The millimeter-wave modules are designed for use with the N5260/61/62A Millimeter-wave Module Controllers for banded vector network analyzer systems. Refer to the N5250C or N5261/62A Users Guides (N5260-90001 or N5262-90001) for system connections, operation and functional check.
The N5256A/B “T/R” Millimeter-wave Module contains an RF source multiplier, dual directional coupler, reference downconverter and a test downconverter. The T/R Millimeter-wave Module is usually the primary module of a millimeter-wave VNA system. A single T/R module allows the measurement of S11 reflection coefficient only.
The single and dual channel receiver modules are used for antenna applications or for 1-port single path S-parameter measurements.
VNA modules enable engineers to conduct mm-wave S-parameters. The DUT interface is the standard waveguide flange that complies with MIL-DTL-3922/67D. Organized by waveguide bands, VNA modules are available from 50 GHz to 0.5 THz.
The N5256AW10 will expand your existing VNA capabilities so you can conduct millimeter wave S-parameter measurements from 75 - 110 GHz.
Modules are available in a variety of S-parameter configurations: T/R, T and/or S. They also offer various options including variable attenuation, low power, intermodulation distortion measurements (IMD) and extended frequency bands.
Key Features |
The millimeter-wave modules have a power connector feature that is designed to operate with the N5260/61/62A Millimeter-wave Module controllers. A separate external power supply from OML (VDCPW12-5, 12 VDC, with a 7-pin output circular jack) is included for a direct connection configuration. |
The RF, LO and IF connectors are 3.5 mm female SMA type |
RF and DC power cables are included with millimeter-wave controllers, or may be purchased separately. A separate power supply is recommended if the millimeterwave modules are placed greater than 30 feet from the controller. |
The waveguide connectors uses a 4-40 thread screw. OML supplies a 3/32 inch captive screw and VDI supplies a 5/64 inch captive screw. |
The millimeter-wave modules have adjustable feet for leveling height when connecting to other equipment. |
For indoor use only. |
