Real-time signal analysis on show at MTT-S 2013
On hand will be the latest AWG70000 series arbitrary waveform generator that claims the best combination of high sample rate, long waveform memory and deep dynamic range. In addition, attendees will be able to experience Tektronix’ premier Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer solutions along with the world’s first mixed domain oscilloscope.
The growth of digital RF across a crowded wireless spectrum has led to the need for signal analyzers able to capture the briefest of spectrum occurrences. Tektronix stands as the first test and measurement provider to address this need with its revolutionary DPX spectrum display technology that provides an intuitive live color view of signal transients as they change over time. Today, the company offers the industry’s broadest and most advanced portfolio of instruments equipped with DPX real-time signal analysis capabilities, extending from H500/SA2500 hand-held models to the high-performance RSA6000 series for the most demanding applications.
For spectrum management applications, one Tektronix demonstration will focus on the challenges users face in attempting to capture and identify unknown signals using conventional technologies. Attendees will then see firsthand how SPECMON can discover and capture events as short as 3.7 µs with 100 percent probability of intercept, making it easy to find and troubleshoot interferers fast.
For engineers in the radar and electronic warfare segment, Tektronix will be demonstrating how the latest AWG70000 arbitrary waveform generator can be used to generate multiple high-speed radar pulses. Then, density trigger modes on the RSA6000 series spectrum analyzers will be used to isolate specific radar signals with high dynamic ranges up to 110 MHz.
The AWG70000 offers bandwidth on demand by generating wide bandwidth signals at baseband, IF and RF frequencies up to 20 GHz, with greater than -80 dBc dynamic range. With up to 16 GSamples of waveform memory, it can generate unique signals that are long enough to simulate real world environments, making it the most flexible wideband signal generation product available today.
Wi-Fi continues to gain speed and market acceptance, driving the need for affordable signal quality testing for WLAN 802.11xx signals. Along with partner Octoscope, Tektronix will demonstrate the use of an MDO4000 mixed domain oscilloscope to analyze 802.11g bursts. The MDO4000 is the first oscilloscope with a built-in spectrum analyzer.
