Keysight Technologies has developed a PXI open radio test reference solution and a radio test audio library for military and public safety radios, enabling engineers to quickly evaluate and integrate core radio test measurement capabilities into validation, production or depot test systems.
Designers and manufacturers of new radio equipment face the challenge of combining new technologies – multiple channels and wider bandwidths – with legacy standards that need to be supported over long periods of time. This radio test reference solution provides flexibility, modularity and upgradability to allow new features and increased performance to be added without changing the entire test system.
In addition to traditional analog and digital radio standards, the solution supports standards-based signal creation and analysis for modern communications standards. This includes LTE for next-generation public safety radios, which provides wider data bandwidth. It also generates and analyses custom waveforms, and supports advanced capabilities such as spurious emission measurements up to 27 GHz.
Hardware options range from the affordable M9290A CXA-m signal analyser to the high-performance M9393A vector signal analyser. Software options include Keysight’s X-Series measurement applications, supporting a common set of standard measurements for AM, FM and digital radio, such as APCO P25 and TETRA signals. The M9560A radio test audio library accelerates audio signal generation and analysis.
