Page 28Find us at www.keysight.comAdd pulse modulator to internal first source(Option 021) PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source1Out1. Control of the modulator can be done via pin 8 of the PulseI/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using anexternal pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulsegenerators enabled with S93025/26B/A. The N1966A pulse I/Oadapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.Add pulse modulator to internal second source(Option 022) PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source2Out1. Control of the modulator can be done via pin 8 of the PulseI/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer using anexternal pulse generator, or by using one of the internal pulsegenerators enabled with S93025/26B/A. The N1966A pulse I/Oadapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.Requires one of text set options 22x or 4xx.Add IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave(Option 020) PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis option enables external IF inputs on the rear panel of theanalyzer for applications such as antenna test and for use withmillimeter-wave test set controllers (for more information aboutmillimeter-wave network analyzer configurations, see Millimeter-Wave Network Analyzers Technical Overview, 5989-7620EN).Fast CW sweep (S93118B/A)PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis option uses a FIFO (first-in first-out) buffer to allow externalpoint-trigger acquisition of 400,000 data points per second on fivemeasurement receivers. When enabled, there is no display update,no background computation, or other interference from the vectornetwork analyzer application. All the data gathered is placed intoa 500-million-point FIFO buffer. Data may be read from the FIFObuffer at the same time as it is filled.Nonlinear vector network analysisPlease refer to 5989-8575EN Nonlinear Vector NetworkAnalyzer Brochure for more information.PNA Family Applications and Options (Continued)Pulse, antenna, mm-wave applications andoptionsSolid black series name indicates the feature is available on thatseries, whil e gray series name with strikethroughindicates the feature is not available on that series. For example:PNA: Available on PNA SeriesPNA: Not available on PNA SeriesBasic pulsed-RF measurements (S93025B/A)PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis application enables four internal pulse generators that canbe used to control the internal pulse modulators (Options 021and 022), and it provides an integrated pulse application thatuses the wideband-detection method. The pulse applicationprovides an easy way to set up point-in-pulse measurementswith pulse width as narrow as 200 ns, and pulse-profilemeasurements with 50 ns minimum timing resolution. Using thebuilt-in pulse modulators, the PNA and PNA-X are completepulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need forexternal test sets and pulse generators. S93025B/A also controlsexternal pulse generators and modulators, and can synchronizeto external master pulses. Option 021 is recommended forforward-only pulsed-RF measurements, and Options 021and 022 are recommended for bi-directional pulsed-RFmeasurements. The N1966A Pulse I/O adapter is recommendedif using external master pulses or external pulse modulators.123456789011121314151Pulse I/O D-sub connector (DB-15 female)Advanced pulsed-RF measurements (S93026B/A)PNA-X PNA PNA-LThis application includes all of the capability of S93025B/A(including enabling the four internal pulse generators), andadds the narrowband-pulse-detection method to extend pulsemeasurement capability to 20 ns pulse widths for point-in-pulsemeasurements, and 10 ns timing resolution for pulse-profilemeasurements. With narrowband-detection mode, S93026B/Asets the coefficient of the analyzer’s digital-IF filters to null outunwanted spectral components, enables the receiver IF gates,and performs optimization for measurement sensitivity. Usingthe built-in pulse modulators, the PNA and PNA-X are completepulsed-RF measurement solutions, eliminating the need forexternal test sets and pulse generators. S93026B/A also controlsexternal pulse generators and modulators, and can synchronizeto external master pulses.
