Agilent E2507B/E2508A Noise Power Ratio (NPR) Measurements Using the Agilent E2507B/E2508A Multi- format Communications Signal Simulator Product Note can be used as a stimulus for making NPR Stimulus Device NPR measurements at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz and above. It also dis- Under cusses using the Agilent 71910A wide- bandwidth receiver and 89410A vec- Test tor signal analyzer (VSA) together as the measurement receiver. Traditionally, spectrum analyzers have been used as measurement receivers. However, the receiver/VSA combination offers some key advan- tages that include band power averag- ing to calculate the power in preset bands. This improves repeatability NPR Response and removes the ambiguity of single- point marker measurements. Figure 1. The Agilent MCSS uses digital synthesis to create the noise stimulus for noise power ratio measurements. This product note is divided into five sections. Section 1 is the introduction. Section 2 is an overview of the noise 1. Introduction power ratio measurement. Section 3 Noise power ratio (NPR) i
