Bottom Line
Results –
PNA-X Case
Studies

“We selected Keysight’s
PNA-X because it eliminated
unnecessary cable swaps
between measurements and it
makes more active measurements
than any other network analyzer
out there. We used to make
S-parameter, vector-signal, and
noise-figure measurements with
separate test equipment—and
now with the PNA-X, we
can perform all of our active
measurements in one box.”
Test Engineering Manager

Case Study 1
Aerospace/defense component supplier reduces test time by 95%
Challenges
This customer manufacturers over 4600 RF components, with typically 1000 devices
in the manufacturing process at any given time. Devices included filters, multipliers,
amplifiers, and switches, from 10 MHz to 60 GHz. They needed to simplify the test
system for one particular multiport device, so they set out to develop an operator
independent automated test system (ATS). Key challenges included:
–– Complicated and expensive test systems with multiple racks of equipment
and miles of test cables
–– Multiple cable swaps and recalibrations required with extensive operator
intervention and downtime
–– Significant retesting of devices and high system downtime

Results
The PNA-X’s ability to incorporate more active measurements into a single
instrument than any other product on the market provided:
–– Faster test times: Reduced test times from four hours per temperature to 24 minutes
when compared to the prior ATS, resulting in a test-time reduction of 95%
–– Reduced equipment count: Replaced nine racks of equipment with three, 12-port
PNA-X network analyzers
–– Increased operator productivity: Enabled operators to monitor four test stations
simultaneously and eliminated the need for single-operator test stations
–– Reduced re-testing and cable swaps

Case Study 2
Satellite designer and manufacturer reduces test time from
three hours to three minutes
Challenges
This aerospace company was conducting a specific panel-level test and wanted
to modernize its test systems and improve its test productivity and throughput.
Its legacy satellite payload test systems utilized a large amount of rack and stack
equipment accompanied by a big test overhead. The company was required to
exert a great deal of time and effort to program and maintain the test systems.

Results
Initially the aerospace company purchased four PNA-Xs (26.5 and 50 GHz
models). They were so impressed with the throughput and test productivity
results, that they purchased eight more analyzers. In one test case, the level
of improvement exceeded expectations—taking a 20-minute gain-transfer test
to just under a minute. Replacing their test system with the PNA-X effectively
modernized and simplified their test system which enabled:
–– Faster test times: Complete test suite cut measurement times from three
hours to three minutes
–– Reduced equipment count: Replaced a two-rack payload test system with a
single four-port PNA-X
–– Smaller test system: Reduced the amount of equipment space and power
consumption

05 | Keysight | PNA-X Series Microwave Network Analyzers - Brochure

Case Study 3
Wireless networking systems manufacturer reduces
throughput from 30 to 10 minutes
Challenges
The manufacturer was developing a new broadband wireless network system and
needed a faster test system. Its existing test system consisted of two sources, a
spectrum analyzer, and power meters. Using this system, they estimated their new
product would take 30 minutes to test; however their speed goal was 15 minutes.
In addition to needing a faster test solution, the company also needed better
noise figure and distortion measurements, and it required single-connection
measurements on both up and down converters.

Results
Replacing their existing multi-instrument test system with a single four-port 50 GHz
PNA-X enabled the company to realize:
–– Faster test times: Complete test suite cut test throughput from an estimated
30 minutes to under ten minutes
–– Less downtime and reduced maintenance costs: Reducing the equipment
count reduced the setup time, as well as the headaches associated with
multiple equipment faults, and resulted in lowered annual calibration costs
–– Cost savings on equipment: The cost of a four-port PNA-X was substantially
less expensive than the legacy multi-instrument test system.

