measurements. This application provides an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface for setting up mixer and converter measurements, with single or dual conversion stages (up to two LO’s), along with control of up to two external signal generators for use as LO. External synthesizers supported include the Keysight ESG series and the PSG series of signal source families as well as other SCPI controlled signal generators. Option 083 requires Option 080, and cannot be ordered with Option 082.

– Embedded LO measurements (Option 084)

Advanced software tuning that provides absolute group delay of converters with embedded LOs without the need for access to a common reference signal. The measurement result is the same as locking the DUT LO to the reference mixer LO. (Option 080 and 083 required) Requires firmware A.07.50 and above.

– Gain compression application (Option 086)

The Gain Compression Application (GCA) provides input power, output power, gain, and phase at an amplifier's compression point, over a specified frequency and power 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. Requires firmware A.08.00 and above

– N-port capabilities (Option 551)1

Adds full N-port error correction and measurement capabilities to the PNA-X network analyzer. External test set is required.

– High-power test set (Option H85)

With the standard test set configurations that include source attenuators, the internal bias tees limit the maximum test port power to +30 dBm. Option H85 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. Option H85 requires Option 080, plus Option 224 or 423.

– Rack mount kit without handles (Option 1CM)

Adds a rack mount (5063-9217) and rail kit (E3663AC) for use without handles.

– Pulse I/O adapter (N1966A)

An adapter for connecting between the Pulse I/O connector on the rear panel of the PNA-X and the coaxial inputs and outputs of external pulse generators and external pulse modulators. Coaxial connectors are SMB-male. (See diagram below for details of the Pulse I/O adapter.

The PULSE IN connectors are for controlling the PNA-X's internal IF gates, which are enabled with Option H08 and used with narrowband detection. The PULSE OUT connectors are from the PNA-X's four internal pulse generators, which are enabled with Option 025. The PULSE SYNC IN connector is used to synchronize the internal pulse generators with an external timing pulse. The RF PULSE MOD IN connector controls the internal pulse modulator(s) which are enabled with Options 021 and 022.

Included with each instrument is a mouse and a keyboard (U.S.).

– E8362B Network analyzer, 10 MHz to 20 GHz

– E8363B Network analyzer, 10 MHz to 40 GHz

– E8364B Network analyzer, 10 MHz to 50 GHz

– E8361A Network analyzer, 10 MHz to 67 GHz

– N5250A Network analyzer system, 10 MHz to 110 GHz

Options

– Time-domain capability (Option 010)

For viewing reflection and transmission responses in time or distance domain.

– Configurable test set (Option 0142

Provides six front panel access loops. Three access loops are for port one and three for port two. 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. This option provides the capability to improve instrument sensitivity for measuring low-level signals, to reverse the directional coupler to achieve even more dynamic range or to add components and other peripheral instruments for a variety of measurement applications. (See PNA Series Microwave Data Sheet literature number 59887988EN for a basic block diagram)

– 4-port measurement application (Option 550)2

Enables full 4-port error correction and differential measurements on a 2-port network analyzer with configurable test set. Option 014 required. External test set required.

– N-port capabilities (Option 551)2

Adds full N-port error correction and measurement capabilities to any PNA network analyzer with configurable test set.

Option 014 required. External test set required.

– Extended power range and bias-tees (Option UNL)2

Adds two 60 dB step attenuators and two bias-tees to the E8362/3/4B. Adds two 50 dB step attenuators and two bias-tees to the E8361A. A step attenuator and bias-tee set is inserted between the source and test port one and another set between the source and test port two. (See PNA Series Microwave Data Sheet literature number 5988-7988EN for a basic block diagram)

– Frequency offset (Option 080)2

This option enables the PNA Series microwave network analyzers to set the source frequency independently from where the receivers are tuned. This ability is important for two general classes of devices: mixers (and converters) and amplifiers. Option 080 provides a very basic user interface.

– Reference receiver switch (Option 081)2

Option 081 adds a solid-state internal RF transfer switch in the R1 reference-receiver path (see PNA Series Microwave Data Sheet literature number 5988-7988EN for a block diagram). The switch allows the instrument to easily switch between standard S-parameter (non-frequency-offset) measurements and frequency offset measurements such as relative phase or absolute group delay that require an external reference mixer. The user can set the switch manually or remotely, but it is best used with the frequency-converter application (Option 083), where it is controlled automatically during the vector-mixer calibration procedure and subsequent measurements.

– Scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option 082)2

– Vector- and scalar-calibrated converter measurements (Option

083)2

This converter measurement adds an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface, advanced calibration choices that provide exceptional amplitude and phase accuracy, and control of external signal sources for use as local oscillators. Mixer calibration techniques include scalar-mixer calibration and vector-mixer calibration (requires Option 081). Finally, the frequencyconverter application supports all of Keysight’s major signal source families.

– Embedded LO Measurements (Option 084)

Advanced software tuning that provides absolute group delay of converters with embedded LOs without the need for access to a common reference signal. The measurement result is the same as locking the DUT LO to the reference mixer LO. (Options 080 and 083 required) Requires firmware A.07.05 and above plus 1.1 GHz CPU board.

