58 PRODUCTS Signal analyzer to cut costs in design and production With the EXA signal analyzer, Agilent Technologies is attempting to eliminate the compromise between speed and price by integrating the same range of standards-based measurements as the company’s 89600 vector signal analysis (VSA) software in a single instrument. Optional measurement application software provides preconfigured test routines for GSM/EDGE, 802.16e Mobile WiMAX, W-CDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, and phasenoise applications. Running the Agilent 89600 VSA software application in the EXA enables advanced signal demodulation analysis and troubleshooting of more than 50 demodulation formats including: 2G, 3G, 3.5G, WiMAX, WLAN and Private Mobile Radio. The analyser includes a set of standard one-buttonpower measurements for characterizing signal quality, such as adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), channel power, occupied bandwidth, spectrum emissions mask, complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF), burst power and spurious emission. EXA returns a marker peak search result in under 5 ms, local updates in unfdesr 10 ms, and remote sweep and transfer (via GPIB) in under 12 ms. Measurement mode switching speeds are typically under 75 ms, enabling a seamless change between WiMAX, W-CDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, GSM/EDGE, phase noise measurements, and 89600 VSA software. Remote measurement capabilities (via LAN, GPIB, or USB 2.0) such as sweep/trace transfer, local updates, adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR), marker peak search and mode switching are useful in manufacturing environments to improve test system throughput. In development the accuracy of the EXA provides the ability to pinpoint signal quality issues and enables troubleshooting and diagnostic evaluations. The EXA signal analyzer supports multiple frequency ranges from 9 kHz to 3.6, 7.0, 13.6 and 26.5 GHz, an internal fully calibrated pre-amplifier option up to 3.6 GHz, and standard analysis bandwidths of 10 MHz. This fully scalable functionality is complemented by a +13 dBm third-order intercept, -146 dBm/Hz displayed average noise level (without pre-amp) and 66 dB W-CDMA ACLR dynamic range, as well as industryleading 0.4 dB total absolute amplitude accuracy, which is made possible by the all-digital, 14-bit ADC IF section. The dynamic range is maximized with an optional 2 dB mechanical step attenuator over the full frequency range and for manufacturing offers an optional 1 dB electronic attenuator to 3.6 GHz.
