Solutions for the Production ATE
Environment
The Agilent E5500 A-series of phase
noise measurement solutions are tai-
lored to meet the demanding needs of
production ATE. This series provides
key features allowing:
• Quick and easy integration
into existing ATE systems
• “Just-enough” configuration
flexibility
• The lowest overall cost of
measurement
This series consists of a low noise MMS
baseband test set, a VXI digitizer with
a high speed VXI-to-PC data interface
for baseband signal measurement,
and measurement software.
The MMS baseband test set provides
all of the phase detectors, amplifiers,
filters, switches, and attenuators nec-
essary to measure phase noise over
the IF, RF, and microwave frequency
ranges directly.
The VXI digitizer samples the base-
band noise signal and sends the digi-
tized data to the measurement soft-
ware for fast digital signal processing.
The measurement software provides
all of the operator interaction, meas-
urement coordination, calibration,
data signal processing, and data
results. The remote (SCPI) Standard
Commands Programmable
Instruments programming interface
client provides quick and easy inte-
gration into new and existing produc-
tion test environments.
Selecting the Right Amount of Test
Capability
The Agilent E5500 A-series come
standard with the capability to meas-
ure from 0.01 Hz to 4 MHz of offset
range directly. They can optionally
measure 0.01 Hz to 8 MHz or 0.01 Hz
to 10 MHz directly and expanded to
include the capability to measure off-
set ranges to 100 MHz and beyond.
The Agilent E5502/03/04A solutions
include a low noise, MMS down-con-
verter optimized for their respective
frequency ranges. For example, the
6-GHz and 18-GHz down-converters
have a minimum input frequency of
1 GHz allowing you to select an RF
reference source with a maximum
output frequency of 1 GHz. This opti-
mization helps reduce the total, over-
all solution costs for phase noise
measurements.
The addition of low-noise RF refer-
ence sources and microwave down-
converters provide a complete phase-
noise measurement solution for a
wide range of IF, RF, microwave, and
millimeter frequency oscillators.
