What is X-Series Signal Analysis?

Future-ready

Optimize your investment and extend instrument longevity with upgradeable processor, memory, connectivity, and more to keep your test assets current today and tomorrow.

Consistent measurement framework

Achieve measurement integrity across your organization and drive more productivity in less time by leveraging a proven foundation for signal analysis and identical operation across the X-Series analyzers.

Broadest set of applications

Address the changing demands of technology with more than 25 measurement applications, the ability to run software inside the open Windows operating system, and a first-to-market track record in emerging standards.

Balance the Challenges

Whether you're enhancing a product or improving test throughput, your general-purpose signal analyzer should be ready for a wide range of challenging requirements. That's what drives the Keysight EXA signal analyzer—the fast, flexible way to cover diverse needs with a single tool. It provides a solid mix of speed and performance, and offers the versatility of X-Series measurement applications. Get the EXA and be ready to balance the challenges.

Maximize speed, efficiency and throughput

On the bench or the production line, the EXA includes a list-sweep mode that lets you quickly perform power measurements at discrete frequency points. The fast sweep capability (1.5 seconds for a 26.5-GHz full-span sweep with 20 kHz RBW), available on the EXA with select option, saves significant amount of test time in your spurious response measurements. For devices that require multiple measurement applications, 30-ms mode switching helps you reduce overall test time. To further accelerate complex measurements and demodulation, you can upgrade the EXA with the available higher-performance processor. And when your measurements are complete, the 1000Base-T LAN connection lets you move more data or results in less time.

Enhance test margins and reduce error budgets 

The EXA provides premium capabilities at a cost-effective price. For example, it delivers power meter-class level accuracy with ± 0.27 dB absolute amplitude accuracy. The EXA also makes it easy to characterize spurious response with typical displayed average noise level (DANL) of –163 dBm at 2 GHz and –153 dBm at 44 GHz. Excellent third-order intercept (TOI) performance (+19 dBm for the millimeter-wave models or +18 dBm for the RF/microwave models) helps to achieve the dynamic range demanded for accurately measuring the smallest signals in presence of the larger signal. To ensure accurate verification of, for example, oscillator performance, get typical phase noise specifications of –106 dBc/Hz with the millimeter-wave models or –105 dBc/Hz with the RF/microwave models (10-kHz offset from a 1-GHz carrier). 

Get the measurements you need

With the EXA, you can address multiple needs with a single analyzer. A variety of general-purpose measurement applications and frequency coverage up to 44 GHz spans fundamentals and harmonics. You can extend the measurement range of the millimeter-wave EXA models with optional external mixing (Option EXM) to cover frequencies up to 110 GHz with Keysight USB-based smart mixers, or even reach into the terahertz range with the third-party vendor's external mixers. 

Configure the EXA for R&D and stay within your budget

Measure RF to millimeter-wave in wireless

The EXA is the fast, flexible way to cover multiple needs in R&D. Front-panel capabilities such as auto-tune help you quickly find signals-under-test and optimize the characterization process. When you’re working with multiple signals, analyze and compare them with powerful and intuitive capabilities such as six independent traces and 12 independent markers (24 delta pairs). At any point in your measurement process, the EXA helps you stay productive by providing comprehensive context-sensitive online help. When you need to analyze complex, modulated signals, get up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth using the VXA measurement application (N9064A). This application provides the basic analysis functions of Keysight’s industry-leading 89600 VSA software at a fraction of the cost. 

Meet millimeter-wave requirements in aerospace and defense

In aerospace and defense applications, the EXA’s measurement capabilities extend to meet millimeter-wave requirements in satellite communications, electronic warfare, radar, and missile control. The performance of the EXA lets you address tighter specifications and tougher test requirements with fast, accurate measurements of spurs and harmonics plus precise measurements of smaller signals. The EXA also helps you reduce capital expenditures with flexible hardware and software options and updates: an upgradable CPU, a broad set of more than 25 measurement applications, and support for 89600 VSA software. 

Optimize the EXA for Manufacturing

Maximize throughput and yield

To deliver test results faster, the avail­able high-performance CPU module enables speed improvements such as 1.5-ms marker peak searches and 5-ms remote-measurement and LAN transfers. Built-in capabilities such as list-sweep mode save time by performing power measurements only at specific frequency points. The fast sweep capability, associated with select option, speeds up swept tune measurements such as spurious responses (1.5 second for a 26.5-GHz full span with 20 kHz RBW). To help increase system uptime, the EXA has a standard two-year calibration cycle.  

Faster measurements with PowerSuite

The included PowerSuite delivers a variety of one-button measurements: adjacent-channel power (ACP), channel power, occupied bandwidth (OBW), spectrum emission mask, complemen­tary cumulative density function (CCDF), burst power, spurious emissions, intermodulation (TOI), and harmonic distortion. To simplify testing, you can access these standards-based power measurements remotely or through a single front-panel button. 

Extend measurement dynamic range

The 2-dB mechanical attenuator lets you optimize mixer levels and enhance achievable dynamic range across all frequency bands. You can fine-tune mixer levels and maximize dynamic range up to 3.6 GHz with the optional 1-dB electronic attenuator. This option also helps increase the instrument’s lifespan when used for high-volume repetitive procedures such as device tuning. Like all X-Series signal analyzers, the EXA includes finely adjustable resolution bandwidths with a 10-percent step size. This capability lets you optimize DANL performance to achieve the best possible dynamic range in highly demanding applications.
