The Agilent/Keysight N9029AV02 is a millimeter-wave block down-converter extension module that augments Keysight X-Series signal analyzers with high-frequency measurement capability. This option enables signal acquisition and analysis across millimeter-wave frequency bands beyond the native range of compatible analyzers, supporting advanced applications in wireless communications, radar, satellite, and electronic warfare systems.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: Specific coverage depends on variant; the N9029A series spans from 60 GHz to 220 GHz across configurations.
• Waveguide Input Port: Standard millimeter-wave waveguide flanges (WR12, WR8.0, WR6.5, WR5.1) matched to frequency band.
• Conversion Loss: Approximately 11–12 dB.
• Block Down-Converter Bandwidth: Up to 20 GHz.
• Power Supply: 9 V DC.
– Key Features
• Direct integration with Keysight X-Series signal analyzers via compatible options (e.g., Option EXM).
• Low conversion loss maintains measurement sensitivity across the millimeter-wave spectrum.
• Wideband analysis capability up to 20 GHz enables characterization of complex modulated signals.
• Frequency-specific waveguide input architecture optimizes impedance matching and signal integrity.
– Typical Applications
• Millimeter-wave signal characterization in 5G/6G systems.
• Radar and electronic warfare signal analysis.
• Satellite communication signal measurements.
• Wideband transient and modulation analysis at elevated frequencies.
– Compatibility & Integration
The N9029AV02 interfaces directly with Keysight X-Series signal analyzers including the PXA (N9030A/B), MXA (N9020A/B), EXA (N9010A/B), UXA (N9040B/41B), and MXE (N9038A) when equipped with Option EXM or equivalent. Manufactured by Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI) in partnership with Keysight, the module delivers unified analyzer control and measurement automation through native integration.
