What is the frequency range of the Keysight E5052B Signal Source Analyzer?
The E5052B covers an RF input frequency range of 10 MHz to 7 GHz for phase noise, frequency, and power measurements. The baseband noise measurement extends from 1 Hz to 100 MHz for the standard E5052B, or 10 Hz to 100 MHz for the E5052B Option 011. This broad coverage makes it suitable for analyzing oscillators, synthesizers, and other signal sources.
What is the phase noise sensitivity of the E5052B?
The E5052B delivers exceptional phase noise sensitivity. At 1 GHz carrier with +5 dBm input and correlation of 1, typical sensitivity reaches approximately -178 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and -177 dBc/Hz at 100 MHz offset. Close-in performance at 10 Hz offset is about -91 dBc/Hz typical, with a specification of -128 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset.
How does cross-correlation improve phase noise measurements on the E5052B?
The E5052B standard version supports cross-correlation from 1 to 10,000 iterations, which improves measurement sensitivity by reducing uncorrelated noise. The improvement is approximately 5 dB per decade of correlation: 10 correlations provide 5 dB improvement, 100 correlations give 10 dB, and 1,000 correlations yield 15 dB improvement. This feature is not available on the Option 011 variant, which has a fixed correlation of 1.
What measurement modes are available on the E5052B?
The E5052B provides multiple measurement modes: Phase Noise measurement with both regular PN mode and Segment PN mode (firmware 3.20 or later), AM Noise measurement from 60 MHz to 7 GHz, Spectrum Monitor with up to 15 MHz span, Frequency and RF Power measurements with swept DC control voltage, Transient measurement for frequency settling analysis, and Baseband Noise measurement. Each mode targets specific signal source characterization needs.
What are the key differences between the E5052B and its Option 011 variant?
The Option 011 variant offers faster measurement speed, with typical measurement time of 3.3 seconds versus 12.9 seconds for the standard E5052B. However, it trades close-in offset capability, starting at 10 Hz instead of 1 Hz, and does not support cross-correlation or Segment PN mode. The Option 011 also lacks the analysis mode for frequency and power measurements, offering only a meter mode.
What DC voltage outputs does the E5052B provide for VCO testing?
The E5052B includes a DC supply voltage (Vs) output from 0 to +16 V with 1 mV resolution, and a DC control voltage (Vc) output from -15 V to +35 V with 0.1 mV resolution. Both outputs feature low noise levels: less than 10 nVrms/sqrt(Hz) at 10 kHz for Vs and about 1 nVrms/sqrt(Hz) at 10 kHz for Vc. Maximum output currents are 80 mA for Vs and 20 mA typical for Vc.
How accurate is the frequency measurement on the E5052B?
The E5052B provides frequency measurement with selectable resolution of 10 Hz, 1 kHz, or 64 kHz. Frequency uncertainty is ±(frequency resolution + time-base uncertainty). The internal OCXO timebase has a frequency uncertainty of ±5 Hz at 10 MHz (±0.5 ppm) with a temperature coefficient less than 0.5 ppb/°C and an aging rate less than 0.5 ppb/day for the first 30 days of continuous operation.
What transient measurement capabilities does the E5052B have?
The E5052B measures frequency, RF power, and phase transients from 10 MHz to 7 GHz with time spans from 10 us to 10 s. Wideband mode covers bandwidths up to 80 MHz (carrier above 800 MHz) with time resolution as fine as 8 ns. Narrowband mode provides frequency resolution down to sub-millihertz levels. Trigger sources include internal, external, manual, bus, and video triggering with pre-trigger delay from -80% of time span to +1 s.
