Keysight CXA Signal Analyzer
Specification Guide
This chapter contains the specifications for the core signal analyzer. The
specifications and characteristics for the measurement applications and options are
covered in the chapters that follow.

Keysight CXA Signal Analyzer
Definitions and Requirements
Definitions
• Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty (temperature =
0 to 55°C*, also referred to as "Full temperature range" or "Full range", unless otherwise noted.
• 95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the population (»2s) of performance tolerances expected
to be met in 95% of the cases with a 95% 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.
• Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product
warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80 of the units exhibit with a 95 confidence
level over the temperature range 20 to 30°C. Typical performance does not include measurement
uncertainty.
• Nominal values indicate expected performance, or describe product performance that is useful in the
application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.
The following conditions must be met for the analyzer to meet its specifications.
• The analyzer is within its calibration cycle. See the General section of this chapter.
• Under auto couple control, except that Auto Sweep Time Rules = Accy.
• For signal frequencies < 10 MHz, DC coupling applied (Option 513/526 only).
• Any analyzer that has been stored at a temperature range inside the allowed storage range but outside
the allowed operating range must be stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed operating
range for at least two hours before being turned on.
• The analyzer has been turned on at least 30 minutes with Auto Align set to Normal, or if Auto Align is
set to Off or Partial, alignments must have been run recently enough to prevent an Alert message. If the
Alert condition is changed from Time and Temperature. to one of the disabled duration choices, the
analyzer may fail to meet specifications without informing the user.
Certification
Keysight Technologies certifies that this product met its published specifications at the time of shipment
from the factory. Keysight Technologies further certifies that its calibration measurements are traceable to
the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology, to the extent allowed by the Institute’s
calibration facility, and to the calibration facilities of other International Standards Organization members.
*. For earlier instruments (SN prefix < MY/SG/US5423), the operating temperature ranges from 5 to 50°C.

b. If the signal being measured is locked to the same frequency reference as the analyzer, the specified count accuracy is 0.100 Hz
under the test conditions of footnote a. This error is a noisiness of the result. It will increase with noisy sources, wider RBWs,
lower S/N ratios, and source frequencies > 1 GHz.

a. Reference level and off-screen performance: The reference level (RL) behavior differs from previous analyzers (except PSA) in a
way that makes the Keysight CXA Signal Analyzer more flexible. In previous analyzers, the RL controlled how the measurement
was performed as well as how it was displayed. Because the logarithmic amplifier in previous analyzers had both range and res-
olution limitations, this behavior was necessary for optimum measurement accuracy. The logarithmic amplifier in the CXA signal
analyzer, however, is implemented digitally such that the range and resolution greatly exceed other instrument limitations.
Because of this, the CXA signal analyzer can make measurements largely independent of the setting of the RL without compro-
mising accuracy. Because the RL becomes a display function, not a measurement function, a marker can read out results that are
off-screen, either above or below, without any change in accuracy. The only exception to the independence of RL and the way in
which the measurement is performed is in the input attenuation setting: When the input attenuation is set to auto, the rules for
the determination of the input attenuation include dependence on the reference level. Because the input attenuation setting con-
trols the tradeoff between large signal behaviors (third-order intermodulation and compression) and small signal effects (noise),
the measurement results can change with RL changes when the input attenuation is set to auto.

a. The IF frequency response includes effects due to RF circuits such as input filters, that are a function of RF frequency, in addition
to the IF pass-band effects.
b. The maximum error at an offset (f) from the center of the FFT width is given by the expression [Midwidth Error + (f × Slope)], but
never exceeds Max Error. Usually, the span is no larger than the FFT width in which case the center of the FFT width is the cen-
ter frequency of the analyzer. When the analyzer span is wider than the FFT width, the span is made up of multiple concatenated
FFT results, and thus has multiple centers of FFT widths so the f in the equation is the offset from the nearest center. These spec-
ifications include the effect of RF frequency response as well as IF frequency response at the worst case center frequency. Perfor-
mance is nominally three times better than the maximum error at most center frequencies.
c. The specification does not apply for frequencies greater than 3.0 MHz from the center in FFT Widths of 7.2 to 8 MHz.
d. The "RMS" nominal performance is the standard deviation of the response relative to the center frequency, integrated across a 10
MHz span. This performance measure was observed at a single center frequency in each harmonic mixing band, which is repre-
sentative of all center frequencies; the observation center frequency is not the worst case center frequency.

