HP 8590 E-Series User Manual

Link Measurement Personality
Fbr use with the HP 85933, HP 8594E, HP 85953, and HP 8596E only. The spectrum analyzer
must be configured with options 010 and 111. The HP 11770A Link Measurement Personality is
a downloadable program on a memory card. It provides a way to adapt your spectrum analyzer
for making end-to-end and loop back measurements of group delay and amplitude flatness.
These are important test requirements for digital microwave radio, satellite, cable, and other
systems.
NADC-TDMA Measurements Personality
Fbr use with HP 8590 E-Series spectrum analyzers. The HP 85718B NADC-TDMA
measurements personality provides the capability for the spectrum analyzer to make 9
transmitter RF tests and 7 transmitter modulation accuracy tests based on IS-54, IS-55, IS-56,
IS-136, IS-137, and IS-138 standards. The HP 85913 is compatible with HP 85718B if no
modulation accuracy tests are needed. (See Option 050 in this chapter.)
Noise Figure Measurements Personality
Fbr use with HP 8590 E-Series spectrum analyzers with Option 119. The HP 85719A
noise-figure measurement personality along with the HP 8590 E-Series spectrum analyzer
provide displayed swept noise-figure and gain measurements form 10 MHz to 2.9 GHz. Features
include one-point measurement capability for quick results, noise-figure and spectrum analyzer
mode-switching for stray signal detection, selectable measurement bandwidths to directly
measure narrowband devices, and a repeatability calculator to determine measurement time
and repeatability.
PDC Measurements Personality
l%r use with HP 85933, HP 8594E, HP 85953, and HP 8596E spectrum analyzers. The
HP 85720C PDC measurements personality simplifies testing of personal digital cellular (PDC)
transmitters by providing power, frequency, timing, spurious emission, and modulation
accuracy measurements based on RCR STD-27C. The HP 85913 is compatible with HP 8572OC
if no modulation accuracy tests are needed. (See Option 051 in this chapter.)
PHS Measurements Personality
For use with HP 8593E, HP 8594E, HP 85953, and HP 8596E spectrum analyzers. The
HP 85726B PHS measurements personality simplifies testing of personal handy phone system
transmitters by providing power, frequency, timing, spurious emission, and modulation
accuracy measurements based on RCR STD-28. (See Option 052 in this chapter.)
Scalar Measurements Personality
Fbr use with the HP 85901, HP 8591E, HP 8593E, HP 8594E, HP 85953, or HP 85963 with
tracking generator Option 010. The HP 85901, must have Q&ion 003. The HP 85714A scalar
measurements personality uses the optional built-in tracking generator to make scalar network
analysis measurements with your spectrum analyzer. The scalar measurements personality is a
downloadable program on a memory card. It provides for high dynamic range measurements
and can make simultaneous transmission and reflection measurements using the HP 85630A
transmission/reflection test set. Marker measurements of frequency, power, return loss, VSWR,
and reflection/transmission coefficients are quick and easy. The scalar measurement personality
also includes simple one-button measurements for 3 dB or 6 dB bandwidth, Q factor, shape
factor, and insertion loss/gain.
