33 This product note describes the characteristics, setup, and operation of a broadband vector signal analyzer (VSA) comprised of an Agilent Acqiris U1066A (DC440, DC438) or U1065A (DC282, DC252, DC222) high-speed digitizer and the 89600 vector signal analyzer software. By taking advantage of the la...

4 1.1 89600 VSA software The 89600 vector signal analyzer software is the heart of the broadband VSA. This software provides fl exible tools for analyzing and demodulating even the most advanced digital modu-lations, including those not defi ned by an established standard. The VSA makes measurements o...

55 2 Install 89600 VSA Software The 89600 VSA software must be installed on a computer. Installation for standard operation Insert the Agilent Technologies 89600 Series Software CD-ROM in your standard PC and follow the instructions in the installation wizard. When the Installation Manager window op...

User rate mode The user rate setting allows you to directly control the digitizer’s sample rate. In this mode you select the digitizer sample rate to be used. The actual sample rate selected will be the highest rate that is less than or equal to the “user sample rate” setting. By controlling the dig...
Page 10 - Table 5. Varying approaches for alias protection
This table summarizes the difference in approach to alias protection between the various sample modes: Another concern in user rate mode is that you may see unwanted amplitude variability in two channel measurements. This can occur if any part of the mea-surement frequency span falls within the regi...
