Vector network analyzer (VNA) overview  
Vector network analyzer (VNA) measurement systems are used to fully  
characterize the linear behavior of two port devices or networks. Device  
characteristics include the magnitude and phase data of the transmission or  
reflection parameters that are required to determine complex impedance, both  
resistive and reactive components, shown in Figure 1. A network’s behavior is  
linear when (1) a linear change in the input results in a linear change in the  
output, and (2) the output, resulting from multiple input signals, is the same  
as the sum of the outputs resulting from independent input signals. Some  
examples of linear networks are filters, amplifiers, cables and isolators.  
A network analyzer measurement system can be divided into four major parts  
shown in Figure 2:  
1. A signal source providing the incident signal  
2. Signal separation devices to separate the incident, reflected and trans-  
mitted signals, and then down converts the microwave signals to a lower  
intermediate (IF) signal  
3. A receiver to attain the IF signal and down convert it to DC  
4. A signal processor and display section that processes the data and displays  
information on a CRT

The Agilent Technologies 8510 network analyzer consists of a family of  
compatible products where each part is a separate system component. Each  
complete system includes the 8510 network analyzer, a test set, and compatible  
sources (measurement accessories are also needed to complete the measure-  
ment setup), shown in Figure 3. The frequency range of the measurement sys-  
tem is determined by the test set or the compatible source’s lesser frequency.  
Example: if a 50 GHz test set is used with a 20 GHz source, the maximum  
frequency measured is 20 GHz.

Test Sets  
Table 3. Family of test sets  
The test set in a VNA measurement  
system is used to separate the inci-  
dent, the reflected, and the transmitted  
signals. It is also used to convert  
the RF signal to IF (intermediate  
fre- quency) signal and to pass the IF  
to the receiver.

Once signals are separated, their  
individual magnitude and phase  
differences can be measured. Test  
sets are classified into two groups: (1)  
one-path transmission or reflection  
and (2) two-path S-parameter allow-  
ing forward and reverse measure-  
ments of a two port device with a  
single connection. S-parameter test  
sets can be divided into two types: (1)  
sampler- based and (2) mixer-based,  
shown in Table 3. Sampler-based test  
sets require one external source to  
provide the RF stimulus. The mixer-  
based test sets require two external  
sources; one to provide the RF stimu-  
lus and the other to provide the LO  
signal.

1. Although general purpose 8360 series synthesized sweepers (836x0B) can be used in place of the 8510-dedicated  
8360 series synthesized sweepers (836x1B), the following options are typically recommended: Option 004 (rear  
panel connectors) and Option 008 (1-Hz frequency resolution). These options are standard in the 8510-dedicated  
8360 series synthesized sweepers.  
Mixed sources: While mixing synthesized series is acceptable in multiple-source applications, the following areas  
must be considered:  
• RF source = 8340, LO source = 8340, system performance will be degraded substantially.  
• RF source = 8340, LO source = 8360, better system performance  
• RF source = 8360, LO source = 8360, faster step frequency measurements. Using the 8340 as either the RF  
source or the LO source will more than double the measurement time.  
2. All coaxial test port connectors are ruggedized connectors.  
3. These test sets provide access to four samplers directly.  
4. The following test set modules are available. Two test set modules must be ordered for complete waveguide  
S-parameter test set operation for each waveguide band:  
• Q85104A test set module (33 GHz to 50 GHz)  
• U85104A test set module (40 GHz to 60 GHz)  
• V85104A test set module (50 GHz to 75 GHz)  
• W85104A test set module (75 GHz to 110 GHz)

Sources  
The RF or microwave signal source in a VNA measurement system provides  
the incident signal used to stimulate the device-under-test (DUT). The DUT  
responds by reflecting part of the incident and transmitting the remaining  
part. By sweeping the frequency of the source, the frequency response of the  
DUT can be determined.  
There are two types of sources available; the General Purpose (GP) 8360 series  
synthesized sweepers (836x0B) and the 8510-dedicated 8360 series synthesized  
sweepers (836x1B). Note: All 8360A synthesizers have been replaced by 8360B  
synthesizers.  
Dedicated sources, such as the 836x1B shown in Table 4, are optimized  
for use in the 8510 network analyzer systems. They are configured without  
modulation capabilities or front panel keyboards. These sources include a  
1 Hz frequency resolution and rear-panel output connectors.

sweeper, shown in Table 5. Order Option 004 to obtain rear panel connectors,  
and Option 008 for 1 Hz frequency resolution.

Upgrade considerations  
There are numerous reasons for upgrading the Agilent 8510 system. The 8510  
network analyzer maintains excellent performance while adapting to different  
measurement requirements such as basic component testing, on-wafer probing,  
pulsed device characterization, antenna and RCS (Radar Cross Section) meas-  
urements. Depending on the application, the 8510 network analyzer system  
can be reconfigured to meet other system measurement needs.

