Agilent Technologies has introduced five new PNA-L vector network analyser (VNA) models, offering design and manufacturing engineers high performance (up to 50 GHz) in a mid-range VNA, along with lower cost and future-proof capabilities.
The N523xA PNA-L vector network analysers replace existing N5230C models. They are available in five frequency models, starting at 300 kHz, with two or four ports available for the 13,5 and 20 GHz models, and two ports available for the 8,5, 43,5 and 50 GHz products.
The models feature both increased measurement range (5 dBm more output power and 20 dB more dynamic range) and speed (the result of a new synthesiser with faster frequency switching). They also offer an improved user interface with a 24% bigger display. Because the models are 100% compatible with the N5230C PNA-L, no changes to the user’s current test setup are required.
The new PNA-L models use the Agilent PNA-X’s innovative components, including the CPU and display. Sharing a common hardware platform allows the PNA-L to realise continuous performance improvements as the PNA-X hardware improves. Moreover, PNA-L models can run applications previously only offered on the PNA-X platform, such as gain compression and fast continuous wave mode.
Providing a lower-price alternative to the PNA and PNA-X network analysers, the new PNA-L models are well suited for a range of applications, including S-parameters of passive components and simple active device measurements of amplifier and frequency converters. They can also be used in material measurements and for signal-integrity analysis.
The PNA family offers advanced connectivity via LAN, USB and GPIB; an easy-to-use open architecture based on the Microsoft Windows operating system; and an extensive embedded help system.
