N5245B is a multifunctional, high-performance, and integrated microwave vector network analyzer. It is not only capable of measuring traditional S-parameters (scattering parameters), but also a complete testing platform that integrates signal sources, analyzers, receivers, and even built-in pulse modulators and audio sources. Its design goal is to simplify complex testing, improve testing speed and accuracy, and is widely used in the research and verification of high-frequency and high complexity devices and systems.

Key models and frequencies

·Model: N5245B
·Frequency range: 10 MHz to 50 GHz
·This is the standard frequency range for this model. By using an external harmonic mixer, it can be further extended to the millimeter wave frequency band (such as 110 GHz, 1.1 THz).

1. Two in one integrated platform:
·Network analysis+spectrum analysis: Without the need for an external spectrum analyzer, spectrum analysis, harmonic measurement, spurious measurement, and phase noise measurement can be directly performed.
·Network analysis+signal source analysis: The built-in signal source can output and analyze modulated signals (such as pulses).
2. Nonlinear and power device testing experts:
·Built in second signal source: This is the signature feature of PNA-X. Two highly synchronized signal sources enable it to easily perform key nonlinear tests such as intermodulation distortion (TOI), compression point (P1dB), harmonics, gain scanning, etc.
·Pulse measurement capability: Equipped with a built-in pulse modulator and pulse generator, it supports S-parameter measurement of wide pulses, narrow pulses, and fast rise time pulses, making it an ideal choice for testing radar components such as T/R modules, limiters, and filters.
3. Hardware performance:
·Dynamic range:>132 dB (typical value), capable of accurately measuring high isolation devices.
·Output power:>+13 dBm (typical value), capable of fully driving power devices into compression state.
·Trace noise:<0.004 dB rms, providing extremely stable and accurate measurement results.
·Structure: Four port standard configuration, expandable to up to 24 ports through a multi port testing kit, meeting the testing needs of multiple antennas and multi-channel devices.
4. Powerful application software support:
·Nonlinear Vector Network Analysis (NVNA) software: supports X-parameter measurement, which is a more accurate model for describing the behavior of nonlinear devices.
·Noise factor measurement (optional): Without the need for an external noise source, the noise factor and gain of the amplifier can be directly measured.
·Gain compression application software: automates power scanning and compression point search.
·Antenna testing application software: supports active and passive antenna measurement.

Main application areas

·Aerospace and Defense: Radar System Components (T/R Modules, Filters, Antennas), Electronic Warfare Equipment, Satellite Communication Components.
·Wireless communication (5G/6G): base station power amplifier (PA), filter, duplexer, RF front-end module (FEM), millimeter wave device.
·Semiconductor and chip: S-parameter and nonlinear characteristic verification of high-performance RF microwave chips (MMICs) such as GaN and GaAs.
·Research and production testing of almost all passive and active components such as amplifiers, mixers, attenuators, cables, connectors, etc. for general RF microwave components.

Typical Configuration and Options

When purchasing N5245B, users need to choose according to their needs:

·Frequency range (e.g. 10 MHz -50 GHz)
