This is a complete list of the technical specifications for the N5244A and N5245A with the following
options:
Option 029, adds hardware and firmware for high-accuracy noise figure measurements. It requires one of
Option 224 or 423. See the block diagram.
Option 200, 2-port standard test set (includes six front-panel access loops) and power range. See the block
diagram.
Option 219, adds 2-port extended power range, source and receiver attenuators, and bias-tees (requires
Option 200). See the block diagram.
Option 224, adds an internal second source, a combiner, and mechanical switches to the 2-port analyzer
(requires Option 200, 219, and 080). See the block diagram.
Option 400, 4-port standard test set (includes twelve front-panel access loops), power range, and an internal
second source (Option 080 recommended). See the block diagram.
Option 419, adds 4-port extended power range, source and receiver attenuators, and bias-tees (requires
Option 400). See the block diagram.
Option 423, adds an internal combiner, and mechanical switches to the 4-port analyzer (requires Option 400,
419, and 080). See the block diagram.
Notes
Specifications for the N5244AS and N5245AS Option H85, when configured in standard configuration, are
the same as those of closest N5244A and N5245A option configuration.
The Corrected System Performance with Cal Kits and Dynamic Accuracy Charts apply ONLY to
N5244A/45A models with serial numbers starting with MY5244/45, SG5244/45, and US5244/45, and
above. This document provides technical specifications for the 85056A calibration kit, and the N4693A 2-
Port ECal module. Please download our free Uncertainty Calculator from
http://www.keysight.com/find/na_calculator to generate the curves for your calibration kit and PNA setup.

For all tables in this data sheet, the specified performance at the exact frequency of a break is the degraded
value of the two specifications at that frequency.