1. The E8361A can be extended to 110 GHz with IF access (Option H11).

2. Up to 67 GHz.

– Add receiver attenuators (Option 016)

An attenuator is added between each test port and its corresponding receiver. Two 35 dB step attenuators are added to the E8362/3/4B. Two 50 dB step attenuators are added to the E8361A (see PNA Series Microwave Data Sheet literature number 59887988EN for a basic block diagram).

– Pulsed-RF measurement capability (Option H08)2

Provides software to set up and control pulsed-RF measurements with point-in-pulse capability. The software sets the coefficient of the PNA’s digital-IF filter to null out unwanted spectral components, enables the IF gates provided with IF access (Option H11), and controls selected Keysight pulse generators. It can be run on the PNA or an external computer. A “.dll” file containing the IF-filter algorithms is included for automated pulsed-RF testing. The pulsed application is configured to work with the Keysight 81110A series pulse generator.

For more detailed information regarding pulsed measurement capabilities with the microwave PNA refer to the Keysight Web site

www.keysight.com/find/pna and download the PNA Series MW Network Analyzers Configuration Guide for Pulsed Measurements,

literature number 5988-9833EN.

– IF access (Option H11)

Provides hardware to enable antenna, point-in pulse, and broadband millimeter-wave measurements to 110 GHz. For each of the MW PNA’s measurement receivers, IF gates (enabled with pulsed measurement capability, Option H08) and external IF inputs are added. In addition, access to the PNA’s internal RF and LO source is provided for remote mixing applications. For basic antenna measurements, only Option H11 is necessary. Pulsed antenna applications also require the pulsed measurement capability (Option H08). Broadband measurements to 110 GHz, also requires an N5260A millimeter-wave test set controller.

Note: Use external IF access for up to 20 dB more sensitivity when making antenna measurements with a remote mixing configuration. Add Option H08 (Pulsed-RF Measurement Capability) to enable advanced pulsed measurements. Or upgrade to a broadband (10 MHz to 110 GHz) VNA system simply by purchasing an N5260A controller test set with test heads (Option 110, 120, or 130).

– High-power test set (Option H85)

This configuration combines options that are often necessary for high power measurements (UNL*1, 014, 016, 080, 081). The only difference between ordering Option H85 versus a combination of the options listed above is the source attenuator option UNL. Standard UNL includes two source attenuators and two bias-tees. Option H85 includes the two source attenuators, but not the biastees, as the bias-tees are the power-limiting factor in the network analyzer test set. The maximum power at the test port is +43 dBm (<20 GHz), and +40 dBm (>20 GHz).

Option 080, frequency-offset mode, is included in Option H85 because it manages the phase-locking internally (instead of depending on the R1 receiver). So if you need to use external components in the path of the R1 receiver, it makes the measurements simpler and more robust.

– Rack mount kit without handles (Option 1CM)

Adds a rack mount (5063-9217) and rail kit (E3663AC) for use without handles.

– Rack mount kit with handles (Option 1CP)

Adds a rack mount (5063-9237)3 and rail kit (E3663AC) for use with standard supplied handles.

E8361A/62B/63B/64B Configuration Details

Selecting the correct mixer-test configuration

Most mixer or converter test applications require Options 014, 080, and 082 for conversion loss/gain, or Options 014, 080, 081 and 083 for conversion loss/gain and phase/delay measurements. If you want to create and automate your own custom frequency-offset measurements (for example, intermodulation distortion), you may only need Options 014 and 080. For conver ters that require input power below

-27 dBm, or for devices that have a large amount of LO feedthrough (like an unfiltered mixer), Option UNL, which adds source attenuators, is highly recommended. Besides allowing lower input power levels, these attenuators improve the isolation between the PNA’s internal source and LO leakage signals, helping to prevent source-unleveled errors. For devices that put out signals near or above the receiver’s compression levels (which varies between –3 and +5 dBm, depending on the model and frequency), Option 016 is recommended, which adds receiver attenuators. Finally, Option 010, which adds time-domain analysis, is very useful for gating out unwanted, time-delayed responses which often occur when measuring mixers.

Measurement Accessories

Calibration kits

A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories is available on our Web site:

www.keysight.com/find/accessories

Accessories are available in these connector types: 50 ohm Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.0 mm, and waveguide. Test port cables and a calibration kit should be added for a complete measurement system. A verification kit is used to verify corrected system performance.

Cables and adapter sets

Keysight of fers cables in the following types:

– Single cables in semi-rigid and flexible – Cable sets in semi-rigid and flexible

There are also adapter sets available that protect the test port and convert the port to the desired connector interface. These kits contain:

– One male adapter – One female adapter

Coaxial measurements

Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens, shorts and loads, which are measured by the network analyzer for increased measurement accuracy.

Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibration standards with one solid-state calibration module that is controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present many different impedances to the test ports. A full two-port calibration can be performed quickly with a single connection. This technique reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.

Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.

Economy, includes:

– Open standards (male and female) – Short standards (male and female) – Fxed-termination standards (male and female)

Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:

– Sliding load standards (male and female) or a series of offset shorts

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 permitivity 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.

Pulsed measurements
