Compatible Millimeter-wave Modules

Compatible Millimeter-wave Modules
Non-LFE broadband systems use the N5293A and N5295A (TxRx) millimeter
modules. For banded millimeter-wave system measurements, the
Transmission (Tx) and Reflection (Rx) banded millimeter modules
manufactured by Olsen Microwave Labs (OML) and Virginia Diodes Inc (VDI)
can be used with the N52xxB banded mm-wave network analyzer systems.
Both types of systems require the N5292A controller. Refer to
page 2-22
Keysight's N5293A/5A, and OML's and VDI's Transmission/Reflection
millimeter-wave modules contain an RF source multiplier, dual directional
coupler, reference downconverter and a test downconverter. A single
Transmission/Reflection module allows the measurement of reflection
coefficient only (e.g., S11, S22, etcetera). Refer to
OML/VDI's "Receive only" millimeter-wave modules contain a test
downconverter to receive the test signal from a Transmission/Reflection
millimeter-wave module. The use of a Receiver module, as the second module,
allows the system capability to measure a single transmission coefficient only
(e.g., S21, S12, etcetera). Refer to
"Receive only" millimeter-wave modules only apply to the OML/VDI
modules.
The use of two Keysight N5293A/95A or OML/VDI Transmission/Reflection
modules in the millimeter-wave VNA system allows for all four S-parameters to
be measured. The test downconverters of Transmission/Reflection modules are
the receivers for the signal from the modules sources. When the two modules
waveguide are connected, S11 and S21 are measured in the forward direction,
S22 and S12 are measured when the signal path is reversed. If a 4-Port system
is configured with Transmission/Reflection modules, all 16 S-parameter
measurements can be made on a 4-Port device. Refer to
