Description
A filter can look perfect in the passband and still fail on its rejection skirts. The Keysight N5222B network analyzer is a PNA microwave VNA that reaches 26.5 GHz, so it can show both. Lost in HCM also lists it for rental and sale, with service on request.
Range and ports at a glance
| Maximum frequency | 26.5 GHz |
|---|---|
| Minimum frequency | 900 Hz or 10 MHz, option dependent |
| Built-in test ports | 2 or 4 |
| Maximum internal sources | 2 |
| Pulse hardware | Built-in pulse modulators and generators available |
| Instrument family | PNA microwave vector network analyzer |
Installed options change what a given unit can do, so the serial-number configuration in your quote takes precedence.
Active devices and pulsed signals
Two internal sources and a strong receiver design suit active parts such as amplifiers. Pulse modulators and generators then support fast pulsed S-parameters. Measurement applications also extend the analyzer toward gain compression, mixers and time-domain work.
Two ports or four?
Two ports handle parts with one input and one output. However, four ports cover components, fixtures and balanced devices. The lower frequency limit also depends on options, so state whether you need 900 Hz or 10 MHz.
Jobs for the Keysight N5222B network analyzer
- S-parameter tests on filters, amplifiers and antennas, such as filters and duplexers.
- Pulsed-RF and active-device characterization.
- Signal-integrity checks on cables, connectors and fixtures, for example before a production run.
- Microwave R&D and production verification.
Engineers also benchmark it against the Rohde & Schwarz ZNA26 and the Anritsu VectorStar MS4647B. Then compare the frequency floor, port count, source design, dynamic range, pulse hardware and calibration kits.
What to list in your request
Accessories decide how good a microwave measurement really is. So name the connector type, calibration kit and test cables early. Please request a quote from Lost in HCM for the Keysight N5222B network analyzer. Include your frequency floor, port count, source options, applications and dates. The network analyzers range shows related models, and you can contact SMK Vietnam for help comparing them. For official figures, visit the Keysight website.
N5222B questions
Does it measure pulsed signals?
Yes. Configurations can also include pulse modulators and pulse generators for pulsed S-parameters.
Which lower frequency applies?
It depends on options. A unit starts at either 900 Hz or 10 MHz, so confirm which one your test needs.
What should I list for a rental or purchase?
List the frequency floor, port count, connector, source options, applications, calibration kit and cables.
