Basic pulsed-RF measurements (S93025B/A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application enables four internal pulse generators that can
be used to control the internal pulse modulators (Options 021
and 022), and it provides an integrated pulse application that
uses the wideband-detection method. The pulse application
provides an easy way to set up point-in-pulse measurements
with pulse width as narrow as 200 ns, and pulse-profile
measurements with 50 ns minimum timing resolution. Using the
built-in pulse modulators, the PNA and PNA-X are complete
pulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need for
external test sets and pulse generators. S93025B/A also controls
external pulse generators and modulators, and can synchronize
to external master pulses. Option 021 is recommended for
forward-only pulsed-RF measurements, and Options 021
and 022 are recommended for bi-directional pulsed-RF
measurements. The N1966A Pulse I/O adapter is recommended
if using external master pulses or external pulse modulators.

Advanced pulsed-RF measurements (S93026B/A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This application includes all of the capability of S93025B/A
(including enabling the four internal pulse generators), and
adds the narrowband-pulse-detection method to extend pulse
measurement capability to 20 ns pulse widths for point-in-pulse
measurements, and 10 ns timing resolution for pulse-profile
measurements. With narrowband-detection mode, S93026B/A
sets the coefficient of the analyzer's digital-IF filters to null out
unwanted spectral components, enables the receiver IF gates,
and performs optimization for measurement sensitivity. Using
the built-in pulse modulators, the PNA and PNA-X are complete
pulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need for
external test sets and pulse generators. S93026B/A also controls
external pulse generators and modulators, and can synchronize

to external master pulses. Option 021 is recommended for
forward-only pulsed-RF measurements, and Options 021 and 022
are recommended for bi-directional pulsed-RF measurements.
The N1966A Pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external
master pulses or external pulse modulators.
Add pulse modulator to internal first source
(Option 021) PNA-X
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source1
Out1. Control of the modulator can be done via pin 8 of the Pulse
I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using an
external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulse
generators enabled with S93025/26B/A. The N1966A pulse I/O
adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.
Add pulse modulator to internal second source
(Option 022) PNA-X
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source2
Out1. Control of the modulator can be done via pin 8 of the Pulse
I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using an
external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulse
generators enabled with S93025/26B/A. The N1966A pulse I/O
adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.
Requires one of text set options 22x or 4xx.
Add IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave
(Option 020) PNA-X
This option enables external IF inputs on the rear panel of the
analyzer for applications such as antenna test and for use with
millimeter-wave test set controllers (for more information about
millimeter-wave network analyzer configurations, see Millimeter-
Wave Network Analyzers Technical Overview, 5989-7620EN).
Fast CW sweep (S93118B/A)
PNA-X PNA
This option uses a FIFO (first-in first-out) buffer to allow external
point-trigger acquisition of 400,000 data points per second on five
measurement receivers. When enabled, there is no display update,
no background computation, or other interference from the vector
network analyzer application. All the data gathered is placed into
a 500-million-point FIFO buffer. Data may be read from the FIFO
buffer at the same time as it is filled.
