Agilent 2-Port and 4-Port PNA-L Network Analyzer

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the technical specifications for Agilent's 2-Port and 4-Port PNA-L Network Analyzers, specifically models N5239A, N5231A, and N5232A, which operate within frequency ranges from 300 kHz to 20 GHz. It provides comprehensive details on system performance, calibration kits, and measurement capabilities.
Documentation Warranty
The document is provided "as is" and may be subject to change without notice. Agilent disclaims all warranties, and liability for errors or damages is limited unless a separate agreement is in place.
Corrected System Performance
This section details the performance specifications for the N5231A and N5232A models under specific conditions, such as a 10 Hz IF bandwidth and no data averaging. Key parameters include system dynamic range and receiver dynamic range, defined by the maximum output power minus the noise floor.
System Dynamic Range and Receiver Dynamic Range
The system dynamic range is the difference between the specified source maximum output power and the noise floor. The receiver dynamic range is the test port compression at 0.1 dB minus the noise floor. An extended dynamic range is available for direct receiver access input, beneficial for devices with high insertion loss.
Calibration Kits
The document specifies the 85052B, N4691B, and N4433A calibration kits. Users are encouraged to utilize Agilent's Uncertainty Calculator for generating calibration curves.
Tables and Data
Numerous tables provide detailed information on dynamic range, power levels, noise floors, and other performance metrics for different models and configurations, offering both specified and typical values to highlight expected performance under various conditions.
General Information
Additional sections provide general information about the analyzers, including dimensions, weight, and regulatory compliance. Measurement throughput and cycle times for different models and configurations are also summarized.
Conclusion
This document serves as a comprehensive guide to the technical specifications and performance characteristics of the Agilent PNA-L Network Analyzers, offering essential information for users to optimize their measurement setups.
