S9110A 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver

System Performance 

Conditions 

Information and data contained in this data sheet is subject to change without notice.

In addition to the following conditions, the S9110A system performance, documented in this data sheet, is valid for an ambient temperature of 25 °C unless otherwise noted. 

• The system is within its calibration cycle. 

• The system has been stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed operating range for at least two hours before being powered on. 

• The system has been powered on continuously for at least 45 minutes warm-up time, with the IQ Analyzer or X-Series application (e.g. 5G NR) running, and the M1742A/M1749B uWave/mmWave Transceiver powered on (verify that LEDs are on, refer to “Time since start up” on base box GUI). If the system met these warm-up requirements and there is a brief power shutdown, such as a system reboot, allow 20 minutes of warm-up time after the system is powered back on.

• The alignments have been run in order of “Align Now All”, “Align LO Clock Synchronization”, “Align IF Cable” and “Align RRH Amplitude” for the first use, after the warm-up period.

• For F32, the alignments have been run in order of “Align Now All”, “Align LO Clock Synchronization”, “Align IF Cable” and “Align RRH Amplitude” after the warm-up period: If more than 7 days have elapsed.

• For F43/F49, the alignments have been run in order of “Align Now All”, “Align IF Cable”, “Align RRH LO Power” and “Align RRH Amplitude”, after the warm-up period: 

-        If more than 7 days have elapsed since the previous “Align Now All” alignment. 

-        If more than 30 days have elapsed since the previous “Align IF Cable”, “Align RRH LO Power” or “Align RRH Amplitude” alignments.

• A “Fast Alignment” and “Align Fast RRH Amplitude” (required by F32 only) have been run within the previous 8 hours.

• The alignments have been run in order of “Align Now All”, “Align IF Cable” and “Align RRH Amplitude”, if IF cables have been disconnected, reconnected, moved or replaced.

• Corresponding alignment have been run if the base box / RRH internal temperature has changed more than 5 °C from when the previous same alignment was performed.

Characteristics

• The characteristics provided in this data sheet for operation at or below 6 GHz are a subset of the specifications for the Keysight M9410A PXIe VXT Vector Transceiver module. For the most recent detailed performance information, refer to the M9410A Data Sheet (literature no. 5992-3331EN). Note that the performance characteristics in that data sheet apply at the input/output connectors of the M9410A module, but in the S9110A system, there is approximately 0.25 to 0.5 dB of insertion loss between the S9110A front panel connectors and the M9410A due to the M9155C switch module and cabling. 

• The S9110A-BK1 system includes both a Primary Transceiver (M9410A PXIe VXT) that generates a “Wanted” signal and a Secondary Transceiver (M9410A PXIe VXT) that generates a “Blocker” signal (interfering signal) for testing the performance of a base station receiver. 

• These RF signals are combined in a hybrid combiner before being routed to the S9110A-BK1 front panel. In these systems, there is approximately 3 dB of insertion loss between the Primary Transceiver and the S9110A-BK1 front panel RF Out connector, and there is approximately 18 dB of loss between the Secondary Transceiver and the S9110A-BK1 front panel RF Out connector. 

• The Sub 6 GHz amplitude characteristics in this data sheet include the effects of the added system insertion loss. 

• The M9410A-001 in this S9110A 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver is configured with: Option F06 (Frequency Range, 380 MHz to 6 GHz), Option B12 (1.2 GHz BW), Option M05 (512 MSa memory), Option 1EA (High Output Power).
