Multi-measurement capability for signal analyser software

13 June 2012 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies announced that an innovative new multi-measurement capability is being added to its 89600 VSA software, enabling simultaneous signal analysis of multiple carriers and signal formats for more efficient testing and deeper signal insight in wireless test.

With wireless R&D and manufacturing engineers increasingly working with more than one signal at a time – whether for multi-format/multi-carrier devices or for viewing both uplink and downlink signals at the same time – analysing one signal at a time is no longer efficient. Moreover, it fails to provide intelligence about the subtle interactions among dissimilar signals within a device.

The 89600 VSA software’s new multi-measurement capability has been engineered to deliver the power of multiple signal analysers with the convenience of a single, optimised user interface. The software’s advanced architecture will enable engineers to configure multiple measurements simultaneously.

Because all measurements reside in memory, any or all of them can be called on for immediate and coordinated execution. In addition, engineers will be able to perform measurements sequentially when signals are spaced too far apart to be captured in a single acquisition. With results then displayed on one screen, they will be able to use trace overlays and user-defined equations to do in-depth comparisons.

The new capability is designed for use in a variety of test scenarios, including multi-standard radio (MSR). Along with its recently announced MSR measurement application for X-Series signal analysers, Agilent now offers a range of test solutions supporting the product lifecycle of the MSR base station from R&D through manufacturing.
