Agilent Infiniium Oscilloscopes and 89601A Vector Signal Analysis Software Data Sheet Wideband (up to 13 GHz) vector Modulated radar and wideband precise, accurate measurement and signal analysis and demodulation communications signals require wide- analysis for signal bandwidths up to tools for applications including bandwidth signal analysis that goes 13-GHz. You can now take advantage of radar, satellite communications, beyond the capabilities of traditional Agilent’s unparalleled experience and UWB and MIMO. spectrum analyzer-based signal sustained leadership in signal analysis, acquisition. The team of Agilent’s combined with Agilent’s industry- Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes leading high-performance real-time and 89601A Vector Signal Analysis digitizing oscilloscopes. Software is the only solution to deliver • Flexible demodulation lets • Error vector magnitude • Markers facilitate frequency, you measure constellation diagrams, measurements (89601A amplitude, offset, power, phase, carrier offset, and frequency error Option AYA). other measurements. for QPSK signals, 256-QAM signals and much more. • Dual-channel measurements allow • Time gating allows you to select stimulus-response, specific portion of signals for signal • Display formats including delay, other transfer function analysis. spectrogram, phase vs time, and measurements similar to a network frequency vs time provide rapid analyzer. • Variable frequency resolution. insight into complex signal behavior.

There is also an I+jQ mode signals in the time and frequency for analyzing two baseband quadrature The 89601A vector signal analyzer domains using either the BB channels. Results for any mode can be (VSA) provides flexible tools (baseband) or IF Zoom mode. In BB displayed as magnitude or phase, in for analyzing and demodulating even mode, the analysis frequency range I/Q and several other formats. the most advanced digital modulation is from 0-Hz to the stop frequency. In formats, including those not defined by IF Zoom mode, the analysis frequency an established standard. range is defined by center frequency 2 With the optional digital demodulator, Option 89601A-AYA, modulation quality measurements in the form of error vector magnitude (EVM) can be made on digital wireless communications signals with bandwidths of hundreds of MHz. In addition, powerful diagnosis capabilities allow you to determine the exact impairments that cause a digitally modulated signal to fail quality standards. A choice of 24 digital demodulators, 8 filters, and 25 instrument presets puts all this power at your fingertips. Figure 2.

Modulated radar analysis With the wideband Infiniium linearity, frequency linearity, and other oscilloscope and 89601A Vector Signal parameters of chirped radar signals Analyzer, you can measure phase easily. 3 Powerful spectrograph display provides insight The spectrogram display (upper trace in Figure 4) shows the frequency behavior of the radar signal over time. This particular signal has significant 2nd and 3rd order harmonics. Figure 4. Spectrogram display shows signal dynamic behavior. Dual-channel measurements Finding the 1-dB compression point of an amplifier using a GMSK signal Figure 5 illustrates a measurement of an amplifier’s 1-dB compression point. Amplifier designers no longer have to rely exclusively on network analyzers with unmodulated sinusoidal stimulus. The Infiniium oscilloscope/ Real VSA combination allows for this (blue) measurement by using an actual vs complex-modulated signal as stimulus. ideal Use of complex stimulus allows (yellow) component designers to observe response performance characteristics that would otherwise be undetectable when using sinusoidal stimulus.
