Highlights

Reach for unrivaled excellence with the PNA-X network analyzer, a versatile microwave test engine that delivers precise linear and nonlinear measurements with advanced error correction on a simplified setup with an intuitive interface.

The PNA-X network analyzer hardware includes four internal signal sources, S-parameter and noise receivers, pulse modulators and generators, and a flexible set of switches, combiners, and RF access points. This highly integrated architecture allows engineers to simplify their test setups for amplifiers, mixers, frequency converters, and other active devices. Pairing these hardware integrations with an extensive selection of measurement application software offers designers and developers a broad range of linear and nonlinear measurements – on one instrument.

  • Simplify your test system by replacing an entire rack of equipment with one PNA-X network analyzer.
  • Accurately test linear and nonlinear device characterization using advanced error correction.
  • Choose from an extensive menu of measurement applications for speed, accuracy, and ease of use in advanced RF testing.
  • Accelerate insight into component behavior using a multitouch display and intuitive user interface.

The Custom Power Behind Our Instruments

Pushing the boundaries of technology requires instantaneous bandwidth, spurious-free dynamic range, and signal fidelity beyond basic measurements. Keysight powers every performance product with custom MMICs, designed in-house and manufactured in our proprietary indium phosphide (InP) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) fab with custom ASIC signal processing that ensures fast and reliable measurements. Count on Keysight to accelerate your next innovation. The PNA-X is more than just another vector network analyzer—it's precision performance with a simplified setup. In the PNA-X, Keysight semiconductors enable innovative source-per-port architecture for fast measurement speed with excellent power, phase noise, and measurement stability.

Design and Test a Phased Array Antenna

Discover the fundamental principles behind phased array antenna design and testing, including measurement techniques and calibration. Learn how the Keysight phased array test solution integrates and synchronizes digital control of the PNA-X vector network analyzer, VXG-C vector signal generator, and a compact antenna test range (CATR) to deliver fast, fully automated measurements.

Replace Racks

With its highly integrated and versatile hardware and reconfigurable measurement paths, the PNA-X replaces racks and stacks of equipment — with a single instrument. One PNA-X can take the place of the following test gear:

  • network analyzer
  • spectrum analyzer
  • two signal sources
  • noise figure meter / analyzer
  • power meters
  • switch matrix
  • digital voltmeter
