Microwave PNA Series

Measurement capabilities

Number of measurement channels

Thirty-two independent measurement channels. A
measurement channel is coupled to stimulus settings
including frequency, IF bandwidth, power level, and
number of points.

Number of display windows

Unlimited display windows. Each window can be sized
and re-arranged.


Number of traces

Up to 24 active traces and 24 memory traces per
window. Measurement traces include S-parameters, as
well as relative and absolute power measurements.

Measurement choices

S11, S21, S12, S22, A/R1, A/R2, A/B, B/R1, B/R2, B/A,
R1/A, R1/B, R1/R2, R2/A, R2/B, R2/R1, A, B, R1, R2

Formats

Log or linear magnitude, SWR, phase, group delay, real
and imaginary, Smith chart, polar.

Data markers

Ten independent markers per trace. Reference marker
available for delta marker operation. Marker formats
include log or linear magnitude, phase, real, imaginary,
SWR, delay, R + jX, and G + jB.

Marker functions

Marker search
Maximum value, minimum value, target, next peak,
peak right, peak left, target, and bandwidth with
user-defined target values

Marker-to functions
Set start, stop, and center to active marker stimulus
value; set reference to active marker response value; set
electrical delay to active marker phase response value.

Trace statistics
Calculates and displays mean, standard deviation and
peak-to-peak deviation of the data trace.

Tracking
Performs new search continuously or on demand.

Source control

Measured number of points per sweep

User definable from 2 to 20,001.

Sweep type

Linear, CW (single frequency), power or segment sweep.

Segment sweep

Create a segment sweep, which consists of frequency
subsweeps, called segments. For each segment, define
independent power levels, IF bandwidth, and sweep
time. The number of segments is limited only by the
combined number of data points for all segments in
a sweep. The combined number of data points for all
segments in a sweep cannot exceed 20,001.

Sweep trigger

Set to continuous, hold, single, or group sweep with
internal or external trigger.

Power

Power slope can be set in dBm/GHz. Control the test
port signal by setting the internal attenuator of the test
set over a 60-dB range.

Trace functions

Display data

Display current measurement data, memory data, or
current measurement with measurement and memory
data simultaneously.

Trace math

Vector addition, subtraction, multiplication or division
of current linear measurement values and memory data.

Display annotations

Start/stop, center/span, or CW frequency, scale/div,
reference level, marker data, warning and caution
messages, trace status, and pass/fail indication.

Title

Add custom titles (50 characters maximum) to the
display. Titles will be printed when making hardcopies
of displayed measurements.

Autoscale

Automatically selects scale resolution and reference
value to center the trace.

Electrical delay

Offset measured phase or group delay by a defined
amount of electrical delay, in seconds.

Phase offset

Offset measured phase or group delay by a defined
