The AWG and oscilloscopes offer bandwidth up to 1 GHz to enable the generation and analysis of complex baseband IQ signals to evaluate new 5G, aerospace, and defense broadband technologies.
The new PXI offering includes AWGs and digitizers that allow engineers to expand the instrument's core capabilities or insert custom algorithms into the integrated FPGAs. A graphical design environment simplifies adding the customization needed for new technologies, research, and design, while leveraging the FPGA's full performance and speed. The M3xxxA AWGs and digitizers utilize the FPGA and PXI reference clock to deliver real-time sequencing and multi-channel/multi-module synchronization for compatibility with advanced multi-channel applications, such as multi-user channel modeling technologies and quantum computing.
"Research engineers are constantly looking for ways to anticipate technology and achieve new levels of performance," says Roger Nichols, 5G program director at Keysight. "Our new class of cost-effective PXIe solutions delivers the performance they need, along with flexibility and new levels of easy customization for creating and processing real-time and deterministic signals.".
Ideal for creating digitally modulated waveforms for broadband communication systems and high-resolution waveforms for radar and satellite testing, the AWG PXIe M9336A features multiple synchronized or independent signal outputs. The M9336A delivers superior performance in a single-slot PXIe module, including 16-bit resolution, modulation bandwidth up to 1 GHz, and individual channel control of gain, offset, and skew. Engineers can generate custom and industry-standard waveforms for the AWG using Signal Studio, MATLAB, Waveform Creator, or other tools and easily integrate them into various application development environments.
The PXIe M9243A oscilloscope is based on Keysight's InfiniiVision oscilloscope technology, offering bandwidth up to 1 GHz for broadband signal analysis and troubleshooting. With a refresh rate of 1,000,000 waveforms per second and advanced polling technology, the oscilloscope enables troubleshooting of random and intermittent signals that are not easily seen with digitizer technology. Its powerful features include cursors and markers, advanced triggering, waveform averaging, masks, and 31 selectable measures. When the oscilloscope is paired with VSA 89600 software, engineers can demodulate and evaluate complex IQ waveforms across a full 1 GHz bandwidth.
A webcast dedicated to the challenges of broadband analysis and the use of oscilloscopes or digitizers is planned for March 1st.
Keysight's fast turnaround time, industry-leading calibration, core replacement strategy, and standard three-year warranty maximize system availability to reduce total cost of ownership.
