Agilent technologies has introduced five new PNA-L vector network analyzer models, offering design and manufacturing engineers the highest performance (up to 50 GHz) in a mid-range VNA, along with lower cost and future-proof capabilities. Agilent's new N523xA PNA-L vector network analyzers are available in five frequency models, starting at 300 kHz, with two or four ports available for the 13.5- and 20-GHz models, and two ports available for the 8.5-, 43.5- and 50-GHz products.
The models offer a user interface with a 24-per cent bigger display and models are 100-per cent compatible with the N5230C PNA-L. The new PNA-L models use the Agilent PNA-X's components, including the CPU and display.
The new PNA-L models are also well suited for a range of applications, including S-parameters of passive components and simple active device measurements of amplifier and frequency converters. They can also be used in material measurements and for signal-integrity analysis. The Agilent PNA-L is part of the PNA family of network analyzers. The PNA family includes the PNA-L, PNA and PNA-X Series, covering frequencies from 300 kHz to 1.05 THz.
