Agilent Technologies has made significant enhancements to its midrange N9020A MXA X-Series signal analyser. New options for 160 MHz analysis bandwidth and real-time spectrum analyser (RTSA) capability address the challenges of measuring interference in the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks. The options can be included in new MXAs or added to existing units. The RTSA option is one-seventh the cost of a single-purpose real-time analyser.
With increased deployment of small cells and wireless LANs, there is a greater likelihood of unwanted signal interaction in the RF spectrum. For developers, real-time spectrum analysis is a powerful tool for capturing and analysing highly elusive signals.
Agilent’s MXA with the RTSA option delivers 160 MHz real-time bandwidth and very fast overlap processing. The combination enables accurate triggering on short-duration transients. In addition, the signal analyser’s frequency-mask trigger and various real-time displays help users pinpoint intermittent interference problems.
On measurements up to 26,5 GHz, the MXA now offers analysis bandwidths of 85, 125 and 160 MHz, all of which are available as upgrades to existing units. The 160 MHz option meets the requirements of 802.11ac wireless LAN and LTE-Advanced specifications, both of which use wider transmission bandwidths to satisfy ever-increasing demand for data.
The MXA’s ability to capture signals within a 160 MHz bandwidth with 72 dBc of spurious-free dynamic range enables users to rapidly characterise small signals near large ones. For deeper analysis, the real-time MXA also works with Agilent 89600 VSA software. This combination enables users to thoroughly demodulate and characterise highly complex signals.
