Options (continued)
IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave - Option 020 - PNA N522xA and PNA-X
N524xA
The PNA-X IF access option provides network analyzer IF signal path access for
applications including antenna measurements, and extended frequency coverage be-
yond 26.5 GHz.
With Option 020 IF access, antenna-test professionals can use an externally gener-
ated 10.7 MHz IF, bypassing the PNA-X’s internal rst converter to achieve maximum
sensitivity with remote mixing for antenna measurements. By combining IF access with
frequency-offset capability and advanced triggering that supports synchronization with
external signal generators, users can attain exceptionally accurate antenna and radar
cross section (RCS) measurements faster than previously possible.
When making antenna measurements with a remote mixing conguration, up to 20
dBmore sensitivity is possible. When the PNA-X is equipped with Option 020 and the
N5260A millimeter-wave controller, it can be congured for broadband measurements
from 10 MHz to 110 GHz.
Pulse modulator for internal 1st source - Option 021 - PNA N522xA and PNA-X N524xA
The PNA-X Option 021 adds an internal pulse modulation capability to the rst internal
source for pulsed-RF measurements with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz.
With Option 021, the PNA-X provides pulsed stimuli at test port one that allows forward
direction pulse measurements. By combining Option 025 internal pulse generators and
Option 008 pulse measurements application, the PNA-X can be a fully integrated, fast
and accurate pulse measurement system, which provides full pulse measurement capa-
bilities such as pulse average, point-in-pulse and pulse-prole.
Four internal pulse generators - Option 025 - PNA N522xA and PNA-X N524xA
Option 025 adds four internal pulse generator outputs to control internal or external
pulse modulators and IF gates for pulsed-RF measurements, or to set the device condi-
tions.
Each pulse generator can be controlled independently from Option 008 pulse measure-
ment application or through the remote interface. The pulse signals from four generators
are available on the Pulse-I/O D-sub connector on the PNA-X rear panel. The N1966A
pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external pulse modulators.
By combining Option 021/022 internal pulse modulators and Option 008 pulse mea-
surements application, the PNA-X can be a fully integrated, fast and accurate pulse
measurement system, which provides full pulse measurement capabilities such as pulse
average, point-in-pulse and pulse-proling.
LO source 26.5 GHz - Option 108 - PNA N522xA and PNA-X N524xA The high-output
power source option can be used as an LO source for remote mixers or frequency con-
vertors.
Fast CW mode - Option 118 - PNA N522xA and PNA-X N524xA
Fast CW mode provides extremely fast data acquisition speed of 400,000 points per
second; with up to ve measurement receivers simultaneously.
