Technical Specifications and
Characteristics
Definitions for specifications
Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as
follows:
–– Full temperature range = Individual module temperature
of 15 to 75 °C, as reported by the module, and
environment temperature of 0 to 55 °C.
–– Controlled temperature range = Individual module
temperature of 36 to 50 °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
–– 30 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.
–– 95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the
population (approx. 2 s of performance tolerances
expected to be met in 95 percent of the cases with a
95 percent confidence, for any ambient temperature in
the range of 20 to 30 °C. In addition to the statistical
observations of a sample of instruments, these values
include the effects of the uncertainties of external
calibration references. These values are not warranted.
These values are updated occasionally if a significant
change in the statistically observed behavior of
production instruments is observed.
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.

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.
–– The PeakToAverage property is used with expected
RF Power property to optimize level settings in the
Downconverter. Set this to the ratio, in dB, of the peak
power to the average power. The Downconverter uses
this value to optimize mixer level, IF gain, and ADC
clip level.
–– IF Level Offset (dB) provides additional adjustment of
IF power level. Positive values reduce noise. Negative
values reduce distortion.
–– Digitizer Level Offset (dB) provides additional adjustment
of Downconverter IF power to the digitizer. Positive values
increase power to the digitizer. Negative values decrease
power to the digitizer.
–– All graphs contain measured data from one unit and
are representative of product performance within the
controlled temperature range unless otherwise noted.
–– Default conditions apply, unless otherwise noted.
–– The specifications contained in this document are
subject to change.

To maximize the M9300A’s 100 MHz outputs, especially for multi-channel configurations, an SMB T-type adapter
(not shown) can be used to split the signal between the M9214A 100 MHz In and the M9308A 100 MHz In. For more

54. 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.
55. 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.
56. 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.
57. “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.

58. “Instrument Uncertainty” is defined for gain measurements as uncertainty due to relative amplitude uncertainties encountered in the analyzer
when making the measurements required for the gain computation. 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 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.
59. 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.

60. The Noise Figure Uncertainty Calculator requires the parameters shown in order to calculate the total uncertainty of a Noise Figure measurement.
61. 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.

Instrument connection software
Keysight IO
library
The IO library suite offers a single entry point for connection to
the most common instruments including AXIe, PXI, GPIB, USB,
Ethernet/LAN, RS-232, and VXI test instruments from Keysight
and other vendors. It automatically discovers interfaces, chassis,
and instruments. The graphical user interface allows you to search
for, verify, and update IVI instrument and soft front panel drivers for
modular and traditional instruments. The IO suite safely installs in
side-by-side mode with NI I/O software.
Free software download at
www.keysight.com/find/iosuite
The PXI module includes a soft front panel (SFP), a software-based
graphical user interface (GUI) which enables the instrument’s
capabilities from your PC.
