Page 4 PNA Test Set Controller Configuration Key features � Uses the N5261/2A and the N5292A test set controller to connect banded waveguide frequency extenders to the PNA/PNA-X. � The N5261A/62A/92A test set controller enables to configure a 2-port millimeter-wave system with a single source PNA. � The N5262A/92A test set controller enables to configure a 4-port millimeter-wave system with a dual source PNA. � The N5261/62A are designed to provide DC supply to the OML frequency extenders. � The built-in millimeter wave dialog allows users to easily switch between different waveguide band frequency extenders connected to the test set controllers. � Supports the connection of VDI frequency extenders that cover waveguide bands from 26.5 GHz to 1.5 THz. � Supports the connection of OML frequency extenders that cover waveguide bands from 50 GHz to 500 GHz. � The 4-port N5262A and the N5292A Option 400 test controllers support differential and converter measurements using the VDI and OML frequency converters. � Keysight test set controller with the PNA/PNA-X can be used to calibrate and control the power at the waveguide. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 5 Dynamic range, dB PNA Test Set Controller Configuration Test set controller based solutions performance The test set controller based solutions offer not only the highest frequency coverage up to 1.5 THz but have also shown the best dynamic range in the industry. The following is an example of a WR2.2 frequency extender dynamic range using a PNA/PNA-X network analyzer, and a N5262A test set controller with a typical performance of 100 dB in a 10 Hz IFBW. Dynamic Range of WR2.2 10Hz IF BW, 1001pts, 10 Sweep Avg 150 100 50 0 325 350 375 400 425 450 475 500 Frequency, GHz Figure 1. Dynamic range of a 325 to 500 GHz WR 2.20 VDI frequency extender Ease-of-use The banded millimeter-wave system uses built-in firmware, allowing you to leverage the built in software features of the PNA and PNA-X Series network analyzers. Regardless of the frequency range of your measurements, you can manually control the instrument from the front panel or use a mouse to access the simple pull-down menus. In addition, you can utilize Cal Wizard to guide you step-by-step through the most complicated of calibrations. The banded millimeter-wave system can easily be configured using the dialogue box shown in Figure 2. Multiple system configurations can be added to the list, but only one is active at a time. Creating a banded configuration is easy, simply enter the start and stop frequencies and the multipliers for RF and LO frequency ranges (the values are located on the test head modules). Once a configuration has been added to the list, simply highlight the setup of choice and then click Activate Selected Config to apply. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 6 PNA Test Set Controller Configuration A number of different configurations can be setup for different frequency bands. In addition, for the N5261A and N5262A there is the added capability to turn on and off the test set controller ALC for pulse measurements. Also available, is the ability to enable mixer sweep for scalar mixer measurements. This interface allows for ease of switching from one configuration to the next without restarting the PNA/PNA-X or reconfiguration of connections. Detailed configuration information is given at the end of PNA direct connect configuration section. In addition, an extensive, context-sensitive Help system thoroughly explains all of the PNA and PNA-X features. In any dialog box, simply click Help to see a detailed explanation of the feature you are using. Programming examples in both SCPI and COM are also included. Test set controller based solution block diagram (N5262A) Find us at www.keysight.com Page 7 PNA Test Set Controller Configuration Test set controller based solution block diagram (N5292A) Find us at www.keysight.com Page 8 PNA Direct Connect Configuration These solutions do not require a millimeter-wave test set controller as they connect directly to the front panel of a dual source PNA or PNA-X. Both VDI and OML frequency extenders are supported with this configuration. Here is an example of a set of VDI modules that are directly connected to a dual source PNA. Key features � This configuration does not require a test set controller. � Requires a dual source PNA/PNA-X network analyzer with configurable test set option. � It takes advantage of the FOM mode S93080B, that allows the dual source to provide separate RF and LO signals for the extenders. � Supports full 2-Port S-parameter measurements within a waveguide. � The direct connection supports power calibration and power sweep. � Allows for the use of a higher IF frequency for test and reference signals. � Can be driven with either a 26.5, 43.5, 50, or 67 GHz PNA/PNA-X. � A downloadable macro is available from Keysight which simplifies the setup of the frequency offset mode. � Provides the best dynamic range performance. The direct connection configuration is currently supported using the frequency offset mode of the PNA/PNA-X and requires at least two sources to be able to do complete 2-port S-parameter measurements. The RF signal for the frequency extenders are supplied via the PNA/PNA-X port 1 and port 2 while the LO is supplied with the second source that drives the PNA/PNA-X ports 3 and 4. With this hardware configuration, the frequency offset mode can be used to set the RF source to sweep the frequency range of the waveguide band while the LO sweeps the mixers in the extenders to produce the IF signals required to make S-parameter measurements. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 9 PNA Direct Connect Configuration Key performance Calibration technology is built into the PNA/PNA-X that enables the most accurate measurements. The following are a few of the performance characteristics of the system. Figure 3 is a demonstration of the achievable stability of this system; it shows the vector magnitude stability of a 500 to 750 GHz solution over a period of 24 hours under typical laboratory conditions of 25 �C. Figure 3. Typical drift performance of the PNA/PNA-X solution at 500 to 750 GHz with Virginia Diodes frequency extenders Notice the excellent performance of less than 0.15 dB of both the short terminated ports relative to memory over a period of 24 hours. The key performance characteristic is the excellent dynamic range as illustrated by the 500 to 750 GHz. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 10 PNA Direct Connect Configuration Figure 4. WR1.5 Dynamic range measurements VDI frequency extenders with a PNA-X This solution provides unsurpassed dynamic range performance as shown in the Figure 4 plot of a 500 to 750 GHz dynamic range measurement using a direct connection of VDI extenders to a PNA/PNA-X. Note the typical performance is around 100 dB of dynamic range. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 11 PNA Direct Connect Configuration Direct connect solution block diagram This configuration of the PNA/PNA-X with frequency extenders offers the ability to directly connect frequency extenders to a 4-port PNA/PNA-X or a 2-port PNA-X with a second source. This enables vector network analysis measurements up to 1.5 THz. Find us at www.keysight.com Page 12 PNA Test Set Controller and PNA Direct Connect - Supported Configurations Configuration of a banded solution is similar to configuration of a single sweep solution using separate components. With the support of several frequency extenders and vector network analyzer options, the banded solutions, offer industry leading flexibility and extensibility for measurements to 1.5 THz. To configure hardware for a particular solution select the following components: 1. PNA or PNA-X network analyzer configured to support either a test set controller or direct connection of the frequency extenders. 2. 2- or 4-port millimeter test set controller, not required for direct connection. See page 2 for Supported measurement capability. 3.

Ordering VDI N5252AW VNAX-P modules only for use with Streamline or PXI-VNAs, 1. Select model for the frequency range of the module. 2. Select Option 201. A pair of frequency extenders, power supplies, 1.2 m cable sets are included. For more information about N5252A VNAX-P modules, see the product note, N5252-90002, and the quick start guide, N5252-90003.
