Option Descriptions
–
Millimeter-wave modules with bias-tees
(N5250A Option 017)
Adds 67 GHz bias-tees to the combiner assembly between the
input to the combiner and the 67 GHz coupler. The bias-tees have
tri-axial connectors for force, sense, and ground. Positioning the
bias-tees close to the DUT greatly improves stability for on-wafer
and in-fixture devices. The bias-tees added for this option have a
voltage rating of 40 volts and a maximum of 0.5 amps.

Millimeter-wave modules with bias-tees and port 2 attenuator
(N5250A Option 018)
Adds 67 GHz bias-tees to the combiner assembly between the
input to the combiner and the 67 GHz coupler. The bias-tees have
tri-axial connectors for force, sense, and ground. Positioning the
bias-tees close to the DUT greatly improves stability for on-wafer
and in-fixture devices. The bias-tees added for this option have a
voltage rating of 40 volts and a maximum of 0.5 amps Additionally,
Option 018 adds a 25 dB micrometer attenuator to the port 2 test
head.
Banded waveguide solution
In order to assemble a banded waveguide solution, the
following components are needed:
–
Microwave PNA network analyzer
(E8361A or E8362/3/4B) with
the following options:
–
IF access – Option H11
–
Configurable test set – Option 014
–
Extended power range and bias-tees – Option UNL
–
Frequency-offset mode – Option 080
–
Reference channel switch – Option 081
–
Millimeter-wave test set controller (N5260A) with no options
–
A set of waveguide modules:
–
N5260AW15, 50 to 75 GHz
–
N5260AW12, 60 to 90 GHz
–
N5260AW10, 75 to 110 GHz
–
N5260AW08, 90 to 140 GHz
–
N5260AW06, 110 to 170 GHz
–
N5260AW05, 140 to 220 GHz
–
N5260AW03, 220 to 325 GHz
NOTE: To significantly improve system dynamic range above
220 GHz, Keysight strongly recommends adding two
external synthesizers such as Keysight’s PSG Series signal
generators;
one for the RF signal, and one for the LO signal.

On-wafer applications
For on-wafer applications, Cascade Microtech
3
provides
complete probing systems using the N5250A. These
include both new probing systems and upgrades to existing
Cascade Microtech products. Cascade can also provide
on-wafer verification and probing system training. Once the
N5250A system is verified in coax, Cascade Microtech will
verify the system through its wafer probes.