a. Large signals, even at frequencies not shown on the screen, can cause the analyzer to incorrectly measure on-screen signals
because of two-tone gain compression. This specification tells how large an interfering signal must be in order to cause a 1 dB
change in an on-screen signal.
b. Specified at 1 kHz RBW with 1 MHz tone spacing.
c. Reference level and off-screen performance: The reference level (RL) behavior differs from some earlier analyzers in a way that
makes this analyzer more flexible. In other analyzers, the RL controlled how the measurement was performed as well as how it
was displayed. Because the logarithmic amplifier in these analyzers had both range and resolution limitations, this behavior was
necessary for optimum measurement accuracy. The logarithmic amplifier in this signal analyzer, however, is implemented digi-
tally such that the range and resolution greatly exceed other instrument limitations. Because of this, the analyzer can make mea-
surements largely independent of the setting of the RL without compromising accuracy. Because the RL becomes a display
function, not a measurement function, a marker can read out results that are off-screen, either above or below, without any
change in accuracy. The only exception to the independence of RL and the way in which the measurement is performed is in the
input attenuation setting: When the input attenuation is set to auto, the rules for the determination of the input attenuation
include dependence on the reference level. Because the input attenuation setting controls the tradeoff between large signal
behaviors (third-order intermodulation, compression, and display scale fidelity) and small signal effects (noise), the measure-
ment results can change with RL changes when the input attenuation is set to auto.
d. Mixer power level (dBm) = input power (dBm) input attenuation (dB).

a. The nominal performance of the phase noise at center frequencies different than the one at which the specifications
apply (1 GHz) depends on the center frequency, band and the offset. For low offset frequencies, offsets well under
100 Hz, the phase noise increases by 20 log[(f + 0.3225)/1.3225]. For mid-offset frequencies such as 10 kHz, band
0 phase noise increases as 20 log[(f + 5.1225)/6.1225]. For mid-offset frequencies in other bands, phase noise
changes as 20 log[(f + 0.3225)/6.1225] except f in this expression should never be lower than 5.8. For wide offset
frequencies, offsets above about 100 kHz, phase noise increases as 20 log(N). N is the LO Multiple as shown on
page 15; f is in GHz units in all these relationships; all increases are in units of decibels.
b. Noise sidebands for lower offset frequencies, for example, 10 kHz, apply with the phase noise optimization (PhNoise
Opt) set to Best Close-in Noise. Noise sidebands for higher offset frequencies, for example, 1 MHz, as shown apply
with the phase noise optimization set to Best Wide-offset Noise.
c. Specifications are given with the internal frequency reference. The phase noise at offsets below 100 Hz is impacted or
dominated by noise from the reference. Thus, performance with external references will not follow the curves and
specifications. The internal 10 MHz reference phase noise is about –120 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset; external references
with poorer phase noise than this will cause poorer performance than shown.

