Keysight PNA-X Series User Manual

Far-eld antenna measurements
The N5264A PNA-X measurement receiver based system uses 85320A/B broadband
external mixers and a 85309B distributed frequency converter and provides the best
measurement solution (shown in Figure 4). With Option 108, the internal microwave syn-
thesized source can be used as the LO source for the 85309B LO/IF Distribution Unit.
Alternatively, PNA/PNA-X Option 020 or Legacy (E836xC) PNA with Option H11, IF ac-
cess can achieve high sensitivity required for far-eld antenna measurements. Higher
sensitivity can be achieved since the IF signal bypasses the rst down conversion stage
in the PNA/PNA-X, and is routed directly to the input of the second down conversion
stage in the rear panel.

Note: With Option H11, the rst IF of the PNA
is at 8.33 MHz, so when using H11 inputs, the
user should offset external mixer LO inputs
by 8.33 MHz.
