Product Overview
The N524xB PNA-X network analyzer with option 029 and the S93029B noise figure application enables high-accuracy noise figure 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. An ECal module works fine as the source impedance tuner for matched devices with gamma-opts <0.3 but not for unmatched devices with gamma-opts <0.9.
The S93027B enables to control Maury Microwave’s LXI tuner as the impedance tuner and measure the noise figure and parameters of unmatched devices.
The S93027B software operation requires the PNA-X with option 029, the S93029B software and Maury Microwave’s LXI tuner.
| Key Features |
| Extend the capability of the noise figure measurements with the PNA-X w/ option, 029 and the S93029B to unmatched devices (Gamma opt. <0.9) |
| Controls Maury Microwave’s LXI tuner as the impedance tuner instead of an ECal module |
| Accurately characterize low noise active devices for R&D, DVT and Manufacturing |

Note:
¹ Supported software license types: fixed-perpetual (1FP), transportable-perpetual (1TP), fixed-1-year (1FY), and transportable1-year (1TY) (note: S93093B, S93094B, S93898B, and S94510B have fixed-license types only).
² For N522xB and N5241/42/49B, vector-noise-corrected measurements require an ECal for use as an impedance tuner. For N5244/45/47B with Option 029, an internal tuner is included. Noise calibration requires a power meter when using a standard receiver. When using the low-noise receiver (Option 029), either a power meter or a 346-series noise source is required (Keysight 346C or 346C-K01 recommended). A power meter is required for measuring mixers and converters.
³ A configurable test set is required for VMC measurements to connect a reference mixer, or for SMC+Phase measurements using the comb-generator-based calibration. When ordered with PNA test set Options 200, 210, 400, or 410 (no front-panel jumpers), phase and delay measurements can only by done using SMC+Phase with a calibration mixer.
⁴ S93087B can be used without PNA-X Options 22x or 42x, but external equipment such as a signal generator and a combiner may be required.
⁵ A test set with internal receiver attenuators is recommended to avoid receiver compression when measuring large input signals.
⁶ When ordering a test set, select an appropriate interface kit.
⁷ When configured as a multiport analyzer using S93551B and a multiport test set, the combiner feature of Option 22x or 42x is temporarily disabled. When configured as a standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled.
⁸ PNA-X models only.
