Keysight/Agilent E2730A C-Size, Single-slot VXI RF Tuner Module
The Keysight/Agilent E2730A is a C-size single-slot VXI RF tuner module built for industrial automation and spectrum monitoring. It may also be found the manufacturer HP. The model pairs with the E1439B digitizer to form a complete VHF/UHF receiver subsystem. The module occupies a single VXI C-1 slot for compact system integration. The tuner module covers a frequency range of 20 MHz to 2700 MHz. It delivers a usable IF bandwidth of 36 MHz referenced at a 70 MHz IF. This bandwidth supports wideband signal capture across the VHF and UHF bands. The module is suited for broadband spectrum surveillance tasks.
The VXI RF tuner module provides a typical tuner noise figure of 11 to 12 dB. Its internally generated spurious signals remain at a maximum of -110 dBm. These specifications support reliable detection of low level signals in automated test setups. The RF input attenuation on the model ranges from 0 to 30 dB. The attenuation is adjustable in 2 dB steps for precise signal level control. The module does not include tuner pre-selection filtering. This design keep it compact while supporting flexible gain control.
The ADC section of the E2730A VXI RF Tuner Module delivers residual spurious responses rated at - 90 dBfs. The harmonic distortion performance reaches - 70 dBc or - 90 dBfs. These figures indicate strong dynamic range for digitized signal processing. The module maintains signal integrity through the digitizing chain. It operates across a temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. The specified accuracy is maintained between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. This range supports deployment in varied industrial and laboratory environments.
The E2730A Module supports control through GPIB, RS-232, LAN, and VXI interfaces. It runs on the Windows 2000 operating system platform. The process-to-process communication is available through sockets with the AS9 option. These interfaces allow integration into existing automated test networks. Using the RF multiplexer, the subsystem supports up to 16 antennas. During configuration and operation, an online help system with context sensitivity will help the operators. This is associated with the feature-studio software which enables four simultaneous trace displays. You can view the traces as a spectrum, spectrogram or color spectrogram. There are three threshold presentation options – off, line and mask.
