Network Analysis
The edge speed and pure spectral content produced by the N2806A makes it ideal for applications
in high frequency network analysis. Achieving a sub-7 ps falling edge (90%-10%) allows for
characterization of components well beyond 60 GHz of bandwidth. These characteristics make the
N2806A a critical component in Keysight’s high bandwidth N2807A PrecisionProbe Advanced Kit
for Infiniium oscilloscopes. Further, the differential output of the N2806A enables extremely high
frequency differential TDR and TDT measurements.
Quickly and easily remove the effects of cables and fixtures
to 63 GHz of oscilloscope bandwidth.
The N2806A is included with Keysight’s award winning
PrecisionProbe software for Infiniium oscilloscopes in
the N2807A PrecisionProbe Advanced Kit. You no longer
need to ignore the loss of cables due to time and budget
constraints. Using the patented PrecisionProbe Advanced
technology, you can characterize cables as fast as
63 GHz and remove the loss they create in oscilloscope
measurements. PrecisionProbe Advanced uses the fast
edge from the N2806A to perform a TDT on your cable.
Based on the loss of your cable, the software compensates
for that loss, gaining back valuable margin.
Make high bandwidth TDR and TDT measurements.
Often the efficacy of high frequency TDR measurements
is limited by the edge speed the source is capable of
generating. Slower edge speeds just do not offer the high
frequency content necessary to make TDR measurements
or measure s-parameters out past 60 GHz. Integrate the
N2806A into your TDR setup, and start making accurate
high frequency measurements.
Shown on the right is a TDR measurement using
the N2806A with a Keysight DCA 86100C sampling
oscilloscope equipped with a TDR module. Previously
edge speed limited, the rise times on this measurement
are now sub-10 ps and multiple reflection events are
accurately observed.
