Agilent Technologies has introduced PNA-X, a network analyser that offers microwave analysis from 10 MHz to 25,6 GHz. The analyser is essentially a single-connection solution for two-tone and swept LO measurements, featuring an integrated second source and signal combining network.
Agilent says that the PNA-X reduces test costs, setup time, measurement complexity and the time it takes to make measurements on the broadest range of components. It is, therefore, optimised for engineers in the defence and wireless communications industries developing and testing high-performance active devices such as amplifiers, mixers and converters.
"The development of high-performance active devices can be very challenging, particularly with regards to manufacturing throughput and yield. Agilent's PNA-X, however, address these challenges by reducing the time and complexity it takes to measure a broad range of components," says Andrew Lees, the internal sales team leader at Concilium Technologies, the local distributor for Agilent.
The PNA-X is currently the only 2-port network analyser available with an internal second source. A new signal routing architecture transforms it from a pure network analyser to an RF measurement hub for amplifiers and frequency converters.
With two internal signal sources - each with high output power (+16 dBm), low harmonics (-59 dBc), a wide power sweep range (40 dB), and a built-in pulse modulator and signal combiner, the network analyser can perform amplifier intermodulation distortion, hot S22, traditional S-parameter and pulsed-S-parameter measurements along with harmonic and compression measurements. Additionally, its integrated second source can be used as a fast fixed-IF or swept-LO signal for testing mixers and converters.
