Frequency domain analysis for real-time scopes

29 October 2014 Test & Measurement

Keysight Technologies announced the availability of a frequency domain analysis (FDA) option, the industry’s first user-extensible spectrum frequency domain analysis application solution for real-time oscilloscopes.

The new option extends the capabilities of the Infiniium and InfiniiVision series by enabling engineers to acquire live signals from the oscilloscope and visualise them in the frequency domain as well as make key frequency domain measurements. Option N8832A-001 includes the application, the application source code for user extensibility, and MATLAB software. These tools allow engineers to extend the application’s capabilities to meet their current and future testing needs.

The application provides power spectral density (PSD) and spectrogram visualisation, commonly found in spectrum analyser and frequency domain analysis software, as well as performing frequency domain measurements such as relevant peaks in the PSD and measurements such as occupied bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, total harmonic distortion, spurious free dynamic range and frequency error.

Oscilloscope configuration can be performed through the application to allow for repeatable instrument configuration and measurements; SCPI commands are also possible for more advanced instrument setup. Insertion of additional custom signal processing commands can be done prior to frequency domain visualisation, as needed, for more advanced analysis insight.

Live or post-acquisition analysis of time domain data is possible through MATLAB software.