a. The effect of scale fidelity on the ratio of two powers is called the relative scale fidelity. The scale fidelity specified in the Ampli-
tude section is an absolute scale fidelity with 35 dBm at the input mixer as the reference point. The relative scale fidelity is
nominally only 0.01 dB larger than the absolute scale fidelity.
b. See Amplitude Accuracy and Range section.
c. See Frequency and Time section.
d. Expressed in decibels.
e. An ACP measurement measures the power in adjacent channels. The shape of the response versus frequency of those adjacent
channels is occasionally critical. One parameter of the shape is its 3 dB bandwidth. When the bandwidth (called the Ref BW) of
the adjacent channel is set, it is the 3 dB bandwidth that is set. The passband response is given by the convolution of two func-
tions: a rectangle of width equal to Ref BW and the power response versus frequency of the RBW filter used. Measurements and
specifications of analog radio ACPs are often based on defined bandwidths of measuring receivers, and these are defined by
their 6 dB widths, not their 3 dB widths. To achieve a passband whose 6 dB width is x, set the Ref BW to be
x – 0.572 RBW .
f. Most versions of adjacent channel power measurements use negative numbers, in units of dBc, to refer to the power in an adja-
cent channel relative to the power in a main channel, in accordance with ITU standards. The standards for W-CDMA analysis
include ACLR, a positive number represented in dB units. In order to be consistent with other kinds of ACP measurements, this
measurement and its specifications will use negative dBc results, and refer to them as ACPR, instead of positive dB results
referred to as ACLR. The ACLR can be determined from the ACPR reported by merely reversing the sign.
g. The accuracy of the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio will depend on the mixer drive level and whether the distortion products from
the analyzer are coherent with those in the UUT. These specifications apply even in the worst case condition of coherent analyzer
and UUT distortion products. For ACPR levels other than those in this specifications table, the optimum mixer drive level for
accuracy is approximately 37 dBm (ACPR/3), where the ACPR is given in (negative) decibels.
h. The Fast method has a slight decrease in accuracy in only one case: for BTS measurements at 5 MHz offset, the accuracy
degrades by 0.01 dB relative to the accuracy shown in this table.
i. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) or user equipment (UE) within 3 dB of the required 33 dBc
ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is 20 dBm, so the input attenuation must
be set as close as possible to the average input power (20 dBm). For example, if the average input power is 6 dBm, set the
attenuation to 14 dB. This specification applies for the normal 3.5 dB peak-to-average ratio of a single code. Note that if the
mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
j. ACPR accuracy at 10 MHz offset is warranted when the input attenuator is set to give an average mixer level of 10 dBm.
k. In order to meet this specified accuracy, the mixer level must be optimized for accuracy when measuring node B Base Transmis-
sion Station (BTS) within 3 dB of the required 45 dBc ACPR. This optimum mixer level is 18 dBm, so the input attenuation
must be set as close as possible to the average input power (18 dBm). For example, if the average input power is 5 dBm, set
the attenuation to 13 dB. This specification applies for the normal 10 dB peak-to-average ratio (at 0.01 probability) for Test
Model 1. Note that, if the mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
l. Accuracy can be excellent even at low ACPR levels assuming that the user sets the mixer level to optimize the dynamic range,
and assuming that the analyzer and UUT distortions are incoherent. When the errors from the UUT and the analyzer are incoher-
ent, optimizing dynamic range is equivalent to minimizing the contribution of analyzer noise and distortion to accuracy, though
the higher mixer level increases the display scale fidelity errors. This incoherent addition case is commonly used in the industry
and can be useful for comparison of analysis equipment, but this incoherent addition model is rarely justified. This derived accu-
racy specification is based on a mixer level of 13 dBm.
m. Keysight measures 100% of the signal analyzers for dynamic range in the factory production process. This measurement requires
a near-ideal signal, which is impractical for field and customer use. Because field verification is impractical, Keysight only gives a
typical result. More than 80% of prototype instruments met this “typical” specification; the factory test line limit is set commen-
surate with an on-going 80% yield to this typical.
The ACPR dynamic range is verified only at 2 GHz, where Keysight has the near-perfect signal available. The dynamic range is
specified for the optimum mixer drive level, which is different in different instruments and different conditions. The test signal is
a 1 DPCH signal.
The ACPR dynamic range is the observed range. This typical specification includes no measurement uncertainty.

