Highlights of Keysight N5227B PNA Microwave Network Analyzer

A Powerful Combination of Hardware and Software

The N5227B PNA network analyzer combines hardware and test software applications to deliver fast and accurate measurements for a variety of devices. Utilize network analysis software applications to explore, define, and resolve issues in your devices under test. Parameterize your amplifier, mixer, and frequency converter behavior with advanced test software applications including noise figure, EVM, and pulsed-RF.

Solve your most complicated measurement challenges with the N5227B VNA:

• choose 2-port single-source or 4-port dual-source versions
• leverage built-in pulse modulators and pulse generators for pulsed S-parameter measurements
• get low receiver noise floor and high receiver compression level
• achieve fast measurement speed: 3.6 to 23 μsec/point
• measure S-parameters with the smallest uncertainty and highest stability

Definitions of Keysight N5227B PNA Microwave Network Analyzer

All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 °C ±5 °C range (unless otherwise stated) and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.

Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.

Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a specification.

Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty.

Supplemental performance data (SPD): A performance parameter that is tested on a minimal set of products during design validation. It does not include guardbands, and is not covered by the product warranty. Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic (repeatable) errors.

Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise.

Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration. Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise. Find us at www.keysight.com

Page 9 Standard and LFE measurements: With an LFE option, which adds low frequency extension (LFE) hardware, the LFE measurement range overlaps with the standard measurement range from 10 MHz to 100 MHz. With LFE Enabled, measurements from 500 Hz to 100 MHz use LFE hardware. With LFE Disabled, measurements from 10 MHz to 100 MHz use standard hardware. To measure below 10 MHz, LFE must be enabled. All measurements above 100 MHz use standard hardware, regardless of the LFE Enabled/Disabled setting.
