Keysight has introduced the PNA-X Pro, the new NA520xA high-performance network analyzer. NA520xA is the world’s most integrated and flexible microwave test engine for measuring amplifiers, mixers, frequency converters, and other active devices.
The hardware includes four independent sources, two low-noise receivers, two internal combiners, four pulse modulators and eight pulse generators, and a flexible set of switches and RF access points.
These hardware features provide a powerful core for a broad range of linear and nonlinear measurements, all with a single set of connections to your device under test.
Key benefits
- Simplify your measurement setup for frequency-translating and differential active devices using four integrated, independent signal sources with ultra-low phase noise direct digital synthesis RF.
- Eliminate the need for external switches to reverse the direction of your device under test during noise figure and intermodulation distortion (IMD) measurements using two integrated low-noise receivers and signal combiners.
- Improve measurement dynamic range by leveraging preselection filters built into the integrated low-noise receivers.
- Minimize the cabling required for complex device testing using the highly configurable test set architecture, including front-panel loop and switch access on the source path and direct receiver access for high-power measurements.