Test set upgrades  
A single 8510 network analyzer can be configured to control up to four test  
sets. The operator can switch between test sets, without reconnections, using  
front panel controls. This arrangement is often referred to as the multiple  
test set configuration. Each test set must be equipped with Option 001 for IF  
switching. Other requirements may apply for RF/LO switching.  
For more details, please refer to product note 8510-14, Using Multiple Test  
Sets with the Agilent 8510C (literature number 5967-5886E).  
Agilent 8511A K01 or 08511-60008 Retrofits IF switching (Option 001) to any 8510  
test set for multiple test set operations.  
Expanding measurement capabilities  
Adding pulse capabilities (Option 008)  
To perform pulse measurements, the 8510 network analyzer must be retrofitted  
with Option 008. The measurement system must include either the 85110L  
(0.045 to 2 GHz) or 85110A (2 to 20 GHz) pulsed-RF S-parameter test set and  
two synthesizers (high power synthesizers may apply).  
• The 85110L requires an 83620B synthesizer with  
Options 001/004/008/H80 (for RF) and an 83620B with  
Options 004/008/H80 (for LO)  
• The 85110A requires an 83622B synthesizer with  
Options 001/004/008 (for RF) and an 83623L with  
Options 004/008 (for LO)  
Agilent 85111B Adds pulsed-RF measurement capability (Option 008) to the 8510C  
by adding new circuitry and includes on-site installation by an Customer  
Engineer (where available). To perform pulsed-RF measurements, the 8510  
with Option 008 must be used with either the 85110L or 85110A Pulsed-RF  
S-parameter test set. Other requirements may apply.  
Adding time domain capabilities  
With the time domain option, data from transmission or reflection measure-  
ments are converted from the frequency domain to the time domain via the  
inverse Fourier transform. The time domain data are presented on the CRT  
display showing the measured parameter value versus time.  
Agilent 85012C Adds time domain (Option 010) to an 8510C (customer installed).

To upgrade from one system to another, simply order the pieces that are needed  
in the new system that are currently not in the existing system, an example  
is shown in Figure 9. Complete waveguide S-parameter systems require two  
1
test set modules for each band. Necessary accessories such as calibration kits,  
2
verification kits, test port cables or adapters must be ordered. See pages 17  
through 19 for more information.  
1. The following test set modules are available. Two test set modules must be ordered for complete waveguide  
S-parameter test set operation for each waveguide band:  
• Q85104A test set module (33 GHz to 50 GHz)  
• U85104A test set module (40 GHz to 60 GHz)  
• V85104A test set module (50 GHz to 75 GHz)  
• W85104A test set module (75 GHz to 110 GHz)  
2. Please refer to the RF & Microwave Test Accessories Catalog (literature number 5964-9527E) on detailed  
information on available adapters.

Here is a checklist of items to consider when upgrading systems:  
1. Which 8510 do I have? The 8510C is recommended for the latest available  
measurement capabilities.  
• To upgrade an 8510A to an 8510C, order 85103E.  
• To upgrade an 8510B to an 8510C, order 85103F.  
• Make sure the appropriate options are ordered. For instance, order  
Option 010 if the 8510 has previously installed time domain.  
• Do I need pulse capabilities? If yes, order 85111B for 8510C.  
2. What test set do I need?  
• Refer to Table 3 for test set selection. Frequency range and application  
type are critical when selecting the appropriate test set.  
3. What source do I need?  
• Refer to Table 3 for the source(s) that’s required for the test set of choice.  
4. What measurement accessories do I need?  
• The appropriate measurement accessories will be determined mainly  
by the connector type of the device-under-test (DUT). These accessories  
include calibration (mechanical or electronic), verification kits, test port  
cables and/or adapters as appropriate. Refer to pages 17 through 19 for  
available products.

Measurement accessories  
There are measurement accessories for seven device connector types: 7 mm,  
3.5 mm, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, 1 mm and Type-N. Calibration kits include  
standards that are required for vector error correction. Verification kits  
include standards used to verify system performance specifications. Test port  
return cables extend the ports of the test set and connect to the device under  
test. Agilent 85130X adapter sets convert test set ports to the same connector  
type (acting as a test port saver) or to a different connector type.  
1. Standard 85105A already includes IF switching (Option 001)  
2. Option 050 provides a 50 GHz RF source switch. This is necessary in order to operate with the  
existing 83651B 50 GHz source and 8517B 50 GHz test set.  
3. To operate in W-band, replace all V-band components with W-band.

Calibration kits  
Error correction requires that the systematic errors in the measurement  
system be characterized by measuring known devices (standards) over the  
frequency range of interest with the process of calibration. All calibration kits  
contain standards used for this purpose. The standards in the 3.5 mm, 2.4 mm  
and Type-N calibration kits use the precision slotless connector (PSC-3.5,  
PSC-2.4 and PSC-N). Unless otherwise noted all coaxial calibration kits include  
connector gauges and a torque wrench.

Test port cables and adapters  
Test port cables and adapter sets are available for various connector types.  
Special test port adapter sets convert the rugged ports of the network analyzer  
test set to the desired connector interface. Each kit contains two adapters, one  
male and one female. Both the cables and the test port adapters have one spe-  
cial female connector which is designed to connect directly to the 3.5 mm test  
port (2.4 mm for 8517B). This side of the cable or adapter can only be connected  
to the test set port and cannot be mated to a standard 3.5 mm (or 2.4 mm)  
male connector. Choose one of the configurations shown.  
Configuration A. This cable arrangement is for applications where the device  
under test is connected directly to the test set port. This setup offers the best  
mechanical rigidity for device connection. To adapt the test set port (port 1) to  
the device under test, choose the appropriate special adapter set. In addition  
to converting the test port to the desired interface, these adapters also func-  
tion as “test port savers” which protect the test set from damage and wear due  
to heavy use.
