New Levels of Interaction Enable Highly Intuitive Connections between
Cause and Effect in Development and Troubleshooting
Highlights:
-
Streamlined multi-touch interface enables optimization of measurement
parameters in two touches or less
-
First integrated 1 GHz analysis bandwidth simplifies test setup for
analysis of wideband systems in radar and 5G research
-
Widest real-time streaming up to 255 MHz bandwidth enhances analysis
of intermittent and highly elusive signals
-
Industry-best phase noise performance in all models addresses emerging
needs in radar, LTE, and more
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:KEYS) today announced new X-Series
signal analyzers that provide significantly enhanced capabilities
for developers creating next-generation devices. Most notable is a
multi-touch user interface (UI) that streamlines measurement setup and
creates a solid foundation for new solutions. Performance improvements
and feature enhancements address emerging needs in aerospace, defense
and wireless communications.
The UI enables optimization of measurement parameters in no more than
two touches. Support for gesture-driven controls, such as pinching,
dragging and swiping, makes analysis more immediate and intuitive. With
consistent operation across the UXA, PXA, MXA, EXA and CXA, learning one
means knowing them all.
To help developers create next-generation devices, the flagship UXA now
offers frequency coverage to 44 or 50 GHz and integrated 1 GHz analysis
bandwidth, an industry first. The PXA now offers benchmark phase noise
performance of -136 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset, and real-time
bandwidth of 510 MHz with spurious-free dynamic range greater than 75
dBc over the full span.
“These advances in usability and performance show that Keysight is once
again affirming its leadership in signal analysis,” said Mario Narduzzi,
marketing manager of Keysight’s Communications Solutions Group. “When
engineers choose the X-Series, they get accessible performance that puts
them closer to the answers they need to achieve their own breakthroughs
at RF, microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies.”
To characterize signal interactions in dense radar environments, the UXA
and PXA support real-time data streaming at up to 255 MHz bandwidth with
16-bit resolution at 300 MSa/s. When coupled with a data recorder from
solution-partner X-COM
Systems, the analyzers support real-time acquisition with up to 15
TB (> 3 hrs) of capture memory.
X-Series
applications with multi-touch simplify complex operations with
proven, ready-to-use measurements for pulse analysis, analog
demodulation, noise figure, phase noise, LTE/LTE-Advanced and W-CDMA.
The new pulse application accelerates the development and verification
of chirped wideband signals, such as those used in advanced radars.
Updates to the LTE/LTE-A application simplify characterization of
systems that use carrier aggregation by supporting 256QAM and providing
visible configuration of all component carriers.
Using the strengths of the X-Series, the new N897xB
NFA X-Series noise figure analyzers include a larger display,
multi-touch UI, and improved performance compared to their predecessors.
These capabilities enhance a user’s ability to make fast, accurate and
repeatable noise-figure measurements up to 40 GHz with a dedicated
solution.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
X-Series signal analyzers with multi-touch are available now with list
prices ranging from $13,284 for a 3 GHz CXA (N9000B) to $115,743 for a
50 GHz UXA (N9040B). Pricing for NFA X-Series models starts at $39,371
for the 3.6 GHz model (N8973B).
