Product description
The M9391A PXI VSA is a modular vector signal analyzer for
frequencies from 1 MHz to 6 GHz and up to 160 MHz analysis
bandwidth. The M9391A is comprised of four individual
PXI modules - M9350A downconverter, M9214A digitizer,
M9301A synthesizer and M9300A frequency reference. A
single M9300A frequency reference can be shared between
multiple instruments to minimize footprint.
The flexible, modular design of the M9391A enables you
to efficiently scale to multi-channel signal analysis to test
multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) devices. Capability
can also be scaled with options for memory, frequency range
and modulation bandwidth which can be easily upgraded in
the field.
Applications
–– Power amplifier and front-end-module design validation
and manufacturing
–– Radio transceiver design validation and production test
–– MIMO and multi-channel device test

Technical Specifications and Characteristics
Definitions for specifications
Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows:
–– Full temperature range = Individual module temperature of 25
to 75 °C, as reported by the module, and environment
temperature of 0 to 55 °C.
–– Controlled temperature range = Individual module temperature of 40 to 51 °C, as reported by the module, and environment temperature of 20 to 30 °C.
Specifications describe the warranted performance of calibrated
instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications
under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.
–– Calibrated instruments have been stored for a minimum of 2
hours within the full temperature range
–– 45 minute warm-up time
–– Calibration cycle maintained
–– When used with Keysight M9300A frequency reference and
Keysight interconnect cables
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in
the application of the product, but that is not covered by the
product warranty. Characteristics are often referred to as
Typical or Nominal values and are italicized.
–– Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of
instruments will meet when operated
within the controlled temperature range.
–– Nominal describes representative performance that is useful
in the application of the product when
operated within the controlled temperature range.
Recommended best practices in use
–– Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots
to ensure proper operating temperatures. Keysight chassis
and slot blockers optimize module temperature performance
and reliability of test.
–– Set chassis fan to high at environmental temperatures above
45 °C
–– Maintain temperature stability for best multi-channel phase
coherence
–– Set chassis fans to maximum
–– Maintain stable ambient temperature
–– Perform warm-up with session open and representative
acquisition waveform running

Additional information
–– Mixer level offset modifies the receiver gain prior to the first
mixer of the receiver. A negative setting improves distortion
(i.e., TOI) at the cost of noise performance (i.e., DANL). A
positive setting improves noise performance at the cost of
distortion.
–– Performance described in this document applies for module
temperature within ± 3 degrees of comprehensive alignment,
unless otherwise noted.
–– When used with a Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis, comprehensive alignment requires chassis FPGA version 1.05 or
greater.
–– When configured for multi-channel, phase-coherent
operation (shared synthesizer configuration), instrument level
warranted specifications only apply to the M9391A which
was previously calibrated with the M9301A synthesizer,
showing a valid calibration indicator. For all other M9391A
channels, specifications revert to typical performance. If
using an external LO distribution unit, such as the V2802A LO
distribution network, specifications for all M9391A channels
revert to typical performance.
–– All graphs contain measured data from one unit and is
representative of product performance within the controlled
temperature range unless otherwise noted.
–– The specifications contained in this document are subject to
change.

7. At expected input level ≤ −37 dBm, pre-amp is switched on.
8. Total absolute amplitude accuracy is the total of all amplitude measurement errors. This specification includes the sum of the following individual specifications: linearity, expected input level switching uncertainty, IF bandwidth filter switching uncertainty, absolute amplitude accuracy. The wide range of settings
used (i.e., expected input level, etc.) are tested independently. The individual error contributions are calculated as follows: a 99.8 % proportion and 95%
confidence are computed for each parameter on a statistically significant number of instruments. The root-sum-square (RSS) of these four independent
Gaussian parameters is then taken. To that RSS value, two environmental effects and measurement uncertainty are added. One environmental effect is that
of temperature (full and controlled temperature range, as defined above) and the other is the temperature variation of ±3 degrees around a field alignment.
Applies over the following subset of settings and conditions: expected input level −50 dBm to +30 dBm; input signals within 60 dB below expected input level;
40 MHz and 160 MHz IF filters; input signal at center frequency over full frequency range.
9. The absolute amplitude accuracy is the amplitude measurement error when only changing frequency. The expected input level, conversion type and IF bandwidth settings remain the same and the error introduced by those parameters are not included. Pre-amp auto/OFF expected input
level +10 dBm and −12 dBm. Pre-amp ON expected input level −30 dBm.
10. Typical specifications shown at M9350A downconverter reported module temperature of 46 ºC and a corresponding environment temperature
of 25 ºC.
11. When using pre-amp auto mode, applies for signal level within expected input level >−37 dBm.
12. When using pre-amp auto mode, applies for signal level within expected input level ≤−37 dBm.

