PNA-X Series Network Analyzer
Nonlinear vector network analysis

Pulse, antenna, mm-wave
□
Pulsed-RF measurements (Option 008)
This option extends the pulsed-RF measurement capability of
the PNA-X to pulse widths below 267 ns, which is the limit for
the standard wideband detection mode. The PNA-X is a complete
pulsed-RF solution with built in pulse generators and modulators,
so external test sets and pulse generators are not required.
null out unwanted spectral components, enables the internal
receiver IF gates, controls internal pulse generators (Option 025),
internal pulse modulators (Option 021 and/or 022), and external
pulse modulators, and performs optimization for measurement
sensitivity. Option 008 also includes conventional pulsed-RF
measurement software (Option H08), which can run on the
PNA-X or an external computer. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is
recomended using external pulse generators and/or external pulse
modulators.
□
Add IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave (Option 020)
This option enables external IF inputs on the rear panel of the
PNA-X for applications such as antenna and millimeter-wave
test.
□
Add pulse modulator to internal first source (Option 021)
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on source 1.
Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of the
Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the PNA-X
using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal
pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O adapter
is recommended if using an external pulse generator.
(See diagram below for details of the D-sub connector.)
□
Add pulse modulator to internal second source (Option 022)
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on source 2.
Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of the
Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the PNA-X
using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the internal
pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O adapter
is recommended if using an external pulse generator. Option 224
or 400 required. (See diagram for details of the D-sub connector.)
□
Add four internal pulse generators (Option 025)
This option enables four internal pulse generators. These
pulse generators can be used to control the internal pulse
modulators and internal receiver IF gates, and are also available
on pins 10 through 13 of the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on
the rear panel of the PNA-X to control external modulators
and/or gates. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended
if using external pulse modulators. (See diagram for details of
the D-sub connector.)
□
Fast CW Sweep (Option 118)
This option uses FIFO (fi rst-in fi rst-out) to allow external point-
trigger acquisition of 400,000 data points per second on fi ve
measurement receivers. When enabled, there is no display
update, no background computation, or other interference
from the vector network analyzer application. All the data
gathered is placed into a 500 million points FIFO buffer. While
the data is going into FIFO it can be read from the FIFO buffer.
Accessories
□
Rack mount kit without handles (Option 1CM)
Adds a rack mount (5063-9217) and rail kit (E3663AC) for use
□
Pulse I/O adapter (N1966A)
An adapter for connecting between the Pulse I/O connector on
the rear panel of the PNA-X and the coaxial inputs and outputs
of external pulse generators and external pulse modulators.
Coaxial connectors are SMB-male. The PULSE IN connectors
are for controlling the PNA-X's internal IF gates, which are
enabled with Option H08 and used with narrowband detection.
The PULSE OUT connectors are from the PNA-X's four internal
pulse generators, which are enabled with Option 025. The
PULSE SYNC IN connector is used to synchronize the internal
pulse generators with an external timing pulse. The RF PULSE
MOD IN connector controls the internal pulse modulator(s) which
are enabled with Options 021 and 022.
