- Product Description
- Selection
-
- Brand: 是德科技
- Commodity name: N5230C PNA-L Network Analyzer, 2-port, up to 6, 13.5, 20, 40, or 50 GHz
- Brand: Keysight Technologies
- Standard : 10MHz to 13.5GHz (2 ports), supporting mainstream frequency bands such as 5G Sub-6GHz (3.5GHz/4.9GHz) and Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz).
- Expansion Options ：
- Option 220/225 : Expands the frequency range to 10MHz to 20GHz, covering the full 5G NR FR1 band (410MHz~26.5GHz) and some low-frequency millimeter-wave bands (24.25-26.5GHz).
- Option 420/425 : Supports 10MHz to 40GHz, covering the complete 5G millimeter-wave FR2 band (24.25-40GHz).
- Option 520/525 : Expands to a maximum of 10MHz to 50GHz, suitable for high-frequency millimeter-wave scenarios (such as satellite communication and 6G pre-research).
- Key Clarifications ：
- No Option 026 : The previously mistakenly written "Option 026" is a millimeter-wave option for other models (such as N5240A) and is unrelated to N5230A.
- Waveguide Module Adaptability : If a waveguide interface (such as WR-75 corresponding to 10-15GHz) is required, an external 11970V series frequency extension module (not an option, but an external accessory) is needed. In this case, the frequency range is limited by the module (for example, 11970V-135 supports 10-18GHz).
- N5230A can cover 24.25-40GHz (5G NR FR2 band) through option 420/425, but does not support the 76-81GHz automotive radar band (requires upgrading to N5240A or a higher model).

III. Precise Adaptation to Typical Application Scenarios (Correction of Previous Errors)
- Original Incorrect Description :"Measuring 76~81GHz automotive radar front-end components".
- Correct Application : N5230A can cover 24.25-40GHz , suitable for 5G millimeter-wave base station RF module testing (such as 28GHz PA linearity analysis), while 76-81GHz requires using N5240A (26.5-40GHz) or N5242A (10MHz-43.5GHz).
- N5230A option 420/425 supports 24.25-40GHz (5G NR FR2 band), and can be used for 28GHz filter out-of-band suppression testing (such as out-of-band -50dBc@30GHz), but does not support frequencies above 39GHz/40GHz (requires N5240A or higher models).
IV. Strict Explanation of Option Configuration and Calibration Item Matching
- 10MHz~13.5GHz : Use 125A series N-type precision calibration items (50Ω, such as 125A-135, covering 10MHz-18GHz).
- 10MHz~20GHz (Option 220/225) : Requires using 3.5mm precision calibration items (such as 125B-265, covering 10MHz-26.5GHz).
- 10MHz~40GHz (Option 420/425) : Requires using 2.4mm precision calibration items (such as 125C-405, covering 10MHz-40GHz).
- When testing above 20GHz, use Low-loss phase-stable cable (such as Keysight Technologies 85133D series), avoiding the high-frequency loss of ordinary N-type cables (ordinary N-type cables have a loss increase of > 0.5dB/m above 20GHz).
