Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Definitions and Requirements Definitions and Requirements This book contains signal analyzer specifications and supplemental information. The distinction among specifications, typical performance, and nominal values are described as follows. Definitions • • • • Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty (temperature = 5 to 50°C, unless otherwise noted).
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Frequency and Time Frequency and Time Description Specifications Supplemental Information Frequency Range Maximum Frequency Option 503 3.6 GHz Option 507 7 GHz Option 513 13.6 GHz Option 526 26.5 GHz Preamp Option P03 3.6 GHz Minimum Frequency Preamp AC Coupled DC Coupled Off 10 MHz 9 kHz On 10 MHz 100 kHz Harmonic Mixing Mode LO Multiple (Nb) Band Band Overlapsa 0 (9 kHz to 3.6 GHz) 1− 1 Options 503,507, 513, 526 1 (3.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Frequency and Time a. In the band overlap regions, for example, 3.5 to 3.6 GHz, the analyzer may use either band for measurements, in this example Band 0 or Band 1. The analyzer gives preference to the band with the better overall specifications (which is the lower numbered band for all frequencies below 26 GHz), but will choose the other band if doing so is necessary to achieve a sweep having minimum band crossings. For example, with CF = 3.

The warranted performance is only the sum of all errors under autocoupled conditions.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Frequency and Time d. In most cases, the frequency readout accuracy of the analyzer can be exceptionally good. As an example, Agilent has characterized the accuracy of a span commonly used for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing using a source frequency locked to the analyzer. Ideally, this sweep would include EMC bands C and D and thus sweep from 30 to 1000 MHz.

Accy. + 0.100 Hz) Delta Count Accuracy ±(delta freq. × freq. Ref. Accy. + 0.141 Hz) Resolution 0.001 Hz a. Instrument conditions: RBW = 1 kHz, gate time = auto (100 ms), S/N ≥ 50 dB, frequency = 1 GHz b. If the signal being measured is locked to the same frequency reference as the analyzer, the specified count accuracy is ±0.

Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Frequency and Time Description Specifications Supplemental Information Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) Range (−3.01 dB bandwidth) 1 Hz to 8 MHz Bandwidths above 3 MHz are 4, 5, 6, and 8 MHz. Bandwidths 1 Hz to 3 MHz are spaced at 10% spacing using the E24 series (24 per decade): 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 3.9, 4.3, 4.7, 5.1, 5.6, 6.2, 6.8, 7.5, 8.2, 9.1 in each decade.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Frequency and Time b. Resolution Bandwidth Accuracy can be observed at slower sweep times than auto-coupled conditions. Normal sweep rates cause the shape of the RBW filter displayed on the analyzer screen to widen by nominally 6%. This widening declines to 0.6% nominal when the Swp Time Rules key is set to Accuracy instead of Normal. The true bandwidth, which determines the response to impulsive signals and noise-like signals, is not affected by the sweep rate.

Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Amplitude Accuracy and Range b. Absolute Amplitude Accuracy for a wide range of signal and measurement settings, covers the 95th percentile proportion with 95% confidence. Here are the details of what is covered and how the computation is made: The wide range of conditions of RBW, signal level, VBW, reference level and display scale are discussed in footnote a. There are 44 quasi-random combinations used, tested at a 50 MHz signal frequency.

Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Amplitude Accuracy and Range Description Specifications Supplemental Information Display Scale Switching Uncertainty Switching between Linear and Log 0 dBa Log Scale Switching 0 dBa a. Because Log/Lin and Log Scale Switching affect only the display, not the measurement, they cause no additional error in measurement results from trace data or markers.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Amplitude Accuracy and Range a. Supplemental information: The amplitude detection linearity specification applies at all levels below −10 dBm at the input mixer; however, noise will reduce the accuracy of low level measurements. The amplitude error due to noise is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N. If the S/N is large (20 dB or better), the amplitude error due to noise can be estimated from the equation below, given for the 3-sigma (three standard deviations) level.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Amplitude Accuracy and Range g. Slope error will nominally be well within the range of ±0.0009 × (P1 − P2). P1 and P2 are defined in footnote f. h. A small additional error is possible. In FFT sweeps, this error is possible for spans under 4.01 kHz. For non-FFT measurements, it is possible for RBWs of 3.9 kHz or less. The error is well within the range of ±0.0021 × (P1 - P2) subject to a maximum of ±0.005 dB. (The maximum dominates for all but very small differences.

Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Dynamic Range c. Reference level and off-screen performance: The reference level (RL) behavior differs from some earlier analyzers in a way that makes this analyzer more flexible. In other analyzers, the RL controlled how the measurement was performed as well as how it was displayed. Because the logarithmic amplifier in these analyzers had both range and resolution limitations, this behavior was necessary for optimum measurement accuracy.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Dynamic Range Displayed Average Noise Level Description Specifications Supplemental Information Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL)a Input terminated Sample or Average detector Averaging type = Log 0 dB input attenuation IF Gain = High Refer to the footnote for Band Overlaps on page 15. 1 Hz Resolution Bandwidth 20 to 30°C 5 to 50°C Typical 1 to 10 MHzb −147 dBm −145 dBm −149 dBm 10 MHz to 2.1 GHz −148 dBm −146 dBm −150 dBm 2.1 GHz to 3.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Dynamic Range c. Setting the IF Gain to Low is often desirable in order to allow higher power into the mixer without overload, better compression and better third-order intermodulation. When the Swept IF Gain is set to Low, either by auto coupling or manual coupling, there is noise added above that specified in this table for the IF Gain = High case. That excess noise appears as an additional noise at the input mixer. This level has sub-decibel dependence on center frequency.

The effect of scale fidelity on the ratio of two powers is called the relative scale fidelity.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Power Suite Measurements i. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) or user equipment (UE) within 3 dB of the required −33 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is −22 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the average input power − (−19 dBm). For example, if the average input power is −6 dBm, set the attenuation to 16 dB. This specification applies for the normal 3.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Power Suite Measurements n. 3GPP requires the use of a root-raised-cosine filter in evaluating the ACLR of a device. The accuracy of the passband shape of the filter is not specified in standards, nor is any method of evaluating that accuracy. This footnote discusses the performance of the filter in this instrument. The effect of the RRC filter and the effect of the RBW used in the measurement interact.

The RBW method measures the power in the adjacent channels within the defined resolution bandwidth. The noise bandwidth of the RBW filter is nominally 1.055 times the 3.01 dB bandwidth. Therefore, the RBW method will nominally read 0.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Power Suite Measurements c. As in footnote b, the specified ACPR accuracy applies if the ACPR measured substantially exceeds the analyzer dynamic range at the specified offset. When this condition is not met, there are additional errors due to the addition of analyzer spectral components to UUT spectral components. Unlike the situation in footnote b, though, the spectral components from the analyzer will be non-coherent with the components from the UUT.
Agilent EXA Signal Analyzer Power Suite Measurements Description Specifications Supplemental Information Power Statistics CCDF Histogram Resolutiona 0.01 dB a. The Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) is a reformatting of a histogram of the power envelope. The width of the amplitude bins used by the histogram is the histogram resolution. The resolution of the CCDF will be the same as the width of those bins.
