New DDS Source
High-performance analog-
signal-generator grade phase
noise helps you to save your
test time and simplify your
test configuration.
More sources
The third RF source on 4-
port PNA-X simplifies
measurement configuration
for complex measurements
and save bench footprint.
Applications
Modulation distortion
application helps you to
measure EVM/NPR of
amplifiers, mixers and
frequency converters.

Current PNA Enhanced PNA with new DDS synthesizers
Frequency: 20 GHz, Span: 2 GHz, IFBW: 10 kHz
SMC+Phase measurement - Data deviation from linear phase
4.5 seconds with averaging 0.1 seconds with no averaging
Today’s instruments test quickly but increase uncertainty, now you can measure faster
without sacrificing accuracy
To get the same stable phase measurement, it takes

• Reliable, repeatable measurements at
higher frequencies with 30 dB more
dynamic range in sub-THz measurements (using the new PNA, the N5292A test set, and
frequency extenders)

• Complex measurements require
multiple instruments, but the 3rd source
eliminates the need for an external
signal generator for mixer IMD
measurements
• Three high-performance analog signal
generators
• Can be used as an independent signal
generator.

• Signal source upgrade for the current PNA/PNA-X B models
• N52xxBU-2S7 for all single-source 2-port PNA/PNA-Xs:
$13,900 + 1.5 hours installation labor at service center [total about $15k]

• Upgrade work: It can be done at the local service center
• When you upgrade PNA/PNA-X A models, you also need to upgrade the unit
to the B model. http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/b-upgrade.html (N8989A-SR6 synthesizers are not needed even in the case that those are needed, because the new signal
sources will be added with this source upgrade.)
