PNA Family Network Analyzer Configurations

 

(continued)

1   For N522xA and N5241/42/49A, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47A with Option 029, 

an internal tuner is included. For calibration, Option 028 requires a power meter, and Option 029 requires either a power meter or a 346-series noise source 
(Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). All options require a power meter for measuring mixers and converters. 

2   Option 080 is required to configure an external source using External Device Configuration dialog.
3   Option 082 is a subset of Option 083; therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
4   A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements (to connect a reference mixer) or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based    

calibration. When ordered with N522xA-200, -210, -400 and -410, Option 083 adds phase and delay measurements only by using SMC+Phase with a 
calibration mixer.

5   Option 087 can be ordered without N524xA-224 or N524xA-423, but may require external equipment such as a signal generator and a combiner. Refer to 

page 13 for more details.

6    When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit. Refer to page 22 Multiport Measurements section for more details.
7    When configuring N524xA as a multiport analyzer using Option 551 and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily 

disabled.  
When configuring N524xA as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled.

8   The Windows 7 upgrade kit for PNAs containing CPU version 6 is model N8983A. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive with all of the necessary 

software installed. For units with older CPUs, order the N8984A with Option PC7. This upgrade kit contains a new solid state drive and a version 7 CPU. For 
adding Option 090 to units with DSP version 4, add Option SP5 to the N8983A or N8984A order to get the DSP version 5. 

9   Option 093 is a subset of 094; therefore they cannot be ordered together.
