The software also includes one hardware connectivity option to control the VXI hardware, one 3G modulation analysis option bundle (equivalent to Options B7T, B7U, B7W, B7X), two links to ADS, and three WLAN modulation analysis options. The customer will load the software on several PCs with the help of an easy to follow installation wizard. Twelve months of software support for the three floating licenses round out the configuration. The basic information is: three-year warranty with no calibration.

Prior to operation the customer will install the PCI IEEE 1394 FireWire interface supplied with this system in the PC designated to control the VXI hardware. The customer will also install the license on a network server, using the installation instructions provided.

User-Supplied PC Requirements

The 89600 Series VSAs offer a variety of software licenses. Depending on your need, you can select a floating license, a node-locked license, or a 12-month limited term floating license.

The floating license version of the 89600 software puts the "license-to-use" on your network rather than on a PC. Start by loading the software on as many networked PCs as you like. To use the software, you simply start the application. If a floating license is available, you application will acquire the license and then being running. When you exit the application, the floating license will be returned to the license server and become available for use by a network user. The license is permanently valid.

The 89600 VSA software floating license products (89601AN, 89601N12, 89604AN) require loading a vendor daemon on a license server. This server may be the same PC running the client software (89600 VSA software). Full installation instructions and support are provided for compatible operating systems. Compatible server operating systems include: Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Server 2003. For Agilent EEsof ADS customers utilizing floating licenses, a SUN™ Solaris-compatible vendor daemon is also available.

The 12-month limited term license offers the benefits of the permanent floating license, at a significant price savings, with a license that expires in 12 months.

If a network is not available, or sharing is not desired, the 89600 software offers node-locked licensing that permanently locks the software to a specific piece of hardware: typically a PC. Whether in the office, or away, your software will always be licensed to run.

The software update subscription service helps you get the most out of your vector signal analyzer investment by keeping your 89600 Series VSA current with new enhancements. This product provides automatic notification and shipment of new software upgrades as soon as they become available. Purchase the length of coverage that best meets your needs. Coverage is available for as short as 12 months or as long as 24 months, in monthly increments. Twelve months of coverage is provided as a standard part of every 89600 VSA Series system ordered with a node-locked or 12-month limited-term license.

The 89601ASN software update service provides software subscription service for a 89601AN floating license. Coverage is available from 2 to 24 months in monthly increments.

For more information, go to www.agilent.com/find/89600 and click on “Software update subscription service”.

Question 1:

Which system configuration do you want?

Select the configuration you want: Agilent 89641, 89640, 89611, or 89610. All of the configurations come with the same application software but offer different hardware capabilities. The following summarizes those capabilities.

89641 6.0 GHz RF vector signal analyzer This configuration offers one RF channel that includes a baseband/IF input. A second baseband/IF input and a second RF input can be added to this configuration. The baseband/IF channels operate over DC to 36 MHz and 52 to 88 MHz frequency ranges with 36 MHz of analysis bandwidth. They are designed to work with baseband I/Q signals. The RF channel’s frequency range is 18 MHz to 6.0 GHz also with 36 MHz maximum analysis bandwidth. A single RF channel configuration will fit in a four-slot mainframe. A two RF channel system requires a 13-slot mainframe. (See question 4, in this section.)

89640 2.7 GHz RF vector signal analyzer This configuration offers one RF channel that includes a baseband/IF input. A second baseband/IF input and a second RF input can be added to this configuration. The baseband/IF channels operate over DC to 36 MHz and 52 to 88 MHz frequency ranges with 36 MHz of analysis bandwidth. They are designed to work with baseband I/Q signals. The RF channel’s frequency range is 18 MHz to 2.7 GHz and offer a 36 MHz maximum analysis bandwidth. A single RF channel configuration will fit in a four-slot mainframe. A two RF channel system requires a 13-slot mainframe. (See question 4, in this section.)

89611 70 MHz IF vector signal analyzer This configuration offers one or two baseband/IF channels. These IF channels operate over DC to 36 MHz and 52 to 88 MHz frequency ranges. They are designed to work with baseband I/Q signals and with tuners that have 70 MHz center frequency IFs. Their maximum analysis bandwidth is 36 MHz. A single channel 89611 fits in a four-slot mainframe, a two channel configuration requires at least a six-slot mainframe.

89610 baseband vector signal analyzer This configuration offers one or two baseband only channels. Each channel has a frequency range of DC to 40 MHz with a 39 MHz maximum analysis bandwidth. Two channels are required to measure I/Q signaling. This is the only configuration that can fit two channels in a single four-slot mainframe.

Question 2:

What time capture memory do you want for the system?

The 89600 VSAs offer three sizes of signal capture memory: 144 MB (46 MSa,complex), 288 MB (92 MSa,complex), 1.2 GB (384 MSa, complex). The standard memory is 144 MB; the other sizes are optional. The memory resides in the input channels. Each channel must have memory and the memory size in each channel must match. If no selection is made each channel will have 144 MB installed.

A channel sampling at maximum analysis bandwidth (36 MHz) will take about 8 seconds to fill the 1.2 GB memory, about 2 seconds to fill the 288 MB memory, and about 800 ms to fill the 144 MB memory.

Each channel uses decimating filters. Therefore, each factor of two reduction in the span will double the time capture storage time.

Question 3:

Do you want Z540 ANSI standard calibration data or commercial calibration data?

This item is different from the calibration items contained in the basic information questions. All 89600 vector signal analysis systems are calibrated before they leave the factory. This calibration is included in the price of the system and is required to achieve the performance specifications in the data sheet. Check “commercial calibration with data,” if your calibration department requires documentation for the calibration performed on the system. This supplies a calibration certificate and the data from the factory calibration of your system. Check “Z540 ANSI” to have your system calibrated using ANSI Z540 procedures and to receive Z540 compliant documentation.

