S97111B Active Hot Parameters for P50xxA/B Streamline Series VNA

• Removes active device and system interaction and precisely calculates the active parameters and output power into a 50 ohm environment.
• Removes system-to-system correlation problems for improved accuracy.
• Uses X-parameters* technology for generalized nonlinear performance characterization.
• Provides various traces for detailed analysis of:
  o hot S11/12/21/22, hot gain, hot match
  o input/output power
  o coefficient (output, direct reflection, image reflection)
  o gamma-optimum, optimal load match, and maximum delivered power
  

The Keysight S97111B active hot parameters software application for P50xxA/B Streamline Series VNA provides a more accurate method to test hot S-parameters, gain, and output power than traditional methods by utilizing X-parameters technology. It removes the active device and system interaction to precisely calculate the active parameters and output power into a nominal 50 ohm environment. The advanced theory removes system-to-system correlation problems. It also provides coefficients of equation to calculate linear and non-linear device performance of gamma-opt (optimum), optimal load match, and maximum delivered power to optimum load. The S97111B software application operates up to 50 GHz and delivers a total of 14 traces (parameters) with various sweep types, such as frequency sweep, power sweep, or two-dimensional frequency and power sweep.

The S97111B software application requires either the P502xA/B with internal second source option (Option 402) or multi-instrument configurations using S97551B software.
