□ Add four internal pulse generators (Option 025)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option enables four internal pulse generators. These pulse
generators can be used to control the internal pulse modulators
and internal receiver IF gates, and are also available on pins 10
through 13 of the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel
of the analyzer to control external modulators and/or gates. The
N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended if using external
pulse modulators.
Pulse I/O D-sub connector (DB-15 female)
□ Fast CW Sweep (Option 118)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option uses FIFO (first-in first-out) to allow external point-
trigger acquisition of 400,000 data points per second on five
measurement receivers. When enabled, there is no display
update, no background computation, or other interference from
the vector network analyzer application. All the data gathered is
placed into a 500 million points FIFO buffer. While the data is
going into FIFO it can be read from the FIFO buffer.

Solid black series name indicates the feature is available
on that series, while gray series name with strikethrough
indicates the feature is not available on that series. For
example;
PNA: Available on PNA Series
PNA: Not available on PNA Series
□ Pulsed-RF measurements (Option 008)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option adds narrowband pulse detection mode and extends
the pulsed-RF measurement capability to narrower pulse widths
below the limit for the standard wideband detection mode. The
PNA-X and PNA are complete pulsed-RF solutions with built in
pulse generators and modulators, so external test sets and pulse
generators are not required. With narrowband detection mode,
Option 008 sets the coefficient of the analyzer’s digital-IF filters to
null out unwanted spectral components, enables the internal
receiver IF gates, controls internal pulse generators (Option 025),
internal pulse modulators (Option 021 and/or 022), and external
pulse modulators, and performs optimization for measurement
sensitivity. Option 008 also includes conventional pulsed-RF mea-
surement software (Option H08). Option 025 is required. Option 021
is recommended for forward-only pulsed-RF measurements.
Option 021 and 022 are recommended for bi-directional pulsed-RF
measurements. The N1966A pulse I/O adapter is recommended
if using external pulse generators and/or external pulse modulators
□ Add IF inputs for antenna and millimeter-wave (Option 020)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option enables external IF inputs on the rear panel of the
analyzer for applications such as antenna and millimeter-wave test.
□ Add pulse modulator to internal first source (Option 021)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source1
Out1. Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of
the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer
using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the inter-
nal pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O
adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.
□ Add pulse modulator to internal second source (Option 022)
PNA-X PNA PNA-L
This option enables the internal pulse modulator on Source2
Out1. Control of the modulator can also be done via pin 8 of
the Pulse I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel of the analyzer
using an external pulse generator, or by using one of the inter-
nal pulse generators (Option 025). The N1966A pulse I/O
adapter is recommended if using an external pulse generator.
Option 224 or 400 is required for PNA-X, and one of Option 400,
401, 417, or 419 is required for PNA.
