Single acquisition combined measurements The N9071A-XFP single acquisition combined GSM/EDGE measure - ment application is for high-speed manufacturing of GSM/EDGE mobile phone transmitters, wireless com - ponents, such as power amplifiers, and low-cost pico/femtocell base stations. Used with the MXA and EXA signal analyzers, it provides up to 20 times speed improvement compared to traditional one-button measure - ments for list power step, phase and frequency error (PFER), EDGE EVM, PvT, ORFS, marker measurements, and harmonics. Single Acquisition Contains one continuous block of captured data collected using predefined capture settings. The capture period can be defined by test engineers to suit the requirements for specific device tests, for example, the number of GSM bursts required to provide the engineer with enough data to ensure a good measurement on the DUT. Combined Measurements Implies that the measurement sequence performed by the analyzer can accommodate any mix of transmitter power measurements and modulation quality measurements performed on the data collected within the capture period. 07 | Keysight | GSM/EDGE/EVO X-Series Measurement Application N9071A & W9071A – Technical Overview

– Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product war - ranty. – 95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the population (≈2σ) of performance tolerances expected to be met in 95% of cases with a 95% confidence. These values are not covered by the product warranty. – Typical values are designated with the abbreviation "typ." These are performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with a 95% confi - dence. These values are not cov - ered by the product warranty. – Nominal values are designated with the abbreviation "nom." These values indicate expected performance, or describe prod - uct performance that is useful in the application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.
