Configuration Details
Selecting the correct mixer-test
configuration:
Most mixer or converter test applications require Options 014, 080,
and 082 for conversion loss/gain, or Options 014, 080, 081 and 083
for conversion loss/gain and phase/delay measurements. If you want
to create and automate your own custom frequency-offset measure-
ments (for example, intermodulation distortion),
you may only need Options 014 and 080. For converters that require
input power below -27 dBm, or for devices that have a large amount
of LO feedthrough (like an unfiltered mixer), Option UNL, which adds
source attenuators, is highly recommended. Besides allowing lower
input power levels, these attenuators improve the isolation between
the PNA’s internal source and
LO leakage signals, helping to prevent source-unleveled errors. For
devices that put out signals near or above the receiver’s compression
levels (which varies between –3 and +5 dBm, depending on the
model and frequency), Option 016 is recommended, which adds
receiver attenuators. Finally, Option 010, which adds time-domain
analysis, is very useful for gating out unwanted, time-delayed
responses which often occur when measuring mixers.
□
4-port measurement application
(Option 550)
Adds multiport analyzer mode to any PNA network analyzer
with Option 014 configurable test set, which enables full
4-port error correction and measurement capabilities using an
external test set. Only standard measurement class is available
in the multiport analyzer mode.
□
N-port capabilities (Option 551)
Adds multiport analyzer mode to any PNA network analyzer
with Option 014 configurable test set, which enables full
N-port error correction and measurement capabilities using
an external test set. Only standard measurement class is
available in the multiport analyzer mode.
Pulse, antenna, mm-wave
□
Pulsed-RF measurement capability
(Option H08)
Provides software to set up and control pulsed-RF measurements
with point-in-pulse capability. The software sets the coefficient
of the PNA’s digital-IF filter to null out unwanted spectral
components, enables the IF gates provided with IF access
(Option H11), and controls selected Keysight pulse generators.
It can be run on the PNA or an external computer. A “.dll” file
containing the IF-filter algorithms is included for automated
pulsed-RF testing. The pulsed application is configured to work
with the Keysight 81110A series pulse generator.
For more detailed information regarding pulsed measurement
capabilities with the microwave PNA refer to the Keysight
Web site
www.keysight.com/find/pna
and download the PNA
Series MW Network Analyzers Configuration Guide for Pulsed
Measurements, literature number 5989-7913EN.
□
IF access (Option H11)
Provides hardware to enable antenna, point-in pulse, and
broadband millimeter-wave measurements to 110 GHz. For
each of the MW PNA’s measurement receivers, IF gates
(enabled with pulsed measurement capability, Option H08) and
external IF inputs are added. In addition, access to the PNA’s
internal RF and LO source is provided for remote mixing
applications. For basic antenna measurements, only Option H11
is necessary. Pulsed antenna applications also require the
pulsed measurement capability (Option H08). Broadband
measurements to 110 GHz, also requires an N5260A
millimeter-wave test set controller.
Note: Use external IF access for up to 20 dB more sensitivity
when making antenna measurements with a remote mixing
configuration. Add Option H08 (Pulsed-RF Measurement
Capability) to enable advanced pulsed measurements. Or
upgrade to a broadband (10 MHz to 110 GHz) VNA system
simply by purchasing an N5260A controller test set with test
heads (Option 110, 120, or 130).
1. The 5063-9237 kit assumes you have the standard handles
shipped with the instrument. If you do not have handles, order a
5063-9224 kit.
