Software supports early-stage test and development of 5G through custom modulation
Signal Studio for custom modulation provides high flexibility through a suite of tools that enables creation of emerging 5G candidate waveforms, such as filter bank multicarrier (FBMC), as well as custom OFDM and I/Q configurations. For accurate testing of hardware designs, the software provides connectivity to Keysight signal generators and arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs). By providing easy access to the right test signals, Signal Studio for custom modulation streamlines development, allowing researchers to try more candidate signals in less time as they explore next-generation waveforms.
The capabilities of the new software are also useful in aerospace/defense applications such as military communications and satellites that often utilize custom or proprietary waveforms not directly supported by commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment. For these applications, Signal Studio includes custom I/Q quick setups such as digital video (e.g., DVB-S2X APSK), custom SOQPSK and custom OFDM that users can modify to fit their requirements.
Signal Studio for custom modulation is also the signal-creation companion to the 89600 VSA software with Option BHK, custom I/Q modulation analysis; and Option BHF, custom OFDM modulation analysis. Test engineers thus can save a custom OFDM VSA file in N7608B Signal Studio and recall the setup file in the 89600 VSA software to demodulate and analyse signals.
To produce test signals, Signal Studio for custom modulation supports the Keysight E8267D PSG microwave vector signal generator, N5172B EXG and N5182B MXG RF vector signal generators, and M8190A AWG.
