Installation Note
Description of the Upgrade
This upgrade converts your N5221B or N5222B Option 205 2-port analyzer to
a N5221B or N5222B Option 405 4-port analyzer by adding:
— a x4 direct digital synthesizer (DDS) assembly
— an additional source
—anadditionalmixerbrick
— two additional test port couplers
—asplitter
— a modified front panel
—anadditionalcableguard
— two additional LFE bias tee combiners
— PC assembly, low frequency extension (LFE) – 4-port
— new cables
Refer to “Overview of the Installation Procedure” on page 15.
This repair must be done at a service center or a self-maintainer service
center! Refer to “Getting Assistance from Keysight” on page 4.
This upgrade kit is for upgrading 2-port Option 205 models with (x2) direct
digital synthesis (DDS) to a 4-port Option 405 with DDS only.

To successfully install this upgrade kit, you will need the following:
—Alicensekey-referto“License Key Redemption” below.
— A PDF copy or a paper copy of the PNA Service Guide - refer to
“Downloading the Online PNA Service Guide” below.
— An ESD-safe work area - refer to “Protecting Your Workspace from
Electrostatic Discharge” below.
— Correct tools - refer to “Tools Required for the Installation” on page 9.
— Enough time - refer to “About Installing the Upgrade” on page 10.
— Test equipment for the post-upgrade adjustments and full instrument
calibration. To view the equipment list, click the Chapter 3 bookmark “Tests
and Adjustments” in the PDF Service Guide1.
The PNA contains extremely sensitive components that can be ruined if
mishandled. Follow instructions carefully when making cable connections,
especially wire harness connections.
The person performing the work accepts responsibility for the full cost of
the repair or replacement of damaged components.
IMPORTANT!
—This document contains references to legacy and to a new A25
HMA26.5 Multiplier/Amplifier assembly. Your model instrument may
have a legacy HMA26.5 or a new HMA26.5 assembly. Both types of
assemblies are compatible with this upgrade. This note is for your
reference, because some figures contain legacy assemblies that your
instrument may not have installed.
—If you want to verify your instrument’s A25 HMA26.5
Multiplier/Amplifier, refer to “Verify the Model/Version of HMA26.5
Installed” on page 6.

a. The A22 splitter (5087-7139) and N5222-20007, N5222-20008, and N5222-20009 cables are only used with a legacy
HMA26.5 p/n: 5087-7765. If your PNA has a new N5240-60101 assembly installed, then set aside these parts as spares for
use in other PNAs with the older HMA26.5 or discard. If you are unclear which HMA26.5 assembly your PNA has installed, refer
to Figure 1 on page 7.
b. The N5222-20126 cable is used only with instruments that have a newer HMA26.5 installed. If your PNA has a legacy
5087-7765 HMA26.5 assembly installed, then this cable can be discarded. If you are unclear which HMA26.5 assembly your
PNA has installed, refer to Figure 1 on page 7.
Extra quantities of items such as protective plastic caps, screws, cable ties, and
cable clamps may be included in this upgrade kit. It is normal for some of these
items to remain unused after the upgrade is completed.
