Note: A/B and B/A measurements require an external source
9. What are the requirements for
Option 209?
Extended Range Transmission Analysis (ERTA) or Option 209 is a scalar measurement system
based on the use of two (2) FieldFox units. One FieldFox acts as the source and reference
receiver, while the second FieldFox acts as the measurement receiver. When different frequency
models are used in an ERTA pair, the system frequency range is limited to the lowest of the pair.
A. Two (2) FieldFox units. FieldFox units can be any of these models:
- FieldFox combination analyzers: N9913/14/15/16/17/18/50/51/52/53B
- FieldFox signal analyzers: N9933/34/35/36/37/38/60/61/62/63B
The two FieldFox units used in ERTA do not have to be the same model.
- ERTA requires the following options on Combo FieldFox models
(N9913/14/15/16/17/18/50/51/52/53B):
- Option 210, VNA transmission/reflection
- Option 233, spectrum analyzer
ERTA requires the following options on SA FieldFox models (N9933/34/35/36/37/38/60/61/62/63B)
- Option 220, tracking generator
Both FieldFox units (the one used as the source, and the other used as the receiver) must have
the options listed above. The ERTA option (209) cannot be installed unless 210 and 233 are
present on a combo analyzer; or 220 is present on a SA analyzer.
With either the Combo or SA FieldFox units, the following options are highly recommended:
- Option 235, preamplifier – this option increases the measurement dynamic range by
increasing the received signal power
- Option 307, GPS receiver – this option increases the dynamic range by increasing the
frequency accuracy and permitting the use of a narrower RBW
B. Power splitter, two-resistor model, Keysight 11667A, 11667B, or 11667C. Other power splitters
can be used but the specifications listed are based on the match and tracking performance of
11667A, 11667B, or 11667C. Three-resistor power splitters are not recommended.
C. N9910X-712, Trigger/Reference-in cable, SMA (m) to BNC(f), 1 m, quantity two
D. N9910X-713, Trigger/Reference-out cable, SMB (m) to BNC (m), 1 m, quantity two
E. LAN connection – For ERTA, the two FieldFox units communicate via a LAN connection. For a
direct connection, a LAN cable is required. Or, both analyzers can be on a local area network.
F. N9910X-825, GPS Antenna. Necessary if Option 307 is ordered.

becomes available when Option 355 is purchased. AM/FM metrics provides the user with RF
spectrum view, demodulated baseband signal waveform, carrier power, frequency deviation,
SINAD and more.
11. What is included with Option
350?
Real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) or Option 350 provides real-time measurements. The
FieldFox must be equipped with spectrum analysis capability. The preamplifier option is
recommended, as elusive signals often have low power levels. The real-time bandwidth options
include 10 MHz (standard), 40 MHz (Option B04), or 120 MHz (Option B10). RTSA includes trace
recording and playback capabilities. It does not include a frequency-mask trigger (FMT).
12. Is Spectrum Analyzer Trace
Recording and Playback
standard or an option?
Spectrum Analyzer mode (Option 233) does not include Trace Recording and Playback by default.
To obtain this capability in SA mode, Option 236 Interference Analyzer and Spectrogram needs to
be purchased.
RTSA mode (Option 350) does include Trace Recording and Playback by default in RTSA mode.
Purchasing RTSA mode (Option 350) does not enable Trace Recording and Playback in SA mode
(Option 233).

13. What are the requirements for
Noise figure (NF) Option 356?
Requires spectrum analyzer mode (Option 233 on combination models), internal preamplifier
(Option 235) and DC bias variable voltage source (Option 309). An external noise source is also
required and FieldFox supports Keysight noise source models 346A/B/C/K40/K01. Also
recommended to improve accuracy is an external preamplifier Keysight models U7227A/C/F or
U7228A/C/F. Requires accessory item N9910X-713 BNC to SMB cable for DC bias variable
voltage source to noise source connection.
14. What is required for phased array
antenna support (Option 360)
and 5GTF over-the-air (OTA)
measurements (Option 377)?
Requires spectrum analyzer mode (Option 233 on combination models) and GPS receiver (Option
307). Highly recommend internal preamplifier (Option 235). N991x/3xB (x>5) models require
external mixer since phased array antenna and 5GTF operates at 28 GHz. See FAQ #16 for more
OML mixer information. No external mixer required for N995x/6xB models.
15. What is included with indoor and
outdoor mapping (Option 352)?
The FieldFox mapping function is available in the following modes: Channel Scanner (312),
Phased-Array Antenna (360), and OTA LTE (370), OTA 5G TF (377), OTA 5G NR (378). Mapping
is currently not available in SA or RTSA modes. Outdoor mapping requires the availability of GPS
(Option 307). Maps can be saved to the FieldFox internal memory, SD card or USB drive. Using a
direct wired LAN connection, FieldFox will automatically access OpenStreetMap (OSM) once
location coordinates (latitude and longitude) and zoom levels have been entered the Map Explorer
menu. If using the l FieldFox Map Support Tool , OSM map files can be downloaded to a .zip
file and imported to FieldFox internal memory. If the FieldFox GPS receiver is enabled and OSM
maps have been previously saved to FieldFox with those GPS coordinates, FieldFox can
automatically load the corresponding map to match the current GPS coordinates.
16. What is required for EMF
measurements (Option 358)?
Requires triaxial antenna. Supported antenna is AGOS advanced technologies Triaxial Isotropic
Antenna model SDIA-6000 30 MHz to 6 GHz. It can also be ordered as Keysight 85572A-006.
EMF measurements are supported with spectrum analyzer mode (Option 233 on combination
models) and OTA 5G NR (Option 378).
RTSA trace recordings can be recalled and played back in SA mode Spectrogram. This has the added benefit that the
measurements ar e s how n ‘ s lo w er’ , m ak i ng it eas i er fo r th e h um an ey e t o d e ci p her th e s ign a l c ont ent .

30 minutes to meet
accuracy specifications
InstAlign accuracy: ± 0.5 dB typical for a CW signal.
Since the measurement is within a certain frequency
channel or bandwidth, to make an accurate
measurement, the user needs to know the exact center
frequency and the signal's bandwidth and set those
accurately.
The power sensor can
easily be moved to the
measurement point, with a
USB cable connecting the
detector to FieldFox.
The measurement point needs to be connected to
FieldFox's RF input port. If an RF jumper cable is used,
the user needs to account for the loss of the cable with
an offset value (can be entered into the analyzer).
