As an example, if you have a frequency sweep from 3 to 6.5 GHz, the analyzer will achieve the power level of -1 dBm across the band. Low power level for N991xA and N992xA analyzers is a flat -45 dBm across the whole frequency band, and is the output of the analyzer when the Power Setting is set to Low. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ High power in the N995xA refers to the target output power level of the analyzer when the Power Setting is set to High. As an example, if you have a frequency sweep from 39 to 46 GHz, the analyzer will achieve the power level to -2 dBm across the band. Low power level for N995xA analyzers is the lowest power level that can be set and is the output of the analyzer when the Power Setting is set to Low. Max leveled power in the N995xA refers to the maximum leveled (flattened) power that can be achieved across the designated frequency range. For example, if you have a frequency sweep from 32 to 44 GHz, and set up the analyzer to measure all four S-parameters, needing both ports 1 and 2, the maximum power the analyzer can be set to is -6 dBm.

Many capabilities listed in this Data Sheet require options. TDR Cable Measurements The TDR cable option adds time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements to FieldFox’s CAT mode. FieldFox’s TDR measurements are based on an inverse Fourier transform of the frequency-domain data. TDR measurements are useful in not only identifying the location of faults along cables, but also the nature of the fault. Resistive, inductive and capacitive faults will each have a different response. These differences help engineers and technicians trouble-shoot line faults. Measurements: TDR (linear rho) and TDR impedance (ohm) Y-axis: linear (rho) or impedance (ohm) X-axis: distance (meters or feet) VNA Time Domain In time-domain mode, FieldFox computes the inverse Fourier transform of the frequency-domain data to display reflection or transmission coefficients versus time. Setup parameters Time Start, stop, center, span Gating Start, stop, center, span, and on/off Numbers of points, velocity vector, line loss, window shape, independent control for all four traces Time stimulus modes Low-pass step Low-pass step is similar to a traditional time domain reflectometer (TDR) stimulus waveform. It is used to measure low-pass devices. The frequency-domain data should extend from DC (extrapolated value) to a higher value. Low-pass impulse Low-pass impulse response is used to measure low-pass devices. Bandpass impulse The bandpass impulse simulates a pulsed RF signal and is used to measure the time domain response of band-limited devices. Windows The windowing function can be used to filter the frequency domain data and thereby reduce overshoot and ringing in the time domain response. Windows Minimum, medium and maximum, manual entry of Kaiser Beta and impulse width. Gating The gating function can be used to selectively remove reflection or transmission time domain responses. In converting back to the frequency domain the effects of the responses outside the gate are removed. The results can be viewed with gating on and off, using two traces. Gate types Notch, bandpass Gate shapes Maximum, wide, normal, minimum 19 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers 4/6.5/9/14/18/26.5/32/44/50 GHz - Data Sheet Mixed-Mode S-Parameters Mixed-mode S-parameters are also known as balanced measurements. Measurements Scc11 Common mode reflection Sdd11 Differential mode reflection Scd11 Differential mode stimulus, common mode response Sdc11 Common mode stimulus, differential mode response FieldFox’s mixed-mode S-parameter measurements require the use of the default factory calibration or a user 2-port calibration. So the FieldFox analyzer must be equipped with 2-port measurement functionality to measure mixed-mode S-parameters. Mixed-mode S-parameters are an extension of the VNA capabilities. Vector Voltmeter (VVM) With vector voltmeter mode, you can characterize the difference between two measurements easily. The zeroing function allows you to create a reference signal, and characterize the difference between two device measurements. The results are shown on a large display in digital format.

Pulsed-RF signals are an example of a periodic signal that can be measured with time gating. For example, you can measure the pulse during the on period, not the transition or the off period. Or you can exclude interfering signals such as a periodic transient. Time gating allows you to view spectral components that would otherwise be hidden. FieldFox’s time gating method is a Gated FFT.

See FieldFox Configuration Guide for detailed option ordering information. Many capabilities listed in this Data Sheet require options. System description ERTA can be used to measure the scalar transmission gain or loss of an RF system. It is useful when measuring long lossy cables where the two ends cannot easily be brought together, such as those bolted in on ships or aircrafts. It is also useful in measuring the insertion loss of waveguide systems, or using the frequency-offset feature, devices such as mixers and converters. ERTA measurements are based on two FieldFoxes; one at each end of the measured DUT. One FieldFox is the source and reference receiver (R), while the other is the measurement receiver (B). The two FieldFoxes are synchronized using hardware triggering. By taking advantage of FieldFox’s InstAlign technique, ERTA can be used to make accurate gain or loss measurements.

Dynamic range also accounts for the loss of the power splitter. Dynamic range is applicable when testing devices such as filters, where there is low loss in the passband, and significant loss in the stopband, and both passband and stopband need to be on the display at the same time (same sweep). Maximum attenuation is the difference between maximum output power available from FieldFox’s source and the noise floor of FieldFox. It also accounts for the loss of power splitter. Maximum attenuation is applicable when testing devices such as cables, which have relatively uniform loss over the swept frequency range. The values shown are based on the recommended minimum RBW of 3 kHz when the frequency references are locked via GPS, and 300 kHz when the frequency references are unlocked. Locking the frequency references to GPS allows for greater frequency accuracy of the FieldFoxes and use of a narrower RBW, which in turn results in a lower DANL, and hence a wider measurement range. When the GPS signals cannot be present at all times, the GPS hold-over mode can be used.

