Perform one-button noise figure and gain measurements from 10 MHz to 50 GHz
Provides multi-DUT calibration routine and measurement profiles to speed up noise figure measurements on multiple DUTs
Supports Keysight SNS Series noise sources, 346 Series noise sources, U1831C USB smart noise source, and multi-stage converters, external LO control and manual mode
Extend the frequency range to 50 GHz above (such as V/E/W/D/H-Band) with noise source, external down-converter, and external LO source combination solution
Combine with U7227x Series USB preamps for reduced noise figure measurement uncertainty
Measurements include noise figure, gain, Y-factor, effective temperature, and hot/cold power density
Estimate the overall noise figure using the measurement uncertainty calculator
Performance (hardware dependent)
Instrument noise figure: 17.25 dB at 1 GHz, 6.00 dB at 1 GHz with U7227A USB preamp
Instrument match: 1.52 at 1 GHz, 1.54 with U7227A USB preamp
Support multi-touch user interface and SCPI remote interface programming
KeysightCare software support subscription included
Keysight supports tiered application models with N-models for UXA/PXA/PXE, E-models for MXA/EXA/MXE/VXT, and W-models for CXA. The higher tiered application models can run at the lower platforms, which means N-models can run on all platforms, E-models can run on MXA/EXA/MXE/VXT and CXA, and W-models can only run on CXA
