Keysight Technologies N5252A, User Manual

Page: 7 / 62

N5252A and N5253E1, N5253E2, and N5253E3 are bundles of VNA, software,
frequency extenders, and calibration kits to configure an E-Band Vector Network
Analyzer system using the N5252AW12, 60-90 GHz mm-wave frequency extenders.
These extenders are designed to work directly with Streamline or PXIe Vector Network
Analyzers to configure a WR12 E-Band Vector Network Analyzer.
Alternative systems can be configured with separately purchased VNA, software,
extenders, and 2-port test set adapter. See the
Banded Millimeter Wave Network
Analysis Technical Overview for configuration details.
For direct connect (VNAX-P) mm-wave band extenders, to enable an upgrade to higher
frequencies, see
Keysight N5252AWxx Quick Start Guide (N5252-90003) .
To use standard VNAX extenders with PXIe or USB Streamline VNA, and using a 2-port
test set adapter, refer to the Keysight
N5252APXI Product Note (N5252-90004) .

There are no available options for the N5253E1, E2, or E3 bundles.
Features
•
The VNA provides power level adjustment at the output of the Frequency Extender
(extender adjustable attenuator not required).
•
Enhanced power level accuracy with calibration using your power meter and power
sensor.
•
Use as a standard VNA or mm-wave system.
Available Configurations
To use the N5253E system as a standalone VNA system, you will need to order test cables.