the RBW filter is nominally 1.055 times the 3.01 dB bandwidth. Therefore, the RBW method will nominally read 0.23 dB higher
adjacent channel power than would a measurement using the integration bandwidth method, because the noise bandwidth of
the integration bandwidth measurement is equal to that integration bandwidth. For cdmaOne ACPR measurements using the
RBW method, the main channel is measured in a 3 MHz RBW, which does not respond to all the power in the carrier. Therefore,
the carrier power is compensated by the expected under-response of the filter to a full width signal, of 0.15 dB. But the adjacent
channel power is not compensated for the noise bandwidth effect.
The reason the adjacent channel is not compensated is subtle. The RBW method of measuring ACPR is very similar to the pre-
ferred method of making measurements for compliance with FCC requirements, the source of the specifications for the cdmaOne
Spur Close specifications. ACPR is a spot measurement of Spur Close, and thus is best done with the RBW method, even though
the results will disagree by 0.23 dB from the measurement made with a rectangular passband.
b. The specified ACPR accuracy applies if the measured ACPR substantially exceeds the analyzer dynamic range at the specified
offset. When this condition is not met, there are additional errors due to the addition of analyzer spectral components to UUT
spectral components. In the worst case at these offsets, the analyzer spectral components are all coherent with the UUT compo-
nents; in a more typical case, one third of the analyzer spectral power will be coherent with the distortion components in the
UUT. Coherent means that the phases of the UUT distortion components and the analyzer distortion components are in a fixed
relationship, and could be perfectly in-phase. This coherence is not intuitive to many users, because the signals themselves are
usually pseudo-random; nonetheless, they can be coherent.
When the analyzer components are 100 coherent with the UUT components, the errors add in a voltage sense. That error is a
function of the signal (UUT ACPR) to noise (analyzer ACPR dynamic range limitation) ratio, SN, in decibels.
The function is error = 20 log(1 + 10SN/20)
For example, if the UUT ACPR is 62 dB and the measurement floor is 82 dB, the SN is 20 dB and the error due to adding the
analyzer distortion to that of the UUT is 0.83 dB.
c. As in footnote b, the specified ACPR accuracy applies if the ACPR measured substantially exceeds the analyzer dynamic range at
the specified offset. When this condition is not met, there are additional errors due to the addition of analyzer spectral compo-
nents to UUT spectral components. Unlike the situation in footnote b, though, the spectral components from the analyzer will be
non-coherent with the components from the UUT. Therefore, the errors add in a power sense. The error is a function of the signal
(UUT ACPR) to noise (analyzer ACPR dynamic range limitation) ratio, SN, in decibels.
The function is error = 10 log(1 + 10SN/10).
For example, if the UUT ACPR is 75 dB and the measurement floor is 85 dB, the SN ratio is 10 dB and the error due to adding
the analyzer's noise to that of the UUT is 0.41 dB.

VXA Vector Signal Analysis Measurement Application
Specification Guide
This chapter contains specifications for the W9064A VXA vector signal analysis
measurement application.
Because digital communications signals are noise-like, all measurements will have
variations. The specifications apply only with adequate averaging to remove those
variations.
These specifications summarize the performance for the CXA Signal Analyzer and
apply to the VXA vector signal analysis measurement application inside the analyzer.
Values shown in the column labeled "Specs & Nominals" are a mix of warranted
specifications, guaranteed-by-design parameters, and conservative but not
warranted observations of performance of sample instruments.

a. DANL is specified in the narrowest resolution bandwidth (1 Hz) with log averaging, in accordance with industry and
historic standards. The effect of log averaging is to reduce the noise level by 2.51 dB. The effect of using a 1 Hz
RBW is to increase the measured noise because the noise bandwidth of the 1 Hz RBW filter is nominally 1.056 Hz,
thus adding 0.23 dB to the level. The combination of these effects makes the sensitivity, in units of dBm/Hz, 2.27
dB higher than DANL in units of dBm in a 1 Hz RBW.

a. Large signals, even at frequencies not shown on the screen, can cause the analyzer to incorrectly measure on-screen signals
because of two-tone gain compression. This specification tells how large an interfering signal must be in order to cause a 1 dB
change in an on-screen signal.
b. Specified at 1 kHz RBW with 1 MHz tone spacing.
c. Reference level and off-screen performance: The reference level (RL) behavior differs from some earlier analyzers in a way that
makes this analyzer more flexible. In other analyzers, the RL controlled how the measurement was performed as well as how it
was displayed. Because the logarithmic amplifier in these analyzers had both range and resolution limitations, this behavior was
necessary for optimum measurement accuracy. The logarithmic amplifier in this signal analyzer, however, is implemented
digitally such that the range and resolution greatly exceed other instrument limitations. Because of this, the analyzer can make
measurements largely independent of the setting of the RL without compromising accuracy. Because the RL becomes a display
function, not a measurement function, a marker can read out results that are off-screen, either above or below, without any
change in accuracy. The only exception to the independence of RL and the way in which the measurement is performed is in the
input attenuation setting: When the input attenuation is set to auto, the rules for the determination of the input attenuation
include dependence on the reference level. Because the input attenuation setting controls the tradeoff between large signal
behaviors (third-order intermodulation, compression, and display scale fidelity) and small signal effects (noise), the
measurement results can change with RL changes when the input attenuation is set to auto.
d. Mixer power level (dBm) = input power (dBm) input attenuation (dB).

