System Description
Compatible Millimeter-Wave Modules

Compatible Millimeter-Wave Modules

Only Keysight N5293A and N5295A millimeter modules are compatible with

the N5290A/1A Systems. If you have third party millimeter heads, and banded

applications, refer to the N5292-90001 Self-configuration Installation Guide.

Refer to

“N5293/5A Millimeter-Wave Test Head Modules” on page 2-20

Transmission/Reflection millimeter-wave modules contain an RF source

multiplier, dual directional coupler, reference downconverter and a test

downconverter. The Transmission/Reflection millimeter-wave module is

usually the primary module of a millimeter-wave VNA system. A single

Transmission/Reflection module allows the measurement of S11 reflection

coefficient only. Refer to

Figure 2-9 on page 19

The use of two 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
