what is a vna and a pna analyzer

Hello nassim1:

Normally , this function is one options in the PNA-X.
You need to buy the below option.

Option 080 Frequency offset

Recommend:
Option 224, 2 ports, add internal 2nd source, combiner and mechanical switches
Option 423, 4 ports, add internal combiner and mechanical switches

Below is the AN about the R&S mixer measurement.

Unfortunately, i do not have that network analyzer, i'm using Agilent PNA-X which has no same options...

Thank you again nuccu,
