The PNA-X network analyzer is the world’s most integrated and flexible microwave test engine for measuring active devices such as amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters. Including two internal signal sources, S-parameter and noise receivers, pulse modulators and generators, a signal combiner, and set of switches and RF access points, the PNA-X architecture supports a broad range of linear and nonlinear measurements. Replace an entire rack of equipment with a simplified testbed using one PNA-X network analyzer to test your device under test with only a single set of connections.

About Option 423

Option 423 includes a combiner, mechanical switches, and more access loops. The internal second source provides an additional signal (fixed or swept) for two-tone intermodulation testing of amplifiers, or for use as a local oscillator for testing mixers and frequency converters. The mechanical switches switch the combiner in and out as needed, as well as enabling the additional access loops for advanced configurations. The second source drives ports 3 and 4 and is also available from port 1 when combined with source 1, or via rear-panel (N5241/42/44/45/49B) or front-panel (N5247B) access loops. The bias tees are connected directly to the test port couplers, which limits the maximum power rating on the pair to +30 dBm (additional attenuators or isolators are typically required to protect other components inside the instrument).

To independently control the frequency of the second internal source, one of the following software applications is required: S93080/029/070x/082/083/084/086/087/089/090x/093/094B or S94510/511B.