Case Study 4
“We chose the PNA-X for its
unique single-connection,
multiple-measurement
capability. The PNA-X is also
the only solution we found
that can make accurate
nonlinear measurements by
using its extended NVNA
software option. This saves us
an amazing amount of design
time because it means we
can quickly and accurately
characterize the nonlinear
behavior of our devices even at
crazy high power levels.”
Test Engineering Manager

Global security company speeds test and improves
measurement accuracy
Challenges
The company needed to upgrade its legacy test systems, which consisted of
large switch matrices with network analyzers. They required technicians to keep
connecting and disconnecting the device-under-test (DUT) to multiple instruments
to make a range of different measurements. This approach was slow, costly, prone to
inaccuracy, and required a good deal of user intervention and additional hardware.
The company sought a solution that was easy to set up and use, decreased test time
and cost, minimized measurement inaccuracy, and offered a smaller footprint

Results
The company decided to purchase PNA-Xs rather than simply upgrade to newer,
code-compatible, drop-in instruments offered by the provider of its legacy test
equipment. This decision was made despite the fact that it meant significant rewrite
of legacy software. The company saved time over their existing test solutions and
realized:
–– Easy setup and use: Technicians were able to easily connect to a DUT and
measure all different parameters in one pass—without additional hardware
–– Faster and more accurate tests: Using just one instrument technicians were able
to conduct their required tests in significantly less time and improve accuracy
–– Smaller test system: A single four-port PNA-X reduced their initial capital
expense, equipment count, floor space, and power consumption, which resulted
in lower overall test costs

Innovative
Applications
Simple, fast and
accurate pulsed-RF
measurements
(S93025/026A, Options 021, 022)

Pulsed-RF measurement challenges
–– Pulse generators and modulators required for pulsed-RF measurements add
complexity in test setups
–– For narrow pulses:
–– Maximum IF bandwidth of analyzer is often too small for wideband detection
–– Narrowband detection is slow, and measurements are noisy for low-duty-cycle
pulses

PNA-X pulsed-RF measurements provide:
–– S93025A provides a simple user interface for full control of two internal pulse
modulators (Options 021 and 022), four internal independent pulse generators, and
point-in-pulse measurements with pulse widths as narrow as 200 ns, and pulseprofile measurements with 50 ns minimum resolution
–– S93026A adds point-in-pulse measurements with 20 ns minimum pulse width, and
pulse profile measurements with 10 ns minimum resolution

By the 1990s,
the HP 8510 was
the industrystandard for
pulsed-RF
vector network
analyzers.

The PNA
Series replaced the
pulsed 8510 with a
bench-top solution.

–– Improved measurement speed and accuracy for narrowband detection using
hardware filters and patented spectral-nulling and software IF-gating techniques
–– Measurements using wideband detection with pulse widths as narrow as 100 ns
–– Pulse I/O connector on rear panel for synchronization
with external equipment and DUT
–– Accurate active-component
characterization using unique
application measurement
classes for gain compression,
swept-frequency/power IMD,
and noise figure

Providing the first one-box pulsed-RF
test system, the PNA-X sets a new
standard for simplicity, speed, and
accuracy.

Pulsed-RF measurement application automatically optimizes internal
hardware configuration for specified pulse conditions to dramatically
simplify test setups. Alternately, users can choose to manually set up the
hardware for unique test requirements.

Pulse profile measurement using narrowband detection technique allows
30 measurement points within 300 ns pulse, with 10 ns timing resolution.

11 | Keysight | PNA-X Series Microwave Network Analyzers - Brochure

Tips from the experts
of samples required for the IF bandwidth (IFBW). For
example, the minimum pulse width is 100 ns with
15 MHz IFBW, 300 ns with 5 MHz IFBW, and 1.44 μs with
1 MHz IFBW. When working at the minimum pulse width
for a particular IFBW, it is important to precisely set the
measurement delay (with 10 ns resolution) to align the
pulse modulation and the data acquisition period.
–– In pulse mode, it is important to use receiver leveling
to maintain power-level accuracy for power-dependent
measurements, such as output power, compression, and
intermodulation distortion.

dB

–– Compared to sweep averaging, point averaging typically
provides faster results when averaging is needed to lower
noise and improve accuracy of measurements using
wideband detection.
–– During source power calibrations, power sensors read the
average power, while the analyzer sets the peak power
of the pulsed stimulus. To compensate for the difference
between the peak and average power, use the power offset
feature with the value of 10 log (duty cycle).
–– The minimum pulse width for point-in-pulse measurements
using wideband detection is determined by the number

Freq (GHz)

PNA-X’s narrowband detection method used for narrow pulse widths
(< 267 ns) employs special hardware and patented software-gating
techniques to improve system dynamic range for low-duty-cycle
measurements by 40 dB compared to PNA-based pulsed-RF systems.

