Keysight Technologies Inc. Add noise figure measurement capability to 4-port analyzer (option 029 upgrade)
The Keysight N5244BU-429 is an upgrade option for the PNA-X Series Microwave Network Analyzer, specifically designed to add noise figure measurement capability (Option 029) to a 4-port analyzer. This upgrade enables advanced noise figure measurements, allowing users to characterize the noise performance of amplifiers, mixers, and other RF components with high accuracy. The option integrates seamlessly with the PNA-X hardware and software, providing calibrated, vector-corrected noise figure measurements over a wide frequency range. This capability is essential for R&D and manufacturing environments where precise noise characterization is critical. The upgrade is compatible with existing 4-port PNA-X analyzers and leverages the instruments flexible architecture to deliver reliable and repeatable results.