38. The default mode for allocation of capture memory is AgM9391MemoryModeNormal, where the digitizer’s memory is shared by both the default
single acquisition (capture ID = 0) and all the other acquisitions with non-zero capture IDs. In particular, the memory for the default single acquisition is allocated from the area unused by the list acquisitions. If the available memory is not sufficient for the single acquisition, the user must release memory allocated for the non-zero capture ID acquisitions manually, thus increasing free space. Total memory usage is limited
according to the memory option. Note that the maximum size of acquisition is 2 GB in this mode. To perform the default single acquisition with
memory size larger than 2 GB, AgM9391MemoryModeLargeAcquisition must be selected. The non-zero capture ID acquisitions cannot be per
formed in this mode. All data acquired with AGM9391MemoryMode Normal will be invalidated.
39. The maximum size for a single list point capture is limited to 512 MSamples (2 GB). However, with option M10, total capture of up to 3.999 GB
is available across all list mode captures.
40. 64-bit mode, 2 samples for 32-bit mode.
41. Negative trigger delay limited to capture size.
42. Multi-channel capability only supported with up to 8-channels when configured with a Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis with FPGA version 1.05 or greater.

distribution network used for phase synchronization for more than 4 channels.
43. Jitter indicates measurement-to-measurement variation and applies over short time interval at room temperature without resetting or reinitializing a driver
session.
44. Repeatability indicates stability of alignment between channels across power cycles and IVI sessions, with identical cabling and hardware settings
(frequency, span, sample rate, etc.)
45. Channel time and phase offsets can be adjusted using OffsetDelay and OffsetPhase properties respectively.

49. The figures given in the table are for the uncertainty added by the X-Series Signal Analyzer instrument only. To compute the total uncertainty for your noise
figure measurement, you need to take into account other factors including: DUT NF, Gain and Match, Instrument NF, Gain Uncertainty and Match; Noise
source ENR uncertainty and Match. The computations can be performed with the uncertainty calculator included with the Noise Figure Measurement
Personality. Go to Mode Setup then select Uncertainty Calculator. Similar calculators are also available on the Keysight web site; go to http://www.
keysight.com/find/nfu.
50. Uncertainty performance of the instrument is nominally the same in this frequency range as in the higher frequency range. However, performance is not
warranted in this range. There is a paucity of available noise sources in this range, and the analyzer has poorer noise figure, leading to higher uncertainties
as computed by the uncertainty calculator.
51. The NF uncertainty calculator can be used to compute the uncertainty. For most DUTs of normal gain, the uncertainty will be quite high without
preamplification.
52. “Instrument Uncertainty” is defined for noise figure analysis as uncertainty due to relative amplitude uncertainties encountered in the analyzer when making
the measurements required for a noise figure computation. The relative amplitude uncertainty depends on, but is not identical to, the relative display scale
fidelity, also known as incremental log fidelity. The uncertainty of the analyzer is multiplied within the computation by an amount that depends on the Y
factor to give the total uncertainty of the noise figure or gain measurement. See Keysight App Note 57-2, literature number 5952-3706E for details on the
use of this specification. Jitter (amplitude variations) will also affect the accuracy of results. The standard deviation of the measured result decreases by a
factor of the square root of the Resolution Bandwidth used and by the square root of the number of averages. This application uses the 4 MHz Resolution
Bandwidth as default because this is the widest bandwidth with uncompromised accuracy.

Jitter (amplitude variations) will also affect the accuracy of results. The standard deviation of the measured result decreases by a factor of the square root
of the Resolution Bandwidth used and by the square root of the number of averages. This application uses the 4 MHz Resolution Bandwidth as default since
this is the widest bandwidth with uncompromised accuracy. Under difficult conditions (low Y factors), the instrument uncertainty for gain in high band can
dominate the NF uncertainty as well as causing errors in the measurement of gain. These effects can be predicted with the uncertainty calculator.
54. Uncertainty performance of the instrument is nominally the same in this frequency range as in the higher frequency range. However, performance is not
warranted in this range. There is a paucity of available noise sources in this range, and the analyzer has poorer noise figure, leading to higher uncertainties

55. The Noise Figure Uncertainty Calculator requires the parameters shown in order to calculate the total uncertainty of a Noise Figure measurement.
56. Nominally, the noise figure of the spectrum analyzer is given by NF = D — (K — L + N + B) where D is the DANL (displayed average noise level) specification,
K is kTB (-173.98 dBm in a 1 Hz bandwidth at 290 K) L is 2.51 dB (the effect of log averaging used in DANL verifications) N is 0.24 dB (the ratio of the noise
bandwidth of the RBW filter with which DANL is specified to an ideal noise bandwidth) B is ten times the base-10 logarithm of the RBW (in hertz) in which
the DANL is specified. B is 0 dB for the 1 Hz RBW. The actual NF will vary from the nominal due to frequency response errors.
