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 excep-
tional 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 mea-
surements, 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)
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 atten-
uators, 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.

When configured as a multiport analyzer with Option 551, the combiner feature of
Option 224 or 423 is not available. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the
combiner feature is available.

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.
