Hello,
we are working on a test solution using a compact vna inside our test equipment.
The frequency range for our tested products is 2.4-5GHZ
I am oriented to use the P9372A VNA, but the question is what calibration kit to use for the vna?
Can i use the ecal kit N7552A to calibrate the P9372A ?
Thank you
yes - that ecal should work with your PXI VNA. if by any chance you are running older firmware, you might have to upgrade the firmware before using this ecal. Firmware upgrade can be found here.
Thank You daras for the info. However we need to build a test fixture for our product, so we need to calibrate the entire rf chain.
Therefore the N7552A is no longer needed, due to mechanical constrains we will use the 85033 mechanical calibration kit instead.
Now i have another question, i asked our local keysight distribuitor for a price quote regarding the P9372A vna.
The offer arrived with alot of licenses.
For our test purpose we need only to measure the S11 and S22 antennas reflection.
So i am wondering if i need all of the licenses listed bellow to be purchased ?
S97551A-1FL
S97082A-1FP
S97010A-1FP
S97551A-1FL (this is for enabling N-Port calibration. if you had a mulitport switched testset to go with your VNA, you would need this)
S97082A-1FP (this is for enabling measurements on mixers and converters)
S97010A-1FP (this is for enabling time domain analysis)
if all you are doing is making s-parameter measurements without using an external switched testset, then you don't need any of those options. secondly, those are all software options, which means if later-on you do find the need for any of those capabilities, you can always buy and add them later.
