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. Conversion type operating range Conversion types Frequency range Auto All frequencies Double conversion 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz Single high 3.6 GHz to max frequency Single low 3.6 GHz to max frequency 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. 05 | Keysight | M9393A PXIe Performance Vector Signal Analyzer – Data Sheet Technical Specifications and Characteristics Standard Configuration - Options F08, F14, F18, F27 Block diagram M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference (+13 dBm sine all 100 MHz Outs) M9308A PXIe Synthesizer 100 MHz Out 1 100 MHz PLL 100 MHz Out 2 (1 MHz to 110 MHz) 2.85 GHz to 9 GHz 100 MHz Ref In 10 MHz 10 MHz 100 MHz In 10 MHz Out 100 MHz Out OXCO Out (10 MHz, +10 dBm to 16 dBm, sine) X48 Highband Path (3.1 GHz to 27 GHz) (+13 dBm Typical) M9214A PXIe IF Digitizer 13.5 GHz to 27 GHz IF Conditioning / Filtering Aux 1 Out (9 kHz to 27 GHz) RF Calibrator Lowband Path (< 3.6 GHz) IF Out IF In 3.1 GHz to 13.5 GHz RF In 300 MHz BPF Fc 5.1 GHz ADC & Signal Conditioning RAM 3.8 GHz to 17.4 GHz 100 MHz Out LO Conditioning and Doubler 1st LO In 100 MHz In 2nd LO In Aux 2 Out FPGA Signal Processing ASIC 100 MHz In Aux 2 In 4800 MHz Out 3 dB M9365A PXIe Downconverter Aux 1 In RF Out RF In 100 MHz Out 5 Divide /10 by 10 Filter Bank PLL 100 MHz Out 4 10 MHz OCXO TIMEBASE Divide by 2/4/8/16 Filter Bank 100 MHz Out 3 (+10 dBm typical) Signal Conditioning Clock Generator Clocks Reserved for future functionality RF Input Figure 2.

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.

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. 21 | Keysight | M9393A PXIe Performance Vector Signal Analyzer – Data Sheet Description Specifications Supplemental Information Noise figure uncertainty calculator 60 Instrument noise figure uncertainty See the noise figure table earlier in this chapter Instrument gain uncertainty See the gain table earlier in this chapter Instrument noise figure See graphs of “nominal instrument noise figure”; noise figure is DANL + 176.24 dB (nominal) 61 Instrument input match See graphs: nominal VSWR 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.
