FDCS

Symptoms / Solutions:

In NVNA, when measuring wave measurement (not X-parameters), the setting is as following:

– Signal Generator: AgilentNVNA

– Time Domain Analyzer: PNAxNVNA_NoDeembed

The configuration string of Time Domain Analyzer can be the path of the shared directory on the PNA-X (i.e. \\10.0.0.23\NVNAShared)

The setup is as shown in Figure 1.

In NVNA, when measuring X-parameters, the setting is as following:

– Signal Generator: None (NVNA controls the source internally)

– Time Domain Analyzer: PNAxNVNAxParameter_NoDeembed

The configuration string of Time Domain Analyzer can be the path of the shared directory on the PNA-X (i.e. \\10.0.0.23\NVNAShared)

The setup is as shown in Figure 2.
