Agilent / HP / Keysight 53310A
53310A Modulation Domain Analyzer
Description
The Agilent / HP 53310A analyzer is an easy to operate, affordable modulation domain analyzer that has an intuitive data display that will give you a direct view of jitter or modulation.
The Agilent 53310A Modulation Domain Analyzer has horizontal and vertical markers in "vs Time" and Histogram displays. Markers can be used in conjunction with automated analysis. They may also be used to delimit a portion of the measurement data for detailed analysis.
Setup parameters are automatically determined to display the dynamics of the input signal. Measurement function and input conditioning should be selected prior to pressing Autoscale.
Built-in analysis functions of the 53310A include Minimum, Maximum, Peak to Peak, Mean, 1/Mean, Standard Deviation, (Modulation) Rate, 1/Rate, and Probability.
The Agilent 53310A allows storing and recalling up to ten measurement setups.
Display measurement range of the 53310A is settable as Center and Span, or Minimum and Maximum. For frequency measurements, the maximum display value can be selected no larger than eight times the minimum display value.
Option 031-High Resolution 2.5 GHz Channel C offers the 53310A superior measurement resolution.
The Agilent 53310A provides full programmability except specific self-test routines. All instrument settings and operating modes, may be remotely programmed via GPIB (IEEE Std 488.1-1987).
The programming codes and formats comply with IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common Commands (IEEE Std 488.2-1987), and Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) Standard, Version 1990.0.
A 450 point data record can be acquired and transferred to a computer at a rate ~17 times per second, as tested with an HP 9000, Series 300 controller. For this test, a 1-MHz carrier was applied to the 53310A analyzer with a timebase setting of 40 micro s/division.
The Test Limit Output will go high when measurements fall outside the display range of the Fast Histogram. In "vs Time" mode, it will indicate each time the Value Trigger condition is met following the pre-trigger delay.
Parameters like the peak to peak deviation, carrier frequency, and modulation rate are quickly and automatically displayed using the 53310A analyzer.
Key Points
Simple operation with single-button functions automated setup and measurement, large display.
Continuous frequency measurements maintain measurement relationships and prevent information loss.
Advanced triggering on frequency or time interval measurements eliminates complexity.
Fast histograms facilitate statistical characterization.
