The Keysight N5244A PNA-X network analyzer covers 10 MHz to 43.5 GHz, making it suitable for Q-band and Ka-band applications. This extended frequency range supports characterization of millimeter-wave components, high-frequency amplifiers, and wideband communication systems. The instrument maintains excellent measurement performance across the entire frequency span.
Option 400 provides a 4-port standard test set with twelve front-panel access loops, standard power range, and an internal second source. This configuration enables full 4-port S-parameter measurements without requiring external switches or combiners. It is recommended to order Option 080 with Option 400 to independently control the frequency of the second internal source for advanced applications.
The N5244A uses 2.4 mm male connectors on all test ports. These precision connectors are rated for frequencies up to 50 GHz and provide excellent electrical performance at millimeter-wave frequencies. The 2.4 mm interface offers superior repeatability compared to 3.5 mm connectors and is the industry standard for measurements above 26.5 GHz.
The N5244A with Option 400 delivers system dynamic range of 127 dB from 3.2 to 8.5 GHz with 13 dBm output power and -114 dBm noise floor at 10 Hz IF bandwidth. From 8.5 to 20 GHz, dynamic range remains at 127 dB on ports 1 and 3. Performance varies at higher frequencies, with 124 dB from 20 to 40 GHz and approximately 113 dB from 40 to 43.5 GHz.
Yes, the N5244A can be configured with Option 419 which adds source and receiver attenuators for extended power range and bias tees to the 4-port test set. Alternatively, Option 423 provides the most comprehensive configuration including extended power range, attenuators, internal combiner, mechanical switches, and bias tees for DC biasing of active devices through all test ports.
Yes, the N5244A with Option 400 includes an internal second source which enables mixer and frequency converter measurements when combined with appropriate measurement software applications. For the most advanced mixer characterization including gain compression and noise figure, upgrading to Option 423 adds combiner, switches, and other hardware specifically designed for nonlinear and frequency-converting device testing.
Maximum leveled output power varies by frequency. From 100 MHz to 20 GHz, the N5244A delivers 13 dBm on ports 1 and 3, and 10 to 13 dBm on ports 2 and 4. From 20 to 40 GHz, power is typically 10 to 13 dBm depending on the specific frequency and port. At the highest frequencies from 40 to 43.5 GHz, output power reduces to approximately 5 to 8 dBm.
The N5244A is an A-model that was discontinued in June 2019. It has been replaced by the N5244B, which is the current B-model version with improved performance and updated features. If you need a PNA-X analyzer covering 10 MHz to 43.5 GHz, the N5244B is the recommended current production model with similar configurations and enhanced capabilities.
