The PNA-X is an integrated vector network analyzer featuring a
built-in S-parameter test set, one or two synthesized sources
used for device stimulus, a solid-state drive, USB interfaces, and
a 10.4” LCD touch screen display. The N5241A and the N5242A
have 50 ohm, ruggedized 3.5 mm (m) test ports. The N5244A and
the N5245A have 50 ohm, ruggedized 2.4 mm (m) test ports. The
N5247A has 50 ohm, ruggedized 1.85 mm (m) test ports. Included
with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard (U.S. style), a 1-year
return-to-Agilent service warranty, and one day of on-site produc-
tivity assistance (PS-S20-PNA).
A test set and power configuration option is mandatory, choose
one of the following:
□ 2-port standard test set and power range (Option 200)
The standard 2-port test set comes with six front-panel access
loops. The loops provide access to the signal path between
(a) the source output and the reference receiver, (b) the source
output and directional coupler thru arm and (c) the coupled
arm of the directional coupler and the port receiver. The standard
test set also includes a solid-state internal RF transfer switch
in the R1 reference-receiver path.

□ High-power configurable and extended power range
(N524xAS Option H85/285)
With extended power range and bias-tees (Option 219),
the internal bias-tees limit the maximum test port input
power to +30 dBm. The N524xAS Option H85/285 removes
the bias-tees between the source attenuators and the test
port couplers. This extends the maximum port power that the
analyzer can safely handle to +43 dBm. Selecting Option
H85/285 adds internal attenuators and cables. The N524xAS
Option H85/285 and Option 219 can not be ordered together.
Option H85/285 is not available for the N5247A. When order-
ing, select N524xAS then add items N524xAS-H85, N524xAS-285
and N524xA-200.
□ Extended power range and bias-tees (Option 219)
Adds to the standard test set one 65 dB for N5241/42A, 60 dB
for N5244/45A, and 50 dB for N5247A source attenuator (set
table in 5 dB increments for N5241/42A and 10 dB increments
for N5244/45/47A), one 35 dB receiver attenuator (settable in
5 dB increments) for N5241/42/44/45A and 50 dB receiver
attenuator (settable in 10 dB increments) for N5247A, and one
bias-tee to each test port. Option 219 requires Option 200.
□ Add an internal second source, a combiner and mechanical
switches to 2-port analyzer (Option 224)
Available with 2-port model only, this option adds an internal
second source, a combiner and mechanical switches. The
internal second source provides an additional signal (fixed or
swept) for two-tone third-order-intercept (TOI) and intermodu-
lation testing of amplifiers, or it can be used as a fast swept-
LO signal for fixed-IF testing of mixers and converters. The
mechanical switches provide increased flexibility by having
rear panel access (front panel access for N5247A Source 1 and
2 Out 1) to signal paths for advanced applications. Access to
the second source is available through two output connectors
on the front panel. Requires Options 200, 219 and 080.
