QuickCal is not available on N995xA analyzers. 12 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Cable and Antenna Analyzer Fifty to sixty percent of microwave-link equipment issues are related to cables, antennas and connectors. Degraded feeder lines cause poor coverage, link failures, and reduced sensitivity in the receive path. To maintain the quality of a microwave link, it is critical to keep cable and antenna systems in good working condition. FieldFox is uniquely qualiied to provide all the necessary measurements to troubleshoot and maintain these systems. Insertion loss and cable loss Insertion loss or cable loss characterizes the loss of a jumper cable, feeder cable, diplexer, or gain of a tower-mounted ampliier (TMA). With FieldFox, you can measure both the 1-port cable loss and 2-port insertion loss. Also, FieldFox’s ERTA option, described on page 15, is useful for measuring long, lossy in-situ cables. Return loss/VSWR Return loss (RL) or VSWR is the single most important parameter used to measure and verify a cable and antenna system. This measurement relects the power transfer eficiency of a given system. Distance-to-fault (DTF) and time-domain relectometry (TDR) DTF helps you determine the location of discontinuities in feeder lines. TDR helps you determine the nature of the discontinuities, for example, short, open, or water ingress. With FieldFox, you can make RL and DTF measurements at the same time. This helps you correlate overall system degradation with speciic faults in the cable and antenna system. The built-in cable editor lets you edit existing cable types onsite, and save them as new cable types with user-deined names. View return loss and DTF simulteneously Measure both DTF and TDR in single sweep FieldFox’s TDR complements RL and DTF measurements. TDR measures impedance changes along the cable and helps identify speciic faults, RL exposes mismatch issues, and DTF indicates faults and poor connections. FieldFox is the only handheld instrument that can measure both DTF and TDR in a single sweep. Characterize ilter insertion loss Gain insight into faults with TDR measurements 13 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Cable and Antenna Analyzer (continued) CalReady-calibrated at power on and ready to go Save time and get right to work with FieldFox’s CalReady feature. With CalReady, the analyzer is already calibrated and ready to make measurements such as S11, S22, 1-port cable loss, and DTF/TDR measurements without having to connect and disconnect additional calibration devices. Hassle-free calibration in the ield with QuickCal FieldFox comes with a built-in calibration capability that allows you to calibrate the network analyzer without carrying a cal kit into the ield. With any other test instrument, when you add additional devices to the test port, such as jumper cables or adapters, you need to recalibrate using a cal kit. FieldFox’s QuickCal supports measurements such as insertion loss/gain, 1-port cable loss, return loss, and DTF/TDR. Note: N995xA does not support QuickCal. Broadband calibration FieldFox allows you to make broadband calibrations, which means the instrument is calibrated over the maximum frequency range. After a broadband calibration, you can change the frequency range or number of points without recalibrating the instrument. The calibration is interpolated, and accuracy is maintained. User cal kit support Use FieldFox’s QuickCal capability and perform calibrations without carrying a cal kit For users who wish to use traditional mechanical calibration kits, FieldFox supports most HP/Agilent/Keysight cal kits, and also allows you to deine your own custom calibration kits. Fast and accurate calibration with ECal The FieldFox calibration engine supports Keysight’s USB ECal modules. ECal support reduces calibration time and the need to make multiple connections during testing, while also providing for greater consistency between measurements. For FieldFox users, that translates into fewer human errors and increased accuracy. Perform fast and accurate calibrations using ECal 14 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Spectrum Analyzer In microwave, radar, and satellite communications, and commercial microwave backhaul, you may be responsible not only for hardware installation and maintenance, but also over-the-air signal quality. You may also need to regularly monitor rogue signals and perform signal surveillance. FieldFox’s spectrum analyzer is optimized to excel in a dynamic spectral environment. You may face measurement challenges such as the need to detect a low-level signal under strong signal conditions (requiring high dynamic range), or close-in small interference signals (requiring excellent phase noise). FieldFox’s superior dynamic range (TOI > +15 dBm), close in phase noise (—111 dBc/ Hz at 10 kHz), and fast sweep time make these challenging tasks easier. FieldFox’s spectrum analyzer also provides a full power measurement suite and complete trace and state control. Unprecedented amplitude accuracy without instrument warm-up