PXIe signal generator gets 3, 7.5, 13.6 and 25GHz options
The CXA-m PXIe signal analyser, which has a built-in tracking generator, now has 3, 7.5, 13.6 and 26.5GHz options, making it the industry’s first modular stimulus response measurement solution, claims Keysight Technologies. Vector signal analysis capabilities are also now available on the CXA-m by the N9064A VXA X-Series measurement application or 89600 VSA software.
Adding an optional tracking generator to the CXA-m makes it ideal for characterising the behaviour of components or subsystems, including frequency response, conversion loss and insertion loss/gain, as well as analysing and identifying unknown signals. The modular CXA-m stimulus response measurement solution allows system developers to fulfill the tasks for component characterisation while meeting the demands of shrinking the test footprint and budget.
The VXA measurement application provides the CXA-m with a vector signal analysis mode that supports a wide range of measurements, demodulation types and filters that enable engineers to perform comprehensive signal analysis, thoroughly test designs, ensure product quality and optimise device performance.
The N9064A is one in a common library of more than 25 measurement applications in the Keysight X-Series signal analysers.
The 89600 VSA software is a comprehensive set of tools for measuring signals; verifying signal performance with multiple simultaneous views in time, frequency and modulation domains; and troubleshooting via trace-to-trace coupling, triggering, record and playback.
Collectively, these tools accelerate device development with consistent vector signal analyser measurements at any stage of design – from baseband to RF and simulation to design validation.
