Keysight Technologies S93029A

Description

The S93029A noise figure application enables high-accuracy noise figure and noise-power measurements of amplifiers, frequency converters, and mixers, utilizing Keysight’s unique vector-source-correction technique that uses a source-impedance tuner to remove the effects of imperfect system-source match. This approach yields accuracy that surpasses that provided by the Y-factor method and other cold-source implementations, especially for in-fixture, on-wafer, and automated-test environments. A scalar-calibrated method is also available that offers less accuracy, but is faster and does not require an impedance tuner.

Key Features & Specifications

·         Measure noise figure of amplifiers, mixers, and converters up to 67 GHz (use low-noise receiver up to 50 GHz and use the standard receiver from 50 GHz to 67 GHz)

·         With a single connection, obtain fast, high accuracy measurements of S-parameters, noise figure, compression, IMD, harmonics, and more

·         Surpasses the accuracy provided by Y-factor-based noise-figure analysers or spectrum analysers

·         Front panel jumpers provide convenient spot for adding a preamplifier for low gain, low noise figure devices

·         Fast sweep times improve throughput in manufacturing