The PNA-X accurately characterizes active devices under pulsed operation
with a single set of connections to the DUT—pulsed S-parameters, pulse
profile (input and output power in the time domain), gain compression
versus frequency, and swept-frequency IMD are measured in this example.

Using receiver leveling improves the pulsed-RF power
accuracy from ± 1 dB to less than 0.05 dB.

Above measurements compare the results with and without receiver
leveling in GCA measurements. Inaccurate stimulus causes large errors in
power-dependent measurements such as input and output power at the
compression point versus frequency.

Noise figure measurement challenges with traditional,
Y-factor approach
–– Multiple instruments and multiple connections
required to fully characterize DUT
–– Measurement accuracy degrades in-fixture, on-wafer,

–– Measurements are slow, often leading to
fewer measured data points and misleading
results due to under-sampling

–– Amplifier and frequency converter measurements with the highest accuracy

For this 401 point measurement of an unmatched transistor, the PNA-X
exhibits much less ripple compared to the Y-factor method. The NFA
default of 11 trace points would give under-sampled and therefore
misleading results of the amplifier’s performance.

Noise source
For Y-factor measurements, any electrical network connected between
the noise source and the DUT, such as cables, switch matrices, and wafer
probes, causes significant accuracy degradation.

“I have several instruments in my equipment pool that can measure noise
figure­— 8970s, NFAs, and spectrum analyzers. My biggest problem for noise figure
measurements was lack of correlation—I’d get different answers depending on
which instrument I used. Now, with the PNA-X’s high accuracy, I know I’ll get the
right answer every time, no matter which PNA-X I use.”

Y-factor: The most prevalent method for measuring noise figure is the Y-factor technique.
It relies on a noise source connected to the input of the device under test (DUT). When
the noise source is turned off, it presents a room temperature (cold) source termination.
When the noise source is turned on, it creates excess noise, equivalent to a hot source
termination. Under these two conditions, noise power is measured at the output of the
DUT, and the scalar gain and noise figure of the amplifier is calculated. The Y-factor
method is used by Keysight’s NFA Series and by spectrum analyzers with preamplifiers
and a noise figure personality option.
Cold Source: An alternate method for measuring noise figure is the cold source or direct
noise technique. With this method, only one noise power measurement is made at the
output of the DUT, with the input of the amplifier terminated with a room temperature
source impedance. The cold source technique requires an independent measurement
of the amplifier’s gain. This technique is well suited for vector network analyzers (VNAs)
because VNAs can measure gain (S21) extremely accurately by utilizing vector error
correction. The other advantage of the cold source method is that both S-parameter and
noise figure measurements can be made with a single connection to the DUT.

Tips from the experts
–– Noise figure measurements are best done in a screen room to eliminate
spurious interference from mobile phones, wireless LAN, handheld
transceivers, etc.
–– Batteries are sometimes used instead of mains-based power supplies to
eliminate conducted interference from sensitive LNA measurements
–– Overall measurement accuracy can be estimated by using Keysight’s
Monte-Carlo-based noise figure uncertainty calculator

Gain compression measurement challenges
–– Characterizing amplifier or frequency converter compression over its operating
frequency range requires measurements at many frequency and power points, so
setting up the measurements, calibration, and data manipulation takes a lot of time
and effort

Instead of a linear power sweep with many points, GCA’s SMART Sweep
uses an adaptive algorithm to find the desired compression point at each

Tips from the experts

Cal all frequencies

Cal center frequencies

–– Calibrate at all measurement frequencies or at center frequencies only,
trading off productivity and accuracy
–– Let the PNA-X control external signal generators to greatly simplify
swept IMD measurements of mixers and converters
–– Use the Marker to IM Spectrum feature to show the spectrum at a
specified point on the swept IMD trace
–– Use point averaging with IM Spectrum, especially when using a wide
resolution bandwidth, to reduce the noise deviation of the noise floor
with minimum speed impact
Calibrating all frequencies is recommended for
wide tone spacing. Although the calibration takes
longer with “all frequencies”, measurement speed
is not affected.

