1 Agilent PNA Microwave Network Analyzers Data Sheet This document describes the performance and features of the Agilent Technologies PNA microwave network analyzers: E8362B E8363B E8364B E836A MHz to 2 GHz MHz to 4 GHz MHz to 5 GHz MHz to 67 GHz Note: For the complete and most current instrument, calibration kit and connector specifications, refer to the online Help file in the manuals library on our web site:

2 Some Definitions All specifications and characteristics apply over a 25 C ±5 C range (unless otherwise stated) and 9 minutes after the instrument has been turned on. Calibration: The process of measuring known standards to characterize a network analyzer s systematic (repeatable) errors. Characteristic (char.): A performance parameter that the product is expected to meet before it leaves the factory, but that is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A characteristic includes the same guardbands as a specification. Corrected (residual): Indicates performance after error correction (calibration). It is determined by the quality of calibration standards and how well known they are, plus system repeatability, stability, and noise. Nominal (nom.): A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance. It is not covered by the product warranty. Specification (spec.): Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions. Standard: When referring to the analyzer, this includes no options unless noted otherwise. Typical (typ.): Expected performance of an average unit, which does not include guardbands. It is not covered by the product warranty. Uncorrected (raw): Indicates instrument performance without error correction. The uncorrected performance affects the stability of a calibration. 2

System dynamic range Description Specification (db) Typical (db) at direct Supplemental information at test port 2 receiver access input 3 Dynamic range Standard configuration and standard power range (E8362/3/4B) to 45 MHz 4 79 N/A 45 to 5 MHz 5 94 N/A 5 MHz to 2 GHz 9 N/A 2 to GHz 22 N/A to 2 GHz 23 N/A 2 to 3 GHz 4 N/A 3 to 4 GHz N/A 4 to 45 GHz 9 N/A 45 to 5 GHz 4 N/A Extended configuration and standard power range (E8362/3/4B-Option 4) to 45 MHz to 5 MHz MHz to 2 GHz to GHz to 2 GHz to 3 GHz 23 3 to 4 GHz 7 9 Option 6 degrades 4 to 45 GHz 5 6 performance by 2 db 45 to 5 GHz 4. The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the source maximum output power. System dynamic range is a specification when the source is set to port, and a characteristic when the source is set to port 2. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. 2. The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. 3. The direct receiver access input system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. This set-up should only be used when the receiver input will never exceed its damage level. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode, the analyzer can have pre-defined frequency segments which will output a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is required (i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss). The extended range is only available in one-path transmission measurements. 4. Typical performance. 5. May be limited to db at particular frequencies below 5 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.

The receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the receiver maximum input level. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. 2. The test port receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port noise floor and the receiver maximum input level. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. 3. The direct receiver access input receiver dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the receiver maximum input level. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. This set-up should only be used when the receiver input will never exceed its compression or damage level. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode, the analyzer can have pre-defined frequency segments which will output a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is required (i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced power when compression or receiver damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss). The extended range is only available in one-path transmission measurements. 4. Typical performance. 5. May be degraded by db at particular frequencies (multiples of 5 MHz) below 5 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.

The system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the noise floor and the source maximum output power. System dynamic range is a specification when the source is set to port, and a characteristic when the source is set to port 2. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account, as well as the insertion loss resulting from a thru cable connected between port and port The test port system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the test port noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account, as well as the insertion loss resulting from a thru cable connected between port and port The direct receiver access input system dynamic range is calculated as the difference between the direct receiver access input noise floor and the source maximum output power. The effective dynamic range must take measurement uncertainties and interfering signals into account. This set-up should only be used when the receiver input will never exceed its damage level. When the analyzer is in segment sweep mode, the analyzer can have pre-defined frequency segments which will output a higher power level when the extended dynamic range is required (i.e. devices with high insertion loss), and reduced power when receiver damage may occur (i.e. devices with low insertion loss). The extended range is only available in one-path trans mission measurements. 4. Typical performance. 5. May be limited to db at particular frequencies below 5 MHz due to spurious receiver residuals. Methods are available to regain the full dynamic range.
