User Manual 1178.6462.02 ─ 12

Depending on the network analyzer type and the number of independent sources avail-
able, different test setups are possible.

5.7.6

 

Pulsed Measurements

Option R&S

 

ZNA-K7

Measurements on pulsed RF signals are required in many areas of RF and microwave
technology. Pulsed signals are used in mobile phone applications and radar systems,
and amplifiers are typically designed for pulsed rather than continuous wave (CW) con-
ditions.

The analyzer performs pulsed measurements in analogy to a time sweep (i.e. at con-
stant receiver frequency), but with a much higher sampling rate. Option R&S

 

ZNA-K7

provides configuration of the internal pulse modulators and pulse profile measure-
ments. The measurement bandwidth can be increased up to 50 MHz.

●

Option R&S

 

ZNA-K7 requires the 

Increased IF Bandwidth 30

 

MHz

 option

R&S

 

ZNA-K17.

For better time resolution, pulse profile measurements use the 

Memory Extension for

Data Streaming

 option R&S

 

ZNA-B7, if available.

5.7.7

 

Millimeter-Wave Converter Support

Option R&S

 

ZNA-K8

Requires 

B16

 or 

B26

.

Measurements at frequencies beyond the analyzer's operating range (mm-wave mea-
surements) are achieved by combining a frequency-converting measurement with an
external test set (frequency converter). The frequency converters use frequency multi-
pliers to transform the RF source signal from one of the network analyzer ports into a
high-frequency stimulus signal. A dual directional coupler separates the reference and
measurement channels from the waveguide test port. A local oscillator (LO) signal is
used for down-converting the reference and measurement channels. The LO signal
can be provided by the optional 

LO Out

, or by an analyzer or external generator port.
