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.

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.

Noise Figure Measurement Application Description Specifications Supplemental Information Noise figure Uncertainty calculator 49 < 10 MHz See footnote 50 10 MHz to 6 GHz Internal and external preamplification recommended 51 Noise source ENR Measurement range Instrument uncertainty 52 4 to 6.5 dB 0 to 20 dB ± 0.054 dB 12 to 17 dB 0 to 30 dB ± 0.102 dB 20 to 22 dB 0 to 35 dB ± 0.119 dB 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. 18 | Keysight | M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer - Data Sheet Description Specifications Supplemental Information Gain Instrument uncertainty 53 DUT gain range = -20 to +40 dB. See note 54 < 10 MHz 10 MHz to 6 GHz ± 0.21 dB 53. “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. 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 as computed by the uncertainty calculator.

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.