For an up-to-date listing of the supported power sensors, visit http://www.keysight.com/find/fieldfoxsupport. Description Setup parameters Frequency Functions Relative/absolute measurements, offsets, units of dBm or watts, or dB or %, minimum and maximum limits. Internal source FieldFox’s internal source can be turned on in the USB power sensor mode. CW frequency and nominal power level control are available. Pulse Measurements FieldFox’s pulse measurement option can be used to characterize RF pulses such as those used in radar and electronic warfare systems. Measurements are made using FieldFox and Keysight’s USB peak power sensors. Performance specifications such as frequency, dynamic range and minimum pulse width depend on the peak power sensor. Supported peak power sensors: http://www.keysight.com/find/fieldfoxsupport Description Setup parameters Frequency, time (center), time/division, gating, triggering, video bandwidth, averaging Functions Average power, peak power, and peak to average ratio Analog gauge display and digital display, dBm and watts Relative/absolute measurements, offset, dB or %, minimum and maximum limits Trace graph for pulse profiling with gating Rise time, fall time, pulse width, pulse period, pulse repetition frequency USB Power Sensor Measurements versus Frequency This feature allows FieldFox’s source frequency to be set independently from the power sensor (receiver) frequency. With frequency-offset using power sensor (FOPS), the frequency of both the source and receiver are swept, and the two track each other. The offset frequency can be negative, zero, or positive. FOPS can be used to characterize the scalar transmission response of devices such as mixers and converters. This frequency-offset capability is necessary for conversion loss/gain measurements on frequency-translating devices, since by definition, the input and output frequencies of the DUT are different. The FieldFox source stimulates the DUT and the power sensor is used as the measurement receiver. Since power sensors are inherently broadband devices (not frequency-selective), the user should ensure that only the signal of interest is present at the power sensor input and that all others signals are filtered appropriately. Setup parameters Source frequency Center/span or start/stop Receiver frequency Range determined by power sensor range Frequency offset Positive offset or negative offset Frequency step size 30 kHz minimum Number of points 2 to 1601 Combination of number of points and frequency step size limited by span.

Receiver sweep direction: forward (default setting) or reverse. For some DUTs, the output frequency may sweep in a reverse direction, as compared to the source frequency. The basic relationships between the source, receiver and offset frequencies are shown in the table below. The FieldFox analyzer includes an offset calculator that ensures a fast measurement setup. Src sweep direction Rx sweep direction Frequency calculations Forward f2src > f1src Forward f2rx > f1rx Receiver frequency = Source frequency ± Offset Forward f2src > f1src Reverse f2rx > f1rx Receiver frequency = Offset — Source Frequency Offset > Source frequency See FieldFox Configuration Guide for option information. Many capabilities listed in this Data Sheet require options. Description Measurements Source power, gain/loss and receiver (Rx) power Gain = Rx power / source power (memory). Source power (memory) is measured during setup. Output power Refer to the test port output power typical data on page 5. Dynamic range The dynamic range with FOPS is dependent on FieldFox’s output power and the power sensor’s dynamic range. Supported USB power sensors: www.keysight.com/find/fieldfoxsupport The graph below shows a filter measurement using two different power sensors, the U2002A (—60 to +20 dBm) and the U2021XA (—45 to +20 dBm). While a filter is not commonly measured using FOPS, it is a useful device for demonstrating dynamic range. For both measurements, the FieldFox source power was set to —1 dBm, the maximum available in the selected frequency range of 7.25 to 13.25 GHz. An external amplifier was not used in this case, but one can be added to increase the source power and hence dynamic range.

A trip function turns off the power supply when the rated current or power is exceeded. Remote Control Capability Option 030 adds remote control capability to FieldFox analyzers, so that FieldFox can be controlled via an iOS device. The FieldFox app, running on the iOS device, combined with Option 030 on the FieldFox analyzer provides full control of the instrument from a remote location. The app emulates the front panel of FieldFox, so users can press the FieldFox hardkeys or softkeys using their iPhone or iPad, and make measurements remotely. For example, a tower climber can be on the tower with a FieldFox analyzer, while the technician controls and makes the measurements down below, using an iPad. The iPad and FieldFox communicate via a network connection. iOS device requirements –– iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch –– iOS of 6.1 or higher –– A WiFi or 3G/4G connection The FieldFox app communicates with FieldFox via a network connection, so both the iOS device and FieldFox need to be on a network where both devices can reach the other. For example, a company intranet or a site installation using a wireless router. FieldFox can directly be connected to a LAN cable, or if wired LAN is not available, a user supplied wireless router can be configured to work with FieldFox. FieldFox does not include a wireless router. 44 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers 4/6.5/9/14/18/26.5/32/44/50 GHz - Data Sheet Remote Control Capability (continued) FieldFox app without Option 030 The FieldFox app can be installed on an iOS device independent of the presence of Option 030 on the analyzer. Without Option 030, users can view the live display screen of their FieldFox remotely, but cannot control the instrument.
