PNA-L – Speed and Accuracy You Can Count On – Balanced/Differential Measurements and Multiport Test

Easily measure single-ended, balanced, and mixed-mode S-parameters, in addition to ratioed and unratioed receiver measurements.

New multiport components require complicated test plans. Multiple port combinations must be tested over several frequency bands, resulting in lengthy tests. To reduce test time and lower costs, the PNA-L/PNA-X and test set combinations have been designed for high-speed measurements. To further simplify complex test requirements, up to 32 independent channels are available, eliminating the need for recalling instrument states.
