Agilent 70911A Configuration Guide

The Agilent Technologies 70911A ultra-wide bandwidth IF module adds receiver functionality to certain 70000 series spectrum analyzers. Designed specifically to work with the 71209A option 001 analyzer, it adds receive bandwidths of 10 MHz to 100 MHz in 10% increments. When the 70911A is added to the 71209A option 001, the combination consti­tutes the 71910A wide-bandwidth surveillance receiver.
The 71910A receiver monitors signals from 100 Hz to 26.5 GHz. It provides a cost effective combination of search and wide-bandwidth collection capa­bilities for surveillance and signal monitoring applications. Its flexibility makes it an ideal downconverter in stimulus-response applications.
To search for signals, it sweeps over user-specified spans up to 26.5 GHz wide using bandwidths up to 3 MHz. A wide dynamic range ensures sig­nals of various amplitudes are quickly identified. Once a signal is located, the receiver is fixed-tuned and the wide IF bandwidths are used for signal collection. (Bandwidths up to 36 MHz are available with microwave preselection, and up to 100 MHz unpreselected). A linear IF signal path provides good signal fidelity with standard outputs of 321.4 MHz IF and linear video. Optional outputs include 70 and 140 MHz IF, analog I/Q, and demodulated FM.

Ordering Information
70911A Ultra-Wide Bandwidth IF Module
Important: Options 001 through 007 are circuit boards. There are only four
circuit board slots available. Option 004 consists of two circuit boards. When ordering, be certain the total number of circuit boards does not exceed four.
Option 001 70 MHz IF output (one board) Option 002 140 MHz IF output (one board) Option 004 Analog I/Q output (two boards) Option 005 FM output (one board) Option 007 70 MHz IF channel filters (one board) requires Option 001
Option 098 LO firmware upgrade, CPU board upgrade, and 1 Mbyte RAM Option 099 LO firmware upgrade and 1 Mbyte RAM Option 0B1 Extra user manual set Option 0B3 Service manual and module verification software Option W30 Three-year customer return repair Option 8ZE Refurbished 70911A
Upgrade Information
Existing 71209A systems with Option 001 (70910A RF Section) may be upgrad­ed to the 71910A by ordering 70911A with Option 098 or 099 (required). Existing 71209A systems without option 001 may add the 70911A, but the maximum bandwidth will be reduced in microwave bands.
Agilent 70911A Option 098 LO firmware upgrade, CPU board upgrade, and 1 Mbyte RAM (for
systems having 68000 CPU)
Option 099 LO firmware upgrade and 1 MByte RAM (for systems having 68020
CPU)
For a 71209A to be compatible with the 70911A, the LO module must have firmware
1
with date code 940120 (B.05.00), a 68020 CPU,2and 1 Mbyte RAM
3
(for the receiver personality).
In addition, the 70001A mainframe must have an air flow (cooling) modifica­tion when operating with the 70911A (only if it includes one or more option cards).
4
An 71910A system shipped from the factory includes an 70910A RF Section with firmware that has been modified for moderately faster tuning. It is not necessary to upgrade existing 70910A units.