With FieldFox’s InstAlign capability, internal amplitude alignments occur automatically as environmental conditions change, without any user intervention. This provides unprecedented amplitude accuracy of ± 0.5 dB for spectrum analysis and power measurements. Better yet, FieldFox provides this accuracy immediately upon instrument turn on— no warm-up required. Monitor frequency spectra up to 50 GHz with FieldFox Spectrum analyzer time gating The testing of RF pulses is always challenging because so many instrument settings interact. With Option 238, gated FFT with time gating, FieldFox behaves like a spectrum analyzer and an oscilloscope. This enables you to quickly detect pulses in the time and frequency domains. A gate time of 6 µs to 1.8 s enables simultaneous examination of one or more pulses, or pulse rise and fall times, revealing the effects of spectrum growth due to various pulse shapes. Functions such as video trigger, external trigger and RF burst ensure reliable pulse detection. Automatic trigger-delay and bandwidth settings enhance characterization of RF pulses. Analyze pulsed RF signals using the time-gating option 15 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Spectrum Analyzer (continued) IF signal output Independent signal source FieldFox provides a spectrum analyzer IF output with 25 MHz bandwidth. This enables use as a frequency downconverter and supports wideband signal analysis. FieldFox has a built-in independent signal source, with a frequency range of up to 50 GHz. The signal source can be tuned to any frequency, independent of the spectrum analyzer frequency. You can use the signal source to create a test signal to measure coverage, antenna isolation, antenna direction alignment, and shielding effectiveness, and to verify frequency-offset devices. Field strength measurements To characterize the electric and magnetic ields, the gain and loss of the antenna and cables must be accounted for. With FieldFox, you can load antenna factors and cable loss data using either the front panel or the complimentary Data Link software. Interference analyzer Interference can be internal or external, uplink or downlink, and has a direct impact on the quality of service (QoS) of a communication network. FieldFox’s interference analyzer is designed to identify interfering signals quickly. Spectrogram and waterfall displays detect intermittent signals or monitor signals over a period of time. You can record signal traces into internal memory or external lash memory devices, and play back the saved traces for ofline processing. It has excellent dynamic range with very fast sweep times under narrow resolution bandwidths (RBWs). Use the internal microwave signal source for transponder testing Extended range transmission analysis (ERTA) Measuring long in situ microwave cables such as those on ships is a challenging task, and requires instruments with high dynamic range and fast measurement speed. These measurements were traditionally done using benchtop scalar analyzers, which are cumbersome to operate in the ield. Using FieldFox’s ERTA, you can measure dynamic ranges of 108 dB (at 6 GHz) or 77 dB (at 26.5 GHz) with a portable analyzer that requires no calibration and no warm-up. ERTA uses two FieldFoxes, one deployed at each end of the cable. One FieldFox acts as a source, while the other acts as a receiver. By taking advantage of Keysight’s proprietary InstAlign technique, this coniguration can be used to make cable loss measurements with accuracy of ± 0.7 dB. Simplify interference hunting with the waterfall display Measure long, lossy cables using ERTA 16 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Vector Network Analyzer FieldFox can be conigured with VNA transmission/relection (T/R) capability for S11 and S21 measurements, or with full 2-port capability for measurements of all four S-parameters and full 2-port calibration. With a full 2-port network analyzer, you can measure the forward and reverse characteristics of your component without having to disconnect, turn around, and reconnect it to the analyzer. Additionally, the full 2-port calibration gives you the best measurement accuracy possible. Calibration FieldFox’s guided Cal Wizard takes guessing out of calibration and allows you to easily perform the following calibrations: – Full 2-port unknown thru – Full 2-port QSOLT – OSL, response, enhanced response – TRL, LRL, offset short Simultaneously measure and view all four S-parameters, with a single connection FieldFox’s four independent, sensitive receivers provide 94 dB of dynamic range for measurement of high rejection, narrowband devices such as cavity ilters. The receivers also enable full 2-port error correction with the unknown thru method, allowing users to measure non-insertable devices accurately and easily. FieldFox’s calibration engine is the same engine that powers the well-respected Keysight ENA and PNA network analyzers. FieldFox leverages Keysight microwave expertise to deliver consistent measurements with Keysight benchtop VNAs. Use the marker bandwidth/Q factor