Spectrum analysis, beyond 120 GHz (S93094B/A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
S93094B/A has all of the capability of the S93090xB/A
spectrum analyzer application, with an upper frequency limit
determined solely by the broadband or banded millimeter-wave
frequency extenders used in the system. With this configuration,
the analyzer’s internal receiver attenuators are not in the
receiver paths, so they cannot be used to reduce signal levels.
External attenuators may be required to avoid compressing the
receivers in the millimeter-wave frequency extenders. When
using S93094B/A for millimeter-wave spectrum analysis, an
N5261/62A or an N5292A millimeter-wave controller is required.
When S93094B/A is installed on a standalone network analyzer,
it will provide spectrum analysis up to the frequency limit of the
instrument.
Active hot parameters (S93110B/A/S93111B/A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
Active hot parameters allows the PNA-X Series a more accurate
method for testing Hot S-parameter, gain and output power than
traditional methods by utilizing the X-parameter technology.
It removes active device and system interaction to precisely
calculate the active parameters and output power into a nominal
50 Ω environment. The advanced theory removes system-to-
system correlation problems. S93110/111B/A also provides
key parameters of optimal load for maximum power, maximum
power delivered to optimal load, and the DUT’s fundamental
X-parameters. Total 14 traces (parameters) are available with
various sweep types, such as frequency sweep, power sweep,
or two-dimensional frequency and power sweep. Requires
4-port option configuration. LFE function is diabled when using
on Option 425. S93110B/A covers up to the PNA-X’s highest
frequency. S93111B/A is the export-controlled version and covers
up to 50 GHz on the N5247B.
PNA Family Applications and Options (Continued)
True-mode stimulus (S93460B/A)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
S93460A provides mismatch-corrected true-mode (true
differential mode and true common mode) stimulus and
enables accurate balanced measurements under real operating
conditions. It also provides balanced measurements with
forward-only sweeps, reverse-only sweeps, and frequency
or power sweeps with arbitrary phase and amplitude offsets.
S93460B/A only works on 4-port PNA or PNA-X models.
N-port measurements (S93551B/A)
1
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
S93551B/A adds a multiport analyzer mode, which enables full
N-port error correction and measurement capabilities using an
external test set. Only the standard measurement class is available
in the multiport analyzer mode. Not available with PNA Options
200, 210, 400 and 410. For multiport analysis greater than 8 ports,
it is highly recommended to use N1930B PLTS software to manage
the large data files that grow exponentially (12 port S-parameter
files have 144 S-parameter elements).
1. When configuring N524xB as a multiport analyzer using S93551B/A and a
multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 22x or 42x is tempo-
rarily disabled. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner
feature is enabled. When ordering a test set, select an appropriate
interface kit. Refer to page 32 Multiport Measurements section for more
details.
