System Description

User's Guide N5252-90002

System Components

• M9374A PXIe Network Analyzer Modules (300 kHz-20 GHz).

• N5252AW12 - TxRx VNAX Millimeter-wave VDI VNA Extenders (60-90 GHz).

• M9005A PXIe Chassis: 5-slot, 3U, with an Integrated System Module and a PCIe

desktop adapter for use with a tower computer.

• N5262AC12 - WR12 (E-Band, 60-90 GHz) Calibration Kit from VDI. See Figure 3.

• Cable sets (1.2 m) and power supplies.

• USB drive with power level data of N5252AW12 extenders and VDI User's Guide.

Not provided, but required, are a tower computer with an available PCIe

slot, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Refer to the M9005A PXIe Chassis

User Guide for computer requirements.

Recommended Accessories

• N1913A/14A Power Meter or equivalent

• E8486A-200 (with Option 002) Waveguide Power Sensor, or

U8489A with E281CS Adapter

• Option 200 provides items for a 2-Port E-Band (60-90 GHz) system. See Figure 1.

• Option 400 provides items for a 4-Port E-Band (60-90 GHz) system. See Figure 2.

Limitations

Features

• Not all applications are supported. See Table 2 on page 7.

• All ports must be configured for a mm-wave system or a M9374A VNA system. You

cannot configure the system for a mm-wave and 20 GHz VNA system at the same time.

• Trace noise for receiver and wave measurements will degrade for IF bandwidths less than

100 Hz.

•This is a sensitive measurement apparatus by design and may have some performance

loss (up to 35 dB above the noise floor) when exposed to ambient continuous

electromagnetic phenomenon in 3-5 MHz when tested per IEC 61000-4-6.

• The VNA provides power level adjustment at the output of the Frequency Extender.

• Enhanced power level accuracy with calibration using your power meter and power

sensor.

• Can be used as a 300 kHz to 20 GHz VNA or mm-wave system.
