FAQ 2012-05-29

How do a take a sweep with both the Quasi-Peak and EMI Average detector at the same time with an MXE EMI Receiver?
Switch to EMI Receiver mode...

FAQ 2012-05-10

What is the fastest pulse risetime that I can measure with my spectrum analyzer in zero span?
The measurement risetime may not be faster that the best risetime of the spectrum analyzer

FAQ 2012-03-02

How can I make field strength measurements on my handheld spectrum analyzer?
Each of the HSA products supports field strength measurements.

FAQ 2012-03-02

Can or will the N9081A and W9081A support Bluetooth® 4.0?
Yes, the N9081A and W9081A support the low energy measurements enabled by Bluetooth 4.

FAQ 2012-03-02

How do I transfer the time capture buffer data from my 89441A or 89410A VSA to a PC?
There are several ways to transfer the data in the time capture buffer after a recording has been made. The easiest way is to use FTP over LAN, but there are other programmatic ways too.

FAQ 2012-03-02

How can I measure the Channel Power of my signal on a PSA or ESA with the Max Hold function on?
The Band Power marker function may be used to make this measurement.

FAQ 2012-02-28

Why do spurious signals appear in my spectrum analyzer span when I apply a clean signal to the RF input?
Overdriving the input mixer of the analyzer may cause the spurs.

FAQ 2012-02-26

What is the frequency range of the N5532A Sensor Module?
100 kHz to 4.2 GHz, 10 MHz to 18 GHz, 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz, and 30 MHz to 50 GHz.

FAQ 2012-02-26

Can a high-impedance probe be connected to the 89600S vector signal analyzer (VSA) in the same way as the 89410A VSA?
Instructions for 89400/89600 series Vector Signal Analyzer setup when using high impedance probes.

FAQ 2012-02-25

How does the 89400 series vector signal analyzer (VSA) lock to the symbols when it demodulates a vector-modulated signal?
There is no coherent carrier or symbol clock timing signal required for demodulation. The actual demodulation algorithm is proprietary, but...

FAQ 2012-02-25

What is the relationship between the Error Vector Magnitude and the Signal to Noise Ratio for a 64-QAM signal?
EVM is a voltage ratio of the error signal to the peak state voltage and SNR is a ratio of the signal power to the error power. The equation relating them is...

FAQ 2012-02-25

Why is the peak power for Transmit Analysis 3.78 dBm, but with Zero span it is 3.66 dBm?
It is measured in the IQ domain, not in power domain, so there is no VBW function. The most important factor is the bucket width.

FAQ 2011-11-12

Can the Agilent X-Series signal analyzer with N9081A Bluetooth® measurement application measure Bluetooth hopping signals?
The short answer for this question is “no”. Fundamentally, frequency hopping is needed for testing the functional capability of the Bluetooth device.

FAQ 2011-11-12

Why does the Bluetooth® ACP measurement take 15 minutes to complete?
The time needed for the ACP measurement is due to the requirements of the Bluetooth-test specification.

FAQ 2011-11-12

How can I make NI LabVIEW communicate with my 82357A USB/GPIB Interface?
Install the IO libraries Suite and configure the 82357A. There may be other configuration steps if you install NI-VISA.

FAQ 2010-08-30

How do I monitor signals that is being generated by U8903A that does not have a monitor output port?
To view the waveform, you can change to Graph for time domain...

FAQ 2010-02-01

My InfiniiMax probe fails calibration or does not accurately pick up the cal signal when I use the E2655A test fixture. What could be wrong?
The first step in troubleshooting a failed probe calibration should be to compare the actual signal and the probed signal. If the probed signal does not track the actual signal well, it is most likely due to a poor connection.

FAQ 2010-01-10

How do I put an Infiniium oscilloscope into XY mode?
All Infiniium models have a math function called "versus", which plots one channel or function versus another channel or function.

FAQ 2009-02-06

Is it possible to get an error log of incorrectly sent remote commands to my PSA, E4406A, EMC, or ESA Series Spectrum Analyzer?
Yes. PSA, E4406A and the ESA Series (with firmware A.08.00 and later) support this. You may turn Verbose error logging on through the front panel or remotely, SYST:ERR:VERBOSE ON

FAQ 2008-11-21

Can I adjust the measurement parameters for the Wireless measurement personalities in E4406A and PSA Series?
Yes, you can adjust many test parameters. For example, you can adjust channel bandwidths and frequency offsets for ACPR measurements. However, you cannot adjust the modulation parameters such as data rate, demodulation filter, or modulation type.
