13 | Keysight | PNA Microwave Network Analyzers - Brochure PNA - The standard for accuracy All the network analyzers in the PNA family are known for their high-levels of stability, contributing to accurate calibrations and measurements. With the PNA-X, users can beneit from exceptional levels of dynamic accuracy. For users in non-linear environments, the PNA’s Scalar Mixer Calibration provides a higher level of measurement accuracy. Stability of a 20 GHz PNA over a 30-hour period1 It is clear that the more stable the hardware, the better the calibration, since it can correct the errors better. The calibration will remain stable as a function of time and temperature, and calibrations will not need to be updated as often. Typical dynamic accuracy of a PNA-X, with –20 dBm power If you are measuring a device with 20 dB insertion loss, the contribution of the dynamic accuracy error (receiver linearity) is less than 0.01 dB. Scalar-mixer calibration versus a simple power meter/receiver calibration Note the effects of mismatch that are corrected for by SMC.

110 GHz PNA drift over a 24-hour period1

As you can see on the graph, the 110 GHz PNA drifts less than 0.7 dB, after 24 hours, at 110 GHz. Keysight’s 110 GHz PNA system is the most stable mmwave system in the industry. 1. Measurements made at 25 ± 1 degree Celcuis.
