MXA signal analysis and MXG signal generator platforms

Click2Contact

The Agilent MXA allows flexible signal and spectrum analysis measurements for the design and manufacture of wireless communication devices to current and emerging standards. It integrates a broad range of standards-based measurements such as WiMAX with 89601A vector signal analysis (VSA) software into a single instrument.

The MXA platform supports multiple frequency ranges from 20 Hz to 3.6, 8.4, 13.6 and 26.5 GHz, internal preamplifiers up to 26.5 GHz, and analysis bandwidths of 10 or 25 MHz. This fully scalable performance is complemented by MXA's 15 dBm third-order intercept, -151 dBm/Hz displayed average noise level and 72 dB W-CDMA ACLR dynamic range, as well as industry-leading 0.3 dB total absolute amplitude accuracy, which is made possible by the all-digital, 14-bit ADC IF section.

The MXG analog signal generator provides accurate and repeatable reference signals for applications like LO and clock substitution, CW interferers and modulated signals for analogue communication systems such as AM, FM and PM. In comparison, the MXG vector signal generator provides the vector-modulated signals necessary to produce components for cellular communications and wireless connectivity systems.

Simplified self-maintenance is a key feature, making it possible for all users to maintain or repair the instruments inhouse and maximise up-time. Typical on-site calibration can be performed in less than one hour and requires only a spectrum analyser and power meter and the average repair time is just 30 mins with no calibration required.

The Agilent MXG vector signal generator works with Agilent's proven Signal Studio software to simplify standard-based waveform creation.
