Keysight Technologies M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyser tracking generator options

Keysight Technologies has announced the release of four M9290A CXA-m PXIe signal analyser tracking generator options. The signal analyser, with a built-in tracking generator, now has 3, 7.5, 13.6 and 26.5 GHz options. Vector signal analysis capabilities are also now available via the N9064A VXA X-Series measurement application or 89600 VSA software.

Adding a tracking generator to the signal analyser makes it suitable for characterising the behaviour of components or subsystems, including frequency response, conversion loss and insertion loss/gain, as well as analysing and identifying unknown signals. The modular stimulus response measurement solution allows system developers to fulfil the tasks for component characterisation while shrinking the test footprint and budget.

The VXA measurement application provides the device with a vector signal analysis mode that supports a wide range of measurements, demodulation types and filters that enable engineers to perform comprehensive signal analysis, test designs, ensure product quality and optimise performance. The N9064A is one of over 25 measurement applications in the Keysight X-Series signal analysers.

The 89600 VSA software is a set of tools for measuring signals; verifying signal performance with multiple simultaneous views in time, frequency and modulation domains; and troubleshooting via trace-to-trace coupling, triggering, record and playback. These tools accelerate device development with consistent vector signal analyser measurements at any stage of design.