Question 4:

What mainframe would you like?

The 89600 VSA works in three different VXI mainframes sizes: 4-slot, 6-slot, and 13-slot. The table below shows the mainframe recommended for each 89600 VSA configuration. You can select a mainframe with more slots than the recommendation but you cannot select a mainframe with fewer slots.

Configuration Channels Recommended M/F 89610 1BB 4-slot

2BB 4-slot

89611 1BB/IF 4-slot

2BB/IF 6-slot

89640 1RF 4-slot

1RF, 2BB/IF 6-slot 2RF 13-slot

89641 1RF 4-slot

1RF, 2BB/IF 6-slot 2RF 13-slot

The mainframe you select will be configured to include all features needed to support full 89600 VSA system operation. The exact configuration is listed in the “Consists of” column.

Question 5:

What kind of PC are you planning on using with the system?

The application and control software for the 89600 Series vector signal analyzers runs on a PC and is connected to the VXI system via an IEEE1394 (FireWire) interface. You can use your own PC as long as it meets the requirements outlined in the “User-supplied PC requirements” section of this guide.

Selecting “User-supplied desktop PC” will provide a FireWire-VXI interface module, plus a PCI-based FireWire interface card and a cable to go in your desktop.

Selecting “User-supplied laptop PC” will provide a FireWire-VXI interface module and a FireWire cable (see the FAQ’s listed in the key library information at www.agilent.com/find/89600 for a list of approved laptop FireWire I/O cards).

Selecting “Agilent-supplied laptop PC” will provide a laptop configured to operate with a VXI system pre-loaded with the 89600 Series VSA software and a FireWire interface. Contact your local Agilent sales representative for more information or search for LTPC1 laptop PC on the Agilent Web site (www.agilent.com).

Question 6:

What kind of software licensing would you like?

The 89600 Series VSAs offer three types of software licenses: node-locked, floating, and 12-month limited-term floating license for one user.

A node-locked license attaches the software license to a specific piece of hardware, typically the PC it is running on, and the license is permanently valid. This type of license is the simplest to install. It is recommended for applications where the software will be operated away from the network or where it will be shared only by moving the PC and VXI hardware with it.

A floating license resides on a secure network server. It is permanently valid. The software may be loaded on any number of PCs. To use the software the user merely starts the application. As long as a valid floating license is available on the network, the application will run. Only one PC at a time may use the floating license. This type of licensing is more complex to install. It is recommended for applications requiring the software be shared among several users, perhaps for analyzing time capture files where no measurement hardware is needed, or with several of the list of hardware front-ends supported by the software or with the Agilent Advanced Design System simulators.

The 12-month limited-term floating license for one user offers networked-locked software at a lower price than the floating license but with restrictions:

1. The term of the license is limited to 12 months, after which the software is disabled.

License renewals are available.

2. The software’s configuration is fixed; all options are included in the package as is

software update subscription service for the duration of the term.

The 12-month limited-term floating license includes access to all current options available at the time of order, so there are no software option selections.

Question 7:

Which software options do you want?

Basic VSA software (no hardware connectivity) Provides the basic signal analysis tool set, operator interface, displays, and file management, required to perform basic vector signal analysis. This option is required.

Hardware connectivity Provides the I/O libraries needed to connect to and control the hardware front-ends compatible with the 89600 Series VSA software. These front-ends include the Agilent PSA and ESA spectrum analyzers, the 54830 and 54850 Series Infiniium oscilloscopes, the 89600 Series VXI-based vector signal analysis systems, and Agilent’s ESG and PSG signal generators.

Basic information

Select warranty

The one-year warranty covers parts and labor and is included in the price of the system. A three-year warranty is available for an additional charge. All warranties require the equipment to be returned to Agilent for the repair.

What type of calibration would you like?

Extended calibration plans, called Upfront Calibration plans, are available for 3 years of coverage. They provide the recommended number of calibrations for your 89600 series VSA over the selected term. They also provide for calibration in the event of a repair.

All 89600 Series VSAs are calibrated at the factory before they are shipped.Their calibration interval is two years. We offer calibration plans for our customers who want Agilent to help them maintain the calibration in the future.

Agilent calibration upfront plan (three years):

Our most popular service, this plan provides significant savings over per-incident services. With this service, instruments found to be out-of-specification will be adjusted and returned to you in specification with one data report. The report will show the performance of the instrument as it was returned to you. The service also provides for an Agilent calibration certificate, label and seals, and full data report.

Z540 calibration upfront plan (three years): This plan meets or exceeds Z540 standards. With this service, instruments found to be out of specification will be adjusted and returned to you in specification with two data reports showing the

• performance of the instrument as it was received, providing you with measurement

performance history; and

• performance as it was returned to you for ongoing confidence

The test report will also include a measurement adequacy addendum if the test accuracy ratio is less than 4:1. An ANSI/NCSL Z540 compliant calibration certificate, label, and seals are also included with this service.

Any VSA system, with version 3.001software or above, can control certain Agilent Series signal generators. This control expands the usefulness of the VSA for stimulus/response measurements. The VSA controls the signal type, frequency, and level features of the signal generator and downloads files to the signal generator modulation source to simulate a wide range of digitally modulated signals. The files can be 89600 signal captures or even simulated waveforms from ADS design software.

Playback requires that the arbitrary waveform generator be installed in the signal generator. Signal playback bandwidth is limited by the bandwidth of the arbitrary waveform generator.

The signal generator can be controlled via GPIB or LAN.

See the figures on the next page for typical connections.