function to simplify ilter testing and tuning 17 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Vector Network Analyzer (continued) Network analyzer time domain Vector voltmeter With the time-domain option, FieldFox computes the inverse Fourier transform of the frequency-domain data to display relection or transmission coeicients versus time. Time-domain gating can be used to remove unwanted responses such as connector mismatch or cable discontinuities, and the results can be displayed in either time or frequency domain. Using FieldFox’s vector voltmeter (VVM), you can measure the phase shift and electrical length of a device. You can view results on the large display as far as ten feet or three meters away. VVM also provides ratio measurements of magnitude and phase of two channels, A/B or B/A. You can use this capability to verify the magnitude and phase differences between multiple signal paths such as in an antenna or phased array. Waveguide support Waveguides are widely used to provide transmission links between microwave transmitters and antennas, as waveguides have less loss than coax. Keysight offers both high-performance and also economical waveguide calibration kits. The economical kits are ideal for ield maintenance and troubleshooting because they provide good measurement results at a lower cost. Easily use waveguides with FieldFox FieldFox offers all the key functionalities of the HP 8508A in a handheld form factor, and without the need for the source, bridge and accessories required with the 8508A. Mixed-mode S-parameters With FieldFox, you can measure the common- and differential-mode relections of a device. Mixed-mode S-parameters are also known as balanced measurements. This measurement requires the full 2-port VNA and 2-port cal functionality. Simplify cable trimming with the vector voltmeter capability Characterized common and differential mode relections with mixed-mode S-parameter measurements 18 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview USB power measurements USB power sensor support Pulse measurements FieldFox can connect with Keysight USB power sensors to make microwave power measurements. Using USB peak power sensors, you can measure both the average and the peak power of a modulated signal. FieldFox’s pulse measurement option allows you to eficiently characterize pulsed RF signals such as those used in radar and electronic warfare systems, leveraging the Keysight USB peak power sensors. Measurements include peak power, peak to average ratio, and pulse proile parameters such as rise time, fall time and pulse repetition frequency. USB power measurements versus frequency Simplify power measurements with USB power sensors In addition to power measurements at a single CW frequency, you can measure power versus frequency - a swept measurement. FieldFox’s source frequency can be set equal to the sensor/receiver frequency, or with an offset. The frequency of both the source and receiver are swept, and the two track each other. The offset frequency can be negative, zero, or positive. This capability is useful for characterization of the scalar transmission response of devices such as mixers and converters. The FieldFox source stimulates the DUT and the power sensor is used as the measurement receiver. Characterize mixers with FieldFox and a USB power sensor Use FieldFox to characterize pulses 19 | Keysight | FieldFox Handheld Analyzers – Technical Overview Software and System Features Remote control capability with iPad and iPhone Engineers and technicians can now remotely monitor and control their FieldFox using their iOS device such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. FieldFox’s Remote Viewer iOS app emulates the front panel of the unit, letting you simply press any FieldFox key right from your iOS device. The app also allows you to instantly access technical documents such as data sheets. FieldFox’s Data Link software makes report generation and documentation easier FieldFox’s complimentary Data Link software provides data transfer, data deinition and report generation. You can add markers and limit lines to traces, and you can load cable iles and antenna factors using Data Link. Remote control via LAN and FieldFox programming Built-in variable voltage DC bias FieldFox has a built-in variable voltage DC bias source. The DC bias source can provide DC power to ampliiers under test and bias tower mounted ampliiers (TMA) when you need to sweep through the TMA to reach the antenna (bias tees available separately). Built-in GPS Control and view your FieldFox via your iPad A built-in GPS receiver provides geo-location tags to measurements. The geo data—time, latitude, longitude, and elevation—can be displayed and saved in data iles. In addition to location information, the GPS provides an external reference to improve FieldFox frequency accuracy. USB keyboard and mouse support Obtain geolocation data with the built-in GPS capability FieldFox supports use of USB keyboards and mice to simplify the input of text such as ile names while working in the ield.