a. The IF frequency response includes effects due to RF circuits such as input filters, that are a function of RF frequency, in addition
to the IF pass-band effects.
b. The maximum error at an offset (f) from the center of the FFT width is given by the expression [Midwidth Error + (f × Slope)], but
never exceeds Max Error. Usually, the span is no larger than the FFT width in which case the center of the FFT width is the cen-
ter frequency of the analyzer. When the analyzer span is wider than the FFT width, the span is made up of multiple concatenated
FFT results, and thus has multiple centers of FFT widths so the f in the equation is the offset from the nearest center. These spec-
ifications include the effect of RF frequency response as well as IF frequency response at the worst case center frequency. Perfor-
mance is nominally three times better than the maximum error at most center frequencies.
c. The specification does not apply for frequencies greater than 3.6 MHz from the center in FFT Widths of 7.2 to 8 MHz.
d. The "RMS" nominal performance is the standard deviation of the response relative to the center frequency, integrated across a 10
MHz span. This performance measure was observed at a single center frequency in each harmonic mixing band, which is repre-
sentative of all center frequencies; the observation center frequency is not the worst case center frequency.

• Channel BW:50 kHz
• Rate: 20 Hz to 50 kHz
• SINAD bandwidth: (Channel BW) / 2
• Single tone - sinusoid modulation
*.Peak deviation, modulation index ("beta"), and modulation rate are related by PeakDeviation = ModIndex Rate. Each of these
has an allowable range, but all conditions must be satisfied at the same time. For example, PeakDeviation = 80 kHz at Rate = 20
Hz is not allowed, since ModIndex = PeakDeviation/Rate would be 4000, but ModIndex is limited to 2000. In addition, all signif-
icant sidebands must be contained in Channel BW. For FM, an approximate rule-of-thumb is 2 [PeakDeviation + Rate] <
Channel BW; this implies that PeakDeviation might be large if the Rate is small, but both cannot be large at the same time.

Analog Out
Analog Out
The "Analog Out" connector (BNC) is located at the analyzer’s rear panel. It is a multi-purpose output,
whose function depends on options and operating mode (active application). When the W9063A Analog
Demod application is active, this output carries a voltage waveform reconstructed by a real-time hardware
demodulator (designed to drive the "Demod to Speaker" function for listening). The processing path and
algorithms for this output are entirely separate from those of the W9063A application itself; the Analog Out
waveform is not necessarily identical the application's Demod Waveform.
Analog out scale adjust User-settable factor, range from 0.5 to 10, default =1, applied
to above V/Hz scaling.
Most controls in the W9063A application do not affect Analog Out. The few that do are:
* choice of AM, FM, or PM (FM Stereo not supported)
* tuned Center Freq
* Channel BW (affects IF filter, sample rate, and FM scaling)
* some post-demod filters and de-emphasis (the hardware demodulator has limited filter choices; it will attempt to inherit the
filter settings in the app, but with constraints and approximations)
With software revision A.14.xx or higher, the FM case has repeatable and deterministic scaling and offset behavior, and is
continuous (smooth) through acquisition cycles. See above. The AM and PM cases are not, and should be used with caution.

a. The figures given in the table are for the uncertainty added by the CXA 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 Uncer-
tainty Calculator. Similar calculators are also available on the Keysight web site; go to
http://www.keysight.com/find/nfu.
b. 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.
c. “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 since this is the widest bandwidth with uncompromising accuracy.

a. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) at 24 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be opti-
mized for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is 25 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the
average input power. For example, if the average input power is dBm, set the attenuation to 16 dB. Note that if the mixer
level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
b. ACPR accuracy for this case is warranted when the input attenuator is set to give an average mixer level of 14 dBm (for all
alternate channel cases).
c. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) at 24 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be opti-
mized for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is 24 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the
average input power. For example, if the average input power is 4 dBm, set the attenuation to 20 dB. Note that if the mixer
level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
d. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring base station (BS) at 45 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized
for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is20 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the average
input power. For example, if the average input power is 4 dBm, set the attenuation to 16 dB. Note that if the mixer level is
set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
e. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring base station (BS) at 45 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized

