Recommended best practices in use
Technical Specifications and
Characteristics
– Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module
slots to ensure proper operating temperatures. Keysight
chassis and slot blockers optimize module temperature
performance and reliability of test.
Definitions for specifications
Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as
follows:
– Set chassis fan to high at environmental temperatures
above 45 °C.
– Full temperature range = Individual module temperature
of 15 to 75 °C, as reported by the module, and
environment temperature of 0 to 55 °C.
Conversion type operating range

Auto
Frequency range
– Controlled temperature range = Individual module
temperature of 36 to 50 °C, as reported by the module,
and environment temperature of 20 to 30 °C.
All frequencies

Specifications describe the warranted performance of
calibrated instruments. Data represented in this document
are specifications under the following conditions unless
otherwise noted.
Single low
Additional information
– Mixer level offset modifies the receiver gain prior to the
first mixer of the receiver. A negative setting improves
distortion (i.e., TOI) at the cost of noise performance
(i.e., DANL). A positive setting improves noise
performance at the cost of distortion.
– Calibrated instruments have been stored for a minimum
of 2 hours within the full temperature range
– 30 minute warm-up time
– Calibration cycle maintained
– The PeakToAverage property is used with expected
RF Power property to optimize level settings in the
Downconverter. Set this to the ratio, in dB, of the peak
power to the average power. The Downconverter uses
this value to optimize mixer level, IF gain, and ADC
clip level.
– When used with Keysight M9300A frequency reference
and Keysight interconnect cables
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful
in the application of the product, but that is not covered by
the product warranty. Characteristics are often referred to
as Typical or Nominal values and are italicized.
– IF Level Offset (dB) provides additional adjustment of
IF power level. Positive values reduce noise. Negative
values reduce distortion.
– Typical describes characteristic performance, which
80% of instruments will meet when operated within the
controlled temperature range.
– Digitizer Level Offset (dB) provides additional adjustment
of Downconverter IF power to the digitizer. Positive values
increase power to the digitizer. Negative values decrease
power to the digitizer.
– Nominal describes representative performance that is
useful in the application of the product when operated
within the controlled temperature range.
– All graphs contain measured data from one unit and
are representative of product performance within the
controlled temperature range unless otherwise noted.
– 95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the
population (approx. 2 s of performance tolerances
expected to be met in 95 percent of the cases with a
95 percent 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.
– Default conditions apply, unless otherwise noted.
– The specifications contained in this document are
subject to change.
