• make sure that proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is provided • make sure the analyzer has warmed up properly to achieve system stability • review the principles of connector care IMPORTANT Keysight personnel: see Figure 1-1 on page 1-5 to review where the calibration stickers should be placed on the PNA.
Prior to making connections to your analyzer, carefully review the information about inspecting, cleaning, and gaging connectors. Refer to the calibration kit documentation for detailed connector care information. For course numbers about additional connector care instruction, contact Keysight Technologies.

Tests and Adjustments PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers About System Verification and Performance Tests N5221A/22A About System Verification and Performance Tests The performance of the network analyzer is specified in two ways: system specifications, and instrument specifications. It is the end user’s responsibility to determine which set of specifications is applicable to their use of the PNA.
PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Tests and Adjustments N5221A/22A About System Verification and Performance Tests System Verification Procedure The system verification procedure tests the network analyzer measurement “system”, as defined previously, against the system specifications. If confirmation is successful, the measurement system is capable of making measurements to the accuracy specified by the graphs of measurement uncertainty.
If you have a measurement application that does not use all of the measurement capabilities of the analyzer, you may ask your local Keysight Technologies service office to verify only a subset of the specifications. However, this “limited calibration” creates the possibility of making inaccurate measurements if you then use the analyzer in an application requiring additional capabilities.
PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Tests and Adjustments N5221A/22A ANSI/NCSL Z540.3–2006 and ISO/IEC 17025 Verification ANSI/NCSL Z540.3–2006 and ISO/IEC 17025 Verification To meet the criteria for ANSI/NCSL Z540.3–2006 and ISO/IEC 17025 verification, perform the preliminary checks and all performance tests without stopping to repair or adjust .
Tests and Adjustments PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Non-Standards Compliant Verification N5221A/22A Non-Standards Compliant Verification To meet the criteria for non-standards compliant verification, perform the preliminary checks and the performance tests while stopping to troubleshoot. Refer to Figure 3-2 for test flow. Troubleshoot and repair the first problem encountered without continuing to other tests.
PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Tests and Adjustments N5221A/22A Preliminary Checks Preliminary Checks Preliminary checks include the following: • “The Operator’s Check” on page 3-11 The operator’s check tests the network analyzer’s basic functionality of the source, switch, and receivers.

Information in This Chapter N5221A/22A Information in This Chapter This chapter provides a general description of the operating theory of the N5221A/22A 2-port and 4-port PNA microwave network analyzers. • Theory of operation is explained to the assembly level only.
PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Theory of Operation N5221A/22A Network Analyzer System Operation Network Analyzer System Operation The PNA network analyzer generates two (2-port models) or four (4-port models) phase-locked incident signals and an LO signal from the internal synthesized source. By means of signal separation, the incident signals are divided into reference signals and test signals.
Theory of Operation PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Network Analyzer System Operation N5221A/22A Figure 5-2 2-Port System Simplified Block Diagram Functional Groups of the Network Analyzer The operation of the network analyzer can be separated into major functional groups. Each group consists of assemblies that perform a distinct function in the instrument.

Signal Separation Group Each of the incident signals from the source group is separated into a reference path and a test path. The reference signal is transmitted to the receiver group.
Theory of Operation PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Synthesized Source Group Operation N5221A/22A Synthesized Source Group Operation The source group produces a stable output signal by phase locking a synthesized voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Refer to Table 5-1 on page 5-8 for the full frequency range of the source.

The A4, A11, and A13 13.5 GHz synthesizer boards use the 50 MHz reference signal from the A14 frequency reference board to tune a VCO circuit that sweeps from 2 GHz to 4 GHz.
Theory of Operation PNA Series Microwave Network Analyzers Synthesized Source Group Operation N5221A/22A A21 Multiplier/Amplifier 26.5 Board (HMA26.5) In bands 2–15, the synthesized LO input is filtered, amplified, and passed through to the A22 splitter (4-port only). In bands 16-21, the input is amplified, doubled, and filtered, then sent to the output.