a. The accuracy of the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio will depend on the mixer drive level and whether the distortion products
from the analyzer are coherent with those in the UUT. These specifications apply even in the worst case condition of coherent
analyzer and UUT distortion products. For ACPR levels other than those in this specifications table, the optimum mixer drive
level for accuracy is approximately 37 dBm (ACPR/3), where the ACPR is given in (negative) decibels.
b. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) or user equipment (UE) within 3 dB of the required 33
dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized for accuracy. This optimum mixer level is 24 dBm, so the input
attenuation must be set as close as possible to the average input power (22 dBm). For example, if the average input power
is 6 dBm, set the attenuation to 16 dB. This specification applies for the normal 3.5 dB peak-to-average ratio of a single
code. Note that if the mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nominally doubled.
c. ACPR accuracy at 10 MHz offset is warranted when the input attenuator is set to give an average mixer level of 14 dBm (for all
alternate channel and non-coherent ACPR).
d. In order to meet this specified accuracy, the mixer level must be optimized for accuracy when measuring node B Base Trans-
mission Station (BTS) within 3 dB of the required 45 dBc ACPR. This optimum mixer level is 18 dBm, so the input attenua-
tion must be set as close as possible to the average input power (18 dBm). For example, if the average input power is 5
dBm, set the attenuation to 13 dB. This specification applies for the normal 10 dB peak-to-average ratio (at 0.01 probabil-
ity) for Test Model 1. Note that, if the mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are
nominally doubled.
e. Keysight measures 100% of the signal analyzers for dynamic range in the factory production process. This measurement
requires a near-ideal signal, which is impractical for field and customer use. Because field verification is impractical, Keysight
only gives a typical result. More than 80% of prototype instruments met this “typical” specification; the factory test line limit is
set commensurate with an on-going 80% yield to this typical.
The ACPR dynamic range is verified only at 2 GHz, where Keysight has the near-perfect signal available. The dynamic range is
specified for the optimum mixer drive level, which is different in different instruments and different conditions. The test signal
is a 1 DPCH signal.
The ACPR dynamic range is the observed range. This typical specification includes no measurement uncertainty.
f. 3GPP requires the use of a root-raised-cosine filter in evaluating the ACLR of a device. The accuracy of the passband shape of
the filter is not specified in standards, nor is any method of evaluating that accuracy. This footnote discusses the performance
of the filter in this instrument. The effect of the RRC filter and the effect of the RBW used in the measurement interact. The ana-
lyzer compensates the shape of the RRC filter to accommodate the RBW filter. The effectiveness of this compensation is sum-
marized in three ways:
White noise in Adj Ch: The compensated RRC filter nominally has no errors if the adjacent channel has a spectrum that is flat
across its width.
TOI-induced spectrum: If the spectrum is due to third-order intermodulation, it has a distinctive shape. The computed errors
of the compensated filter are 0.004 dB for the 470 kHz RBW used for UE testing with the IBW method and also used for all
testing with the Fast method, and 0.000 dB for the 30 kHz RBW filter used for BTS testing with the IBW method. The worst
error for RBWs between these extremes is 0.05 dB for a 330 kHz RBW filter.
rms CW error: This error is a measure of the error in measuring a CW-like spurious component. It is evaluated by computing
the root of the mean of the square of the power error across all frequencies within the adjacent channel. The computed rms
error of the compensated filter is 0.023 dB for the 470 kHz RBW used for UE testing with the IBW method and also used for all
testing with the Fast method, and 0.000 dB for the 30 kHz RBW filter used for BTS testing. The worst error for RBWs between
these extremes is 0.057 dB for a 430 kHz RBW filter.

a. ML (mixer level) is RF input power minus attenuation.
b. The accuracy specification applies when the EVM to be measured is well above the measurement floor and successfully syn-
chronized to the signal. When the EVM does not greatly exceed the floor, the errors due to the floor add to the accuracy errors.
The errors due to the floor are noise-like and add incoherently with the UUT EVM. The errors depend on the EVM of the UUT
and the floor as follows: error = sqrt(EVMUUT2 + EVMsa2) EVMUUT, where EVMUUT is the EVM of the UUT in percent, and
EVMsa is the EVM floor of the analyzer in percent.