The IM Spectrum in the lower window shows the spectrum
corresponding to the Swept IMD marker at the center of the trace in the
upper window. Point averaging is applied to the IM Spectrum to reduce
the noise deviation.

IMD and IP3 versus LO power yields maximum IP3 with lowest possible
LO drive power. This helps specify the mixer setup to achieve maximum
efficiency while minimizing power consumption.

(S93082/083/084A)

Mixer and converter
measurement challenges

SMC+Phase

–– Traditional approach with spectrum
analyzer and external signal sources
is cumbersome, slow, and does
not provide phase or group delay
information
–– Conventional VNAs require an external
signal source, which degrades sweep
speed
–– Conventional VNAs provide phase or
group delay data relative to a “golden”
device
–– Attenuators are often used to
minimize ripple due to input and output
mismatch, at the expense of dynamic
range and calibration stability

S93083A’s Scalar Mixer/Converter plus Phase
(SMC+Phase) makes mixer and converter
measurements simple to set up since reference
and calibration mixers are not required. Calibration
is easy to perform using three broadband
standards: a power meter as a magnitude
standard, a comb generator as a phase standard,
and an S-parameter calibration kit (mechanical or
ECal module).

PNA-X frequency converter applications provide:
–– Simple setup using internal second signal source as a local oscillator (LO) signal
–– Typical measurement time improvement of 100x compared to spectrum analyzerbased approach
–– High measurement accuracy using two patented techniques:
–– Scalar Mixer/Converter (SMC) provides match and most accurate conversion
loss/gain measurements by combining two-port and power-meter calibrations
(S93082A), and with (S93083A), calibrated absolute group delay measurements
without a reference or calibration mixer
VMC
–– Vector Mixer/Converter (VMC)

or devices, and phase shifts within

VMC’s match correction greatly reduces mismatch errors in group

Tips from the experts
–– Narrowing the IF bandwidth helps
eliminate spikes on the measurement
trace that result from LO feed through
and other spurious signals from the DUT
–– To prevent source-unleveled errors
when measuring devices with high-level
spurious outputs (such as unfiltered
mixers), it is often helpful to increase the
amount of source attenuation to provide
better isolation between the DUT and
the PNA-X
–– When making VMC measurements
on multistage converters, it is best to
create a single “meta-LO” signal that
can be used to drive the reference and
calibration mixers
–– When measuring unfiltered mixers,
time-domain gating can be a useful tool
to reduce ripple by removing undesired,
time-delayed responses due to spurious
signals

Time-domain gating can remove ripple by removing unwanted, time-delayed responses
due to spurious signals.

Spectrum analysis challenges for component testing
–– Measuring spurious performance is time consuming, especially

–– Choose different levels of software-image rejection to

–– For harmonics measurements, add a separate SA channel
for each harmonic with a narrow frequency span and
RBW to optimize speed and sensitivity, and with enough
receiver attenuation to avoid internally-generated
harmonics
–– To help identify spurious signals that might be interfering
with a measurement, use the Marker-to-SA feature to
easily create a spectrum display with the same stimulus
conditions at the marker position in SMC, swept-IMD, or

–– When using de-embedding to measure in-fixture or

to overcome the loss of the fixture or probes, thereby
delivering a known stimulus power to the DUT

Simplified test
of I/Q converters and
modulators, and
differential mixers
(S93089A)

