This is the technical specifications for the N5244A and N5245A PNA-X network analyzer with option H29. Option H29, adds 26.5 GHz low-noise receivers to N5244A/45A for fully-corrected noise figure measurements of amplifiers, frequency converters, and mixers, utilizing source-correction technique (requires option 4, 49 and 423). See the block diagram. Option 4, 4-port standard test set (includes twelve front-panel access loops), power range, and an internal second source (Option 8 recommended). Option 49, adds 4-port extended power range, source and receiver attenuators, and bias-tees (requires Option 4). Option 423, adds an internal combiner, and mechanical switches to the 4-port analyzer (requires Option 4, 49, and 8). Notes In noise mode, the S-parameter measurement performance above 26.5 GHz is degraded due to the 26.5 GHz noise coupler in the port 2 source path (shown in green on the block diagram on page 3). Noise measurements are not specified above 26.5GHz. This document provides technical specifications for the 8556A calibration kit, and the N4693A 2- Port ECal module. Please download our free Uncertainty Calculator from http://www.agilent.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for your calibration kit and PNA setup. Definitions All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 C ±5 C range (unless otherwise stated) and 9 minutes after the instrument has been turned on. Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions. Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a specification. Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit which does not include guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty. Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty. Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer's systematic (repeatable) errors. Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well "known" they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise. Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration. Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise.

Specifications: N5244A and N5245A Option H29 General specifications apply to Option H29 with the port noise tuner switch set to the internal position except as stated below. By default, the switch is set to the external position to ensure functional compatibility with existing PNA instruments. Refer to the Help System topic Noise Figure Application for information on setting the switch position. Corrected System Performance with 3.5mm Connectors Note: For any Sii reflection measurement: Sjj =. For any Sij transmission measurement: Sji = Sij when Sij Sji = /Sij when Sij Skk = for all k Table. 8556A Calibration Kit N5244A and N5245A Option H29 Applies to the N5244A and N5245A analyzer with Option H29, an 8556A (2.4mm) calibration kit, an 8533F flexible test port cable set, and a full 2-port calibration.
