The Keysight (Agilent) N5247A is the 67 GHz model of the PNA‑X vector network analyzer family, integrating dual internal sources, a built‑in combiner, and internal signal‑routing switches. It provides single‑connection linear and nonlinear measurements—including S‑parameters (CW and pulsed), noise figure, gain compression, IMD, harmonics, and converter tests—and supports expansion to a 2‑ or 4‑port single‑sweep mm‑wave solution to 110 GHz with power leveling and true‑differential capability.