I/Q and differential converter measurement challenges
–– Requires signals with 90° or 180° phase difference
–– Traditional approach uses hybrid couplers and/or baluns which are:
–– Inherently band-limited, requiring multiple components for broadband
measurements
–– Limited to fixed phase offsets, preventing phase sweeps to determine optimum
alignment
–– Lossy and inaccurate (+/- 3° to 12° typically)
–– Difficult to use with on-wafer setups

PNA-X differential and I/Q devices application
–– Provides accurate phase control of internal and external sources, eliminating the
need for hybrid couplers and baluns
–– Tunes receivers to all user-specified output frequencies needed to fully characterize
the DUT
–– Sweeps frequency to measure operating bandwidth or sweeps phase and power at a
fixed frequency to measure quadrature or differential imbalance
–– Includes match-corrected power measurements for highest accuracy

The I/Q inputs of this modulator can
be directly driven with the internal
sources of the PNA-X, eliminating the
need for a 90° hybrid coupler

Tips from the experts
–– Two additional external sources can be used to create differential I/Q drive
signals. The external sources must be routed through the PNA-X test set to
measurement receivers in order to achieve the desired phase offsets.
–– For I/Q modulators, DC power supplies or source-measurement units
(SMUs) can be routed through the bias tees to the I/Q inputs of the DUT.
Voltage sweeps can then be performed to help find the optimum I/Qvoltage offsets for the greatest amount of LO suppression.
–– Measure harmonics and total-harmonic distortion (THD) of differential
amplifiers by establishing a true-differential drive and tuning the PNA-X
receivers to all desired harmonics
–– Measure compression of differential mixers using power sweeps

mismatch correction.

Various stimulus and sweep settings are available in the Balanced DUT Topology
dialog, allowing you to select the right configuration for all of your balanced devices.

Tips from the experts
–– Input-only true-mode drive assumes a perfect match between the DUT output
and the VNA’s test ports, which is a good assumption when the DUT’s reverse
isolation is high. When the reverse isolation is low, adding attenuators on the
output port improves the system match and reduces mismatch errors.
–– When comparing the test results between single-ended and true-mode drive
conditions with the same effective delivered differential power, the individual
port powers with true-differential drive must be set 6 dB lower than the port
powers used with single-ended drive.
Single-ended drive

–– De-embed files can be saved in a variety of formats for later use in PNA, ADS, and

AFR is the fastest way to de-embed a fixture from
the measurement

Measurement Challenge:
Many of today’s devices do
not have coaxial connectors
and are put in fixtures in
order to measure them in a
coaxial environment. Accurately
removing the effects of the
fixture is required to get a good
measurement of the device under
test (DUT).

A five-step wizard guides you through the process to characterize
your fixture and remove it from your measurement.

Yesterday without AFR
Complicated modeling in EM simulation software or multiple calibration
standards fabricated on board were needed to characterize and remove a
fixture.

Today with AFR
First calibrate in coax with the reference planes at the inputs to your fixture.
Then measure one or more standards designed as a replica of the fixture’s
2-port through, or fixture half terminated with an open or short.
Or, even faster: just measure the actual fixture itself before the DUT is installed
for the open standard. AFR automatically characterizes and removes your
fixture from the measurement.

Nonlinear waveform
and X-parameter
characterization
(S94510/514/518/520/521A)

High-power design challenges
–– Active devices are commonly driven into nonlinear regions, often by design to
increase power efficiency, information capacity, and output power
–– Under large-signal drive conditions, active devices distort time-domain waveforms,
generating harmonics, intermodulation distortion, and spectral regrowth
–– Current circuit simulation tools that rely on S-parameters and limited nonlinear
behavioral models are no longer sufficient to fully analyze and predict nonlinear
behavior of devices and systems
–– Fewer design iterations are required to meet current time-to-market demands

S-parameters in a nonlinear world
In the past, when designing systems with high-power amplifiers (HPAs), designers
measured amplifier S-parameters using a vector network analyzer, loaded the results
into an RF simulator, added other measured or modeled circuit elements, and then ran
a simulation to predict system performance such as gain and power-efficiency under
various loads.
Since S-parameters assume that all elements in the system are linear, this approach
does not work well when attempting to simulate performance when the amplifier is in
compression or saturation, as real-world HPAs often are. The errors are particularly
apparent when simulating the combined performance of two cascaded devices that
exhibit nonlinear behavior. While engineers may live with this inaccuracy, it invariably
results in extensive and costly empirical-based iterations of the design, adding
substantial time and cost to the design and verification process.

