Noise Figure Uncertainty Calculatora a. To compute the total uncertainty for your noise figure measurement, you need to take into account other fac- tors including: DUT NF, Gain and Match, Instrument NF, Gain Uncertainty and Match; Noise source ENR uncer- tainty 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

ever, total uncertainty is higher because the analyzer has poorer noise figure, leading to higher uncertainties as

The instrument uncertainties shown are under best-case sw eep time conditions, which is a sweep time near to the period of the power line, such as 20 ms for 50 Hz power sources. The behavior can be greatly degraded (uncertainty increased nominally by 0.12 dB) by setting the sweep time per point far from an integer multiple of
Uncertaintyde d. “Instrument Uncertainty” is defined for noise figure analysis as uncertainty due to relative amplitude uncertain- ties 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
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

uncertainty as well as causing errors in the measurement of gain. These effects can be predicted with the
uncertainty calculator. b. Uncertainty performance of the instrument is nominally the same in this frequency range as in the higher fre- quency 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. For frequencies above
3.6 GHz, the analyzer uses a YIG- tuned filter (YTF) as a preselector, which adds uncer- tainty to the gain. When the Y factor is small, such as with low gain DUTs, this uncertainty can be greatly multi- plied and dominate the uncertainty in NF (as the user can compute with the Uncertainty Calculator), as well as
When the Y-factor is small, the non-YTF mechanism that causes Instrument Uncertainty for Gain is the same as
the one that causes IU for NF with low ENR. Therefore, we would recommend the following practice: When
using the Uncertainty Calculator for measurements above
3.6 GHz, fill in the IU for Gain parameter with the sum
When estimating the IU for Gain for the purposes of a gain measurement for frequencies above
3.6 GHz, use the
You will find, when using the Uncertainty Calculator, that the IU for Gain is only important when the input noise
of the spectrum analyzer is significant compared to the output noise of the DUT. That means that the best
devices, those with high enough gain, will have comparable uncertainties for frequencies below and above
3.6 GHz.
The additional uncertainty shown is that observed to be met in 95% of the frequency/instrument combinations
tested with 95% confidence. It is not warranted.

Frequency and Time b. N is the LO multiplication factor. For ne gative mixing modes (as indicated by the “−” in the “Harmonic Mixing
Mode” column), the desired 1st LO harmonic is higher than the tuned frequency by the
1st IF (5.1225 GHz for
band 0
322.5 MHz for all other bands).
c. In the band overlap regions, for exam ple
3.5 to 3.6 GHz, the analyzer may use either band for measurements, in
this example Band 0 or Band 1. The analyzer gives preference to the band with the better overall specifications
(which is the lower numbered band for all frequencies below
26 GHz), but will choose the other band if doing so is
necessary to achieve a sweep having minimum band crossings. For example, with CF =
3.58 GHz, with a span of
40 MHz or less, the analyzer uses Band 0, because the stop frequency is
3.6 GHz or less, allowing a span without
band crossings in the preferred band. If the span is between 40 and 160 MHz, the analyzer uses Band
1, because
the start frequency is above 3.5 GHz, allowing the sweep to be done without a band crossing in Band
1, though
the stop frequency is above 3.6 GHz, preventing a Band
0 sweep without band crossing. With a span greater than
160 MHz, a band crossing will be required: the analyzer sweeps up to 3.6 GHz in Band
0; then executes a band
crossing and continues the sweep in Band
1.
Specifications are given separately for each band in the band overlap regions. One of these specifications is for the
preferred band, and one for the alternate band. Continuing with the example from the previous paragraph
(3.58 GHz), the preferred band is band 0 (indicated as frequencies under
3.6 GHz) and the alternate band is band
1 (3.5 to 8.4 GHz). The specifications for the preferred band are warranted. The specifications for the alternate
band are not warranted in the band overlap region, but performance is nominally the same as those warranted
specifications in the rest of the band. Again, in this example, consider a signal at 3.58 GHz. If the sweep has been
configured so that the signal at 3.58 GHz is measured in Band 1, the analysis behavior is nominally as stated in the
Band
1 specification line (3.5 to 8.4 GHz) but is not warranted. If warranted performance is necessary for this sig-
nal, the sweep should be reconfigured so that analysis occurs in Band
0. Another way to express this situation in
this example Band 0/Band 1 crossing is this: The specifications given in the “Specifications” column which are
from 3.6 to 7.0 GHz.

