170/250 GHz Millimeter-Wave Broadband Vector Network Analyzer Solutions Using Frequency Extenders
Technical Overviews
Keysight’s new NA5305A/7A Frequency extenders with 0.5 mm coaxial test port connector enable you to configure a millimeter-wave broadband VNA up to 170 GHz/250 GHz using the N522x/4xB PNA/PNA-X Microwave network analyzer and the N5292A Test set controller and measure S-parameters and power. Keysight’s 85065A 0.5 mm coaxial precision calibration kit, which includes the impedance standards to 250 GHz and a combination of the U8489A 1.0 mm USB thermocouple power sensor and waveguide power sensors allow the user to fully calibrate the broadband measurement setup up to 250 GHz. The N522xB PNA/N524xB PNA-X network analyzer with the N5292A test set controller and the NA5305A/NA5307A 170 GHz/250 GHz frequency extenders provide fully calibrated broadband, single-sweep S-parameter measurements from 100 kHz/10 MHz to 170/250 GHz.
The NA5305/7A frequency extenders equipped with a ruggedized 0.5mm coaxial male test port connector are designed compact and lightweight and driven and controlled with a PNA/PNA-X network analyzer and a P9500A frequency extender hub via USB.
The 85065A 0.5 mm coaxial precision calibration kit includes 16 calibration standards to accurately calibrate the VNA measurement setup up to 250 GHz. You can configure a 4-port VNA to make differential measurements of semiconductor device characterization/modeling up to 250 GHz for various applications: 6G research and data center network for 1.6 Tb, 3.2 Tb and beyond, like signal integrity and modeling of passive devices, PCBs, cables, packages, Optical RF drivers and TIAs (Transimpedance Amplifiers) can also be measured.
