Configuration Guide

Overview

This configuration guide contains information to help you configure your RF PA/FEM characterization & test, Reference Solution and tailor the system to meet your requirements.

Hardware

The M9381A PXIe VSG and M9391A or M9393A PXIe VSA are recommended for design validation test. The M9421A PXIe VXT is recommended for production test. For options related to the M9421A, please see section C on page 5.

A. Select Options for M9381A PXIe VSG

B. Select PXI Vector Signal Analyzer (either M9391A or M9393A)

B1. M9391A PXIe VSA

B2. M9393A PXIe Performance VSA

Recommended when harmonics measurements > 6 GHz are required

B2. M9393A PXIe Performance VSA (continued)

C. Select Options for M9421A PXIe Vector Transceiver (VXT)

The M9421A PXIe VXT, recommended for production test, includes a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer in one 4-slot module. The M9381A and M9391A or M9393A are recommended for design validation test (see sections A and B)

Required to meet data sheet specifications for M9381A, M9391A, M9393A and M9421A

E. Select PXI Vector Network Analyzer

For S-parameter measurements of general PA/FEMs, the M937xA PXIe Vector Network Analyzer is recommended. For PA/FEMs that require very wide dynamic range for measuring high-rejection filters, the M9485A Multiport Vector Network Analyzer is recommended. Refer to the M9485A Configuration Guide for more details (5992-0758EN).

F. Select Hardware for Envelope Tracking and DUT Control

G. Select Controller (either PXI embedded controller or external PC controller)

G1. For PXI embedded controller, select either M9036A or M9037A

G. Select Controller (either PXI embedded controller or external PC controller)

G2. For external PC controller, select options for laptop or desktop PC, below

H. Select a Chassis and Accessories

I. Select Digital Stimulus/Response Module Accessories

J. Measurement Accessories               

A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories is available at: www.keysight.com/find/mta.

Accessories are available in these connector types: 50 ohm Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, and waveguide. Test port cables and a calibration kit should be added for a complete measurement system. A verification kit is used to verify corrected system performance.

Refer to 5990-7745EN for a complete list of measurement accessories.

Software

K. Select Software for M9381A PXIe VSG or M9421A PXIe VXT

M. Select Software for M937xA PXIe VNA

Services

N. Select Services: Calibration, Start-up Assistance

One day start-up assistance

A Keysight Technologies applications engineer will get you started quickly by helping you install the modules in a chassis, configure the controller, load software and start making measurements.

Calibration services

The modular products are factory calibrated and shipped with an ISO-9002, NIST-traceable calibration certificate. A one year calibration cycle is recommended. The M9381A PXIe VSG, M9391A/93A PXIe VSAs and M937XA PXIe VNA, are supported by the Keysight N7800A Calibration Software to perform calibrations that test all product specifications and is compliant with ISO 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 and Measurement Uncertainty per ISO Guide to Expression of Measurement Uncertainty 1995.

N7800A calibration & adjustment software

The M9381A PXIe VSG, M9391A /93A PXIe VSAs and M937XA PXIe VNA are supported by Keysight's calibration and adjustment software. This is the same software used at Keysight's service centers to automate calibration. The software offers compliance tests for ISO 17025:2005,

ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006, and measurement uncertainty per ISO Guide to Expression of Measurement Uncertainty.