a. Maximum dynamic range requires RF input power above 2 dBm for offsets of 1.2 MHz and below for GSM, and above 5 dBm
for EDGE. For offsets of 1.8 MHz and above, the required RF input power for maximum dynamic range is +8 dBm for GSM signals
and +5 dBm for EDGE signals.
b. When the margin between this performance level and 3GPP requirements is not adequate, it may not test against the 3GPP test
limits.
c. ORFS standards call for the use of a 5-pole, sync-tuned filter; this and the following footnotes review the instrument's confor-
mance to that standard. Offset frequencies can be measured by using either the FFT method or the direct time method. By
default, the FFT method is used for offsets of 400 kHz and below, and the direct time method is used for offsets above 400 kHz.
The FFT method is faster, but has lower dynamic range than the direct time method.
Chapter 17 163
GSM/EDGE Measurement Application
Measurements
d. The direct time method uses digital Gaussian RBW filters whose noise bandwidth (the measure of importance to “spectrum due
to modulation”) is within 0.5 of the noise bandwidth of an ideal 5-pole sync-tuned filter. However, the Gaussian filters do not
match the 5-pole standard behavior at offsets of 400 kHz and below, because they have lower leakage of the carrier into the fil-
ter. The lower leakage of the Gaussian filters provides a superior measurement because the leakage of the carrier masks the
ORFS due to the UUT, so that less masking lets the test be more sensitive to variations in the UUT spectral splatter. But this
superior measurement gives a result that does not conform with ORFS standards. Therefore, the default method for offsets of
400 kHz and below is the FFT method.
e. The FFT method uses an exact 5-pole sync-tuned RBW filter, implemented in software.
f. EDGE (others) means NSR 16/32QAM and HSR all formats (QPSK/16QAM/32QAM).
g. The dynamic range for offsets at and below 400 kHz is not directly observable because the signal spectrum obscures the result.
These dynamic range specifications are computed from phase noise observations.
h. Offsets of 1.8 MHz and higher use 100 kHz analysis bandwidths.
i. Offsets of 1.8 MHz and higher use 100 kHz analysis bandwidths.
j. The impulse bandwidth (the measure of importance to “spectrum due to switching transients”) of the filter used in the direct time
method is 0.8 less than the impulse bandwidth of an ideal 5-pole sync-tuned filter, with a tolerance of 0.5. Unlike the case
with spectrum due to modulation, the shape of the filter response (Gaussian vs. sync-tuned) does not affect the results due to
carrier leakage, so the only parameter of the filter that matters to the results is the impulse bandwidth. There is a mean error of
0.07 dB due to the impulse bandwidth of the filter, which is compensated in the measurement of ORFS due to switching. By
comparison, an analog RBW filter with a 10 width tolerance would cause a maximum amplitude uncertainty of 0.9 dB.

c. The accuracy specification applies when the EVM to be measured is well above the measurement floor. When the EVM does not
greatly exceed the floor, the errors due to the floor add to the accuracy errors. The errors due to the floor are noise-like and add
incoherently with the UUT EVM. The errors depend on the EVM of the UUT and the floor as follows: error = [sqrt(EVMUUT2 +
EVMsa2)] EVMUUT, where EVMUUT is the EVM of the UUT in percent, and EVMsa is the EVM floor of the analyzer in percent.
For example, if the EVM of the UUT is 7, and the floor is 2.5, the error due to the floor is 0.43.
d. The accuracy is derived in the EVM range 0 ~ 18. We choose the maximum EVM variance in the results as the accuracy.
e. This specifies a synchronization range with Midamble.

a. In these specifications, those values with % units are the specifications, while those with decibel units, in parentheses, are con-
versions from the percentage units to decibels for reader convenience.
b. The accuracy specification applies when EVM is less than 1% and no boost applies for the reference signal.
c. Requires Option B25 (IF bandwidth above 10 MHz, up to 25 MHz).
d. The accuracy specification applies when the EVM to be measured is well above the measurement floor. When the EVM does not
greatly exceed the floor, the errors due to the floor add to the accuracy errors. The errors due to the floor are noise-like and add
incoherently with the UUT EVM. The errors depend on the EVM of the UUT and the floor as follows: error = [sqrt(EVMUUT2 +