c. Specifications apply to traces in most cases, but ther e are exceptions. Specifications always apply to the peak
detector. Specifications apply when only one detector is in use and all active traces are set to Clear Write. Spec-
points, the errors in excess of the bucket quantization limitation were negligible.
readout accuracy is 2% of RBW for RBWs from 1 Hz to 390 kHz, 4% of RBW from 430 kHz through
3 MHz (the
First example: a 120 MHz span, with autocoupled RBW. The autocoupled ratio of span to RBW is
106:1, so
the RBW selected is 1.1 MHz. The 5% × RBW term contributes only
55 kHz to the total frequency readout accu-
racy, compared to 300 kHz for the
0.0.25% × span term, for a total of 355 kHz. In this example, if an instrument
had an unusually high RBW centering error of 7% of RBW (77 kHz) and a span error of 0.20% of span (240 kHz),
Second example: a 20 MHz span, with a
4 MHz RBW. The specification equation does not apply because the
Span: RBW ratio is not autocoupled. If the equation did apply, it would allow
50 kHz of error (0.25%) due to the
span and 200 kHz error (5%) due to the RBW. For this non-autocoupled RBW, the RBW error is nominally
30%
or 1200 kHz.
b. Horizontal resolution is due to the marker readin g out one of the sweep points. The points are spaced by
span/(Npts –1), where Npts is the number of sweep points. For example, with the factory preset value of 1001
sweep points, the horizontal resolution is span/1000. However, there is an exception: When both the detector
mode is “normal” and the span > 0.25 × (Npts –1) × RBW, peaks can occur only in even-numbered points, so
the effective horizontal resolution becomes doubled, or span/500 for the factory preset case. When the RBW is

since any change from the use of multiple detectors to a single detector. In other cases, such as when multiple
simultaneous detectors are in use, additional errors of 0.5
1.0 or 1.5 sweep points will occur in some detectors
depending on the combination of detectors in use. d. In most cases, the frequency readout accuracy of the an alyzer can be exceptionally good. As an example, Key- sight has characterized the accuracy of a span commonly used for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing using a source frequency locked to the analyzer. Ideally, this sweep would include EMC bands C and D and thus
sweep from 30 to 1000 MHz. Ideally, the analysis bandwidth would be
120 kHz at −6 dB, and the spacing of the
points would be half of this (60 kHz). With a start frequency of 30 MHz and a stop frequency of 1000.2 MHz and
a total of 16168 points, the spacing of points is ideal. The detector used was the Peak detector. The accuracy of
frequency readout of all the points tested in this span was with ±0.0032% of the span. A perfect analyzer with
this many points would have an accuracy of ±0.0031% of span. Thus, even with this large number of display

width of the RBW used for the measurement. Power bandwidth accuracy is the power uncertainty in the results
of these measurements due only to bandwidth-related errors. (The analyzer knows this power bandwidth for
each RBW with greater accuracy than the RBW width itself, and can therefore achieve lower errors.) The war-
ranted specifications shown apply to the Gaussian RBW filters used in swept and zero span analysis. There are

The wide range of conditions of RBW, signal level, VBW, reference level and display scale are discussed in foot-
worst of the two computed 95th percentile results (they ere very close) is shown.
note a. There are 44 quasi-random combinations used, tested at a
50 MHz signal frequency. We compute the
95th percentile proportion with 95% confidence for this set observed over a statistically significant number of
instruments. Also, the frequency response relative to the
50 MHz response is characterized by varying the signal
across a large number of quasi-random verification frequencies that are chosen to not correspond with the fre-
quency response adjustment frequencies. We again compute the
95th percentile proportion with 95% confi-
dence for this set observed over a statistically significant number of instruments. We also compute the
95th
percentile accuracy of tracing the calibration of the
50 MHz absolute amplitude accuracy to a national stan-
dards organization. We also compute the 95th percentile accuracy of tracing the calibration of the relative fre-
quency response to a national standards organization. We take the root-sum-square of these four independent
Gaussian parameters. To that rss we add the environmental effects of temperature variations across the
20 to
30°C range. These computations and measurements are made with the mechanical attenuator only in circuit,
set to the reference state of 10 dB.
A similar process is used for computing the result when using the electronic attenuator under a wide range of
settings: all even settings from 4 through
24 dB inclusive, with the mechanical attenuator set to 10 dB. Then the

a. Supplemental information: The amplitude detection linearity specification applies at all levels below

noise is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N. If the S/N is large (20 dB or better), the amplitude error
The errors due to S/N ratio can be further reduced by averaging results. For large S/N (20 dB or better), the

Description Specifications Supplemental Information
1 dB Gain Compression Point (Two-tone)abc a. Large signals, even at frequencies not shown on the screen, can cause the analyzer to incorrectly measur e on-scr
een 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 100 kHz tone spacing. The compression point will nominally equal the specification
for tone spacing greater than
5 times the prefilter bandwidth. At smaller spacings, ADC clipping may occur at a
le vel lower than the
1 dB compression point. c. Reference level and off-screen performance: The referenc e level (RL) behavior differs from some earlier analyz- ers in a way that makes this analyzer more flexible. In other analyzers, the RL controlled how the measurement
was pe rformed 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 logarith- mic 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 mea- surement 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 att enuation setting: When the input attenuation is set to auto, the rules for the determination of th e 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 fidel-
ity) and small signal effects (noise), the measurement results can change with RL changes when the input atten-

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 functions: a rectangle of width equal to Ref BW and the power

often based on defined bandwidths of measuring receivers, and these are defined by their

dynamic range, and assuming that the analyzer and UUT distortions are incoherent. When the errors from the
UUT and the analyzer are incoherent, 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

analysis equipment, but this incoherent addition model is rarely justified. This derived accuracy specification is

3GPP requires the use of a root-raised-cosine filter in evaluating the ACLR of a device. The accuracy of the

dynamic range depends on the measurement settings, such as peak power or integrated power. Dynamic range
specifications are based on default measurement settings, with detector set to average, and depend on the
mixer level. Default measurement settings include