33 | Keysight | PNA-X Series Microwave Network Analyzers - Brochure

Breakthrough technology accurately characterizes nonlinear
behaviors
Testing today’s high-power devices demands an alternate solution—one that quickly
and accurately measures and displays the device’s nonlinear behavior under large
signal conditions, and provides an accurate behavioral model that can be used
for linear and nonlinear circuit simulations. The Keysight nonlinear vector network
analyzer (NVNA) and X-parameters provide that solution.

Keysight’s award-winning NVNA goes beyond S-parameters to:
–– Efficiently and accurately analyze and design active devices and systems under
real-world operating conditions, to reduce design cycles by as much as 50%
–– Gain valuable insight into device behavior with full nonlinear component

–– Display calibrated time-domain waveforms of incident, reflected, and
transmitted waves of the DUT in coaxial, in-fixture, or on-wafer environments
–– Show the amplitude and phase of all harmonic and distortion spectral
products to design optimal matching circuits
–– Create user-defined displays such as dynamic load lines
–– Measure with full traceability to the National Institute of Science and
Technology (NIST)
–– Provide fast and powerful measurements of DUT nonlinear behavior using
X-parameters (S94514A)
–– Extend linear S-parameters into nonlinear operating regions for accurate

harder and harder
–– PNA-X measurement receiver…
–– Offers built-in 8530A code emulation for full reuse of existing
measurement software
–– Is fully compatible with your existing 8530A system components
–– Features 80 times improvement in data acquisition time
–– Contains an optional built-in high-output-power source (Option 108)
that can be used as an LO for remote mixers or frequency converters

Tips from the experts

Fast and accurate
RF subsystem for
antenna measurements
(continued)

How can I control
external sources?
1. Connect PNA-X to source via LAN or GPIB
2. Use External Device Configuration feature
3. Under Properties section:
–– Type name of external source, change Device Type to Source, and
choose appropriate driver
–– Under Device Properties, choose between two trigger modes:
Software CW (trigger cables not needed, but slow), or Hardware
List (fast, but requires TTL triggers)
–– When the distance between the PNA-X and source is too far to
use BNC trigger cables (> 40 meters), then a Keysight E5818A
trigger box with LAN hub offers a good alternative

How do I get a common 10 MHz reference
signal to my source and PNA-X when it’s
too far to use BNC cables?
–– Use low-cost GPS-based satellite
receivers to obtain high-accuracy 10 MHz
reference signals
–– Place a GPS receiver near the transmit
source, and one near the PNA-X
–– This approach works for arbitrary
distances, from 100’s of meters
to many kilometers

and S94510A have fixed-license types only).
For N522xB and N5241/42/49B, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47B with Option 029, an internal tuner is
included. Noise calibration requires a power meter when using a standard receiver. When using the low-noise receiver (Option 029), either a power meter or a 346-series noise
source is required (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). A power meter is required for measuring mixers and converters.
A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements to connect a reference mixer, or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based calibration. When
ordered with PNA test set Options 200, 210, 400, or 410 (no front-panel jumpers), phase and delay measurements can only by done using SMC+Phase with a calibration mixer.
S93087A can be used without PNA-X Options 22x or 42x, but external equipment such as a signal generator and a combiner may be required.
A test set with internal receiver attenuators is recommended to avoid receiver compression when measuring large input signals.
When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit.
When configured as a multiport analyzer using S93551A and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 22x or 42x is temporarily disabled. When configured as a
standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled.
