Power
9 kHz to 26.5 GHz[1]
The Agilent 8563E has a standard frequency range of 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz, preselected from 2.75 GHz to 26.5 GHz, with optional low-end frequency coverage to 30 Hz. The analyzer supports continuous 30 Hz to 26.5 GHz sweep. The instrument offers fast digital resolution bandwidths of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 Hz.[1]
The analyzer uses digitally implemented resolution bandwidths of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 Hz that sweep from 3 to 600 times faster than possible with comparable analog filters. A narrow 5:1 shape factor allows viewing of close-in, low-level signals easily. Digital bandwidths provide the spectrum analyzer with a full 100 dB onscreen calibrated display.[4]
The instrument includes a YTO (YIG-tuned oscillator) as its first local oscillator. The 8563E is presetected from 2.75 GHz to 26.5 GHz using a YIG-tuned filter/mixer (RYTHM) assembly. The 8563E has a LO distribution amplifier adjustment and a frequency response adjustment specific to this model.[2]
The 8563E is applied to adjacent-channel power (ACP) testing of burst carrier signals using digital modulation such as used in NADC-TDMA, GSM, DECT, CT2-CAI, PDC, and PHP systems. Adjacent channel power, channel power, carrier power, occupied bandwidth percentage, and time-gated measurements are standard. Measurement personalities for digital radio and phase noise measurements are available.[4][1]
Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.
The service guide supplement is printed in October 1999.
