OML/VDI and N5293A/5A Test Heads – Banded Configuration
Calibration (Only)

Overview:

The following detailed instructions are for the installation and calibration when
using banded third party frequency extenders with a PNA/PNA-X that is
connected via a N5292A test controller.
This is to ensure that when the N5290/91A broadband is used with the
N5290A304 1.8m cable adapter the system is optimized for the best power
levels being applied to the RF and LO of the external modules. In addition, it
will ensure that we have a calibrated IF channel for accurate raw receiver
measurements that require this level of accuracy, like the Spectrum Analysis
application.
This calibration and installation process is optimized for use with
supported VDI and OML frequency extenders. While other Frequency
extenders maybe used, they should at minimum comply to the
requirements as follows:
—
— Nominal LO saturated power requirement of 10 dBm +/- 3 dBm.
—

System Hardware

— N5247B
— N5292A Test Set Controller
— WR-10 3rd party frequency extenders

Required Calibration Hardware

The process would require a at least a 26.5 GHz power sensor and adapter to
complete.

Overall Process

1. Connect the PNA-X, controller and attach the N5290A304 cable adapters
2. Do not connect the frequency extenders to the N5290304A cable adapters
3. Connect the power sensor to the PNA-X
