Keysight Agilent N5230A PNA-L 13.5Hz 2 Port Network Analyzer w/ Opt 125

Keysight Agilent N5230A PNA-L 13.5GHz 2 Port Network Analyzer

Welcome to The World of PNAs – The Most Popular Microwave Network Analyzers

The PNA Series builds on Keysight Technologies Inc. 40-year legacy of excellence to deliver new standards in speed, accuracy, and versatility for microwave network analysis. The PNA’s architecture includes high quality, stable hardware and flexible software. The standard PNA is suitable for testing passive and active devices such as filters and amplifiers. Users can easily add options to test mixers, harmonics, intermodulation distortion (IMD), pulsed-RF, antennas and millimeter-wave (mmwave) components.

Mixer Measurements Checklist

Conversion loss/gain, magnitude and phase

Input match, output match, and LO match

Isolation and compression

The two internal independent synthesizers with +13 dBm power and < 60 dBc harmonics eliminate the need for external synthesizers or components.

Advanced error correction

Patented vector-mixer calibration for measurement of absolute group delay

Scalar-mixer calibration (SMC) for match-corrected amplitude measurements

Significantly faster speed for fixed-IF (20 to 30 times faster than with an external source)

Easy-to-configure multi-stage converter measurements

LO source control and LO power calibration

Mixer IMD

The simple two-step SMC calibration provides match-corrected conversion loss, error-corrected input and output match

Software tuning for embedded LO
