The Agilent PNA-X premier-performance
network analyzers are designed for high
performance active device tests that help
you minimize design iterations, test system
integration, and significantly simplifies test
processes. The industry-leading performance
and highly integrated, configurable nature of
the PNA-X makes it the ideal solution for
comprehensive network analysis and tests.
The PNA-X is available with frequency range
of 10 MHz to 13.5, 26.5, 43.5, and 50 and
67 GHz, and offers 2- or 4-port models. The
PNA-X’s very low harmonics internal source
is ideal for active device characterization, and
delivers the highest accuracy. The optional
second internal source (standard for 4-port
model) together with internal combining
network allows fast swept intermodulation
distortion measurements for amplifiers.
Internal path switches and rear access
loops provide maximum flexibility for
integrating signal conditioning components
or external instruments, and turn the PNA-X
into a test hub for a single-connection
multiple-measurement (SCMM) solution.
The noise figure measurement option
employs an innovative error-correction
technique and delivers the most accurate
noise figure measurements in the market.
The enhanced user interface, large and
crisp display with touch screen, and flexible
remote interfaces maximize productivity in
design and production environments.
The award winning nonlinear vector network
analyzer application provides a critical leap
in technology to go beyond S-parameters,
allowing you to efficiently and accurately
analyze and design active devices under
real world operating conditions.
