High Performance Spectrum Analyzers, PSA Series (cont.)
Signal Analysis
Connectivity
The PSA Series has built-in capability to network with PCs, printers,
software programs, and test systems. Features include IVI-COM
drivers for developing measurement routines and collecting results,
IntuiLink connectivity software to transfer measurement results
and screen captures directly into Microsoft® Excel and Word, a
floppy disk drive to store results and display data, and GPIB and
10 baseT LAN for SCPI programming. Additionally, a USB 2.0
device-side I/O interface is available for the high throughput data
transfer. You can also operate the analyzer remotely, anywhere in
the world, using our BenchLink Web Remote control software
(Option 230).
Upgrade from the HP8566A/B or HP8568A/B Analyzer
The PSA Series spectrum analyzers offer programming code com-
patibility with the Agilent 856x, 895x, and HP 8566A/B, 8568A/B
legacy spectrum analyzers. Option 266 allows users with those
legacy instruments to upgrade their automated test equipment
(ATE) systems with modern and supportable ESA-E or PSA Series
spectrum analyzers as the HP 8566A/B, 8568A/B instruments reach
the end of their formal support lives. Additionally, PSA Option 124
provides 8566A/B, 8568A/B analog Y-axis video out capability.
Measurements Beyond 50 GHz
With optional external mixing capability (Option AYZ) along with
harmonic mixers, the Agilent PSA (E4440A/46A/47A/48A) can
measure signals up to 325 GHz. The PSA Option AYZ will support
Agilent 11970 Series millimeter harmonic mixers, Agilent 11974
Series preselected millimeter harmonic mixers as well as third party
mixers. The PSA Option AYZ offers patented signal identification
methods to help you identify true signals to be test more efficiently,
and amplitude correction to compensate for conversion loss
incurred in external mixers. It also supplies bias voltage with
adjustable current for third-party mixers requiring biasing to maxi-
mize signal conversion.
Gated Sweep
Analyze time-varying signals such as pulsed RF, time division multi-
ple access (TDMA), interleaved and burst-modulated signals with
gated sweep capability that is now a standard feature of all the PSA
Series spectrum analyzers. The gated sweep capability enables the
PSA to perform fast and accurate spectrum measurements on burst
signals without interference from switching the carrier on and off.
The gate length can be easily adjusted between 10 µs and 500 ms,
and the gate delay from 0 to 500 ms. Users can choose between
external TTL trigger, variable level trigger, or burst trigger to start
the PSA gated sweep according to the nature of time-varying signals
under test.
External Source Control (Option 215)
The external source control measurement personality, available on
all the PSA Series models (E4440A/43A/45A/46A/47A/48A),
enables these high-performance spectrum analyzers to control
Agilent PSG or ESG signal generators for scalar network analysis up
to 50 GHz. A variety of controlled sweep modes, including standard
sweep, harmonic sweep, offset sweep, and power sweep, provides
the optimal test tools for characterizing different components. Wide
dynamic range (up to and beyond 109 dB) allows accurate measure-
ments for a component with the presence of high and low power
levels at the same time. One-button normalization and open/short
calibration help to remove the systemic frequency response errors
incurred in the transmission and return loss measurements, respec-
tively, to further improve the measurement accuracy.
Measurement Personalities
Phase Noise (Option 226)
This optional, built-in measurement personality consolidates
advanced spectrum analysis capability and phase noise measure-
ments into a single oscillator test. This flexible tool can quickly and
easily generate plots of phase noise in dBc/Hz versus log offset
frequency or measure jitter or make continuous real-time spot
frequency phase noise measurements. An intuitive user-interface
provides easily adjustable parameters without the need to resort to
cumbersome tables.
Noise Figure (Option 219)
The noise figure measurement personality provides fast, one-button
noise figure and gain measurements from 200 kHz up to 26.5 GHz.
DUT setup menus help guide you easily through amplifier and mixer
measurements, and a built-in measurement uncertainty calculator
makes it easy to qualify your measurement system. An optional
internal preamplifier (Option 1DS) improves instrument uncertain-
ty to ±0.05 dB for frequencies up to 3 GHz, so you can conveniently
and accurately measure devices with low noise figure. A 50 GHz
internal preamplifier (Option 110) enables nominal performance to
the highest frequency of the PSA.
Flexible Digital Modulation Analysis (Option 241)
The flexible digital modulation analysis measurement personality
allows you to measure error vector magnitude (EVM), and trouble-
shooting digital communication systems. This option makes PSA
as a single analyzer for spectrum and modulation analysis with a
variety of digital modulation formats including industry standard
formats such as: IS-95 (cdmaOne), cdma2000, W-CDMA,
EDGE/GSM, NADC, PDC, PHS,
Bluetooth
, TETRA, ZigBee, APCO25
Phase1, and VDL mode3. If you are working with customized or
unique formats different from existing standards, you can easily set
up your own custom demodulation formats (MSK, PSK, FSK, QAM,
etc.) and parameters to suit your application.
