What is X-Series Signal Analysis?

Future-ready

Optimize your investment and extend instrument longevity with upgradeable processor, memory, connectivity, analysis bandwidth, real-time spectrum analyzer, 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 Keysight Technologies, Inc. X-Series instru­ments.

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.

Stay ready, stay in sync, and arrive ahead—with the Keysight X-Series.

Accelerate in Wireless

Even as standards evolve and signal environments become more complex, product cycles keep getting shorter. Now more than ever, each project demands tradeoffs and decisions about specs, features, throughput and yield. A highly flexible signal analyzer helps you make solid choices and keep things moving—quickly.

The midrange MXA is the optimum choice in wireless as you develop new devices and deliver them to manu­facturing and the marketplace. It has the flexibility to quickly adapt to your evolving test requirements—today and tomorrow.

Speed, performance, and application support

From 10 Hz to 26.5 GHz, the MXA is built for speed: it helps you shorten test times with capabilities such as rapid local measurements, display updates, and marker peak searches. Fast sweep speed optimizes your spurious mea­surements.

It’s also built for performance: you can accurately characterize device perfor­mance by measuring small signals in the presence of large ones with up to 116 dB (typical) third-order dynamic range. The best-in-class phase noise (–114 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset) enables you to achieve the lowest internal EVM floor for cellular communication standards like LTE. With deep capture memory, you can perform thorough sig­nal characterization by capturing longer I/Q samples from signals-under-test.

The library of available X-Series measurement applications lets you test the latest standards—LTE-Advanced, HSPA+, multi-standard radio (MSR), and wireless LAN—with one-button simplicity and up to 160 MHz analysis bandwidth. If your organization uses the Keysight PXA or EXA signal analyzers in other areas, measurement settings and control programs are compatible across the X-Series family.

All this capability makes it possible to use one instrument to characterize signals in different subassemblies. For example, you can easily analyze baseband signals with the baseband I/Q (BBIQ) analog inputs1. You can also measure RF signals at the front end of the assembly or analog baseband signals at the backend.

Add real-time spectrum analysis

Adding real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) capabilities is an upgradable option for new and existing MXAs (wide bandwidth option required), enabling you to see, capture and understand fleeting signals at very low levels in the increasingly complex communication signal environments.

It eliminates the need for a specialized or dedicated instrument and retains all the functionality of a traditional signal analyzer. Use integrated applications for power measurements and commu­nications standards and, when needed, shift to real-time capabilities in the same unit.

Move Ahead Quickly in Wireless Device Design

Getting your latest designs to market on time starts with deeper insights from better measurements. In the MXA, you can more easily find small signals such as spurious responses with excel­lent sensitivity (–166 dBm DANL) and an internal preamplifier that covers the analyzer’s full frequency range up to 26.5 GHz. Significantly enhanced phase noise performance (–114 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset) helps you to test your design with the great­est confidence.

The MXA also helps you analyze signals from virtually any wireless device—quickly and confidently—with up-to-date parametric and RF functional tests. In design verification, the MXA helps shorten test time with 4-ms local measurements and display updates. To take your measurements to the next level, the 89600 VSA software helps you see through the complexity of leading-edge cellular signals such as LTE-Advanced and wireless connectiv­ity signals such as 802.11ac WLAN, along with the optional wide analysis bandwidth. –50 dB of internal EVM for the 802.11ac signal demodulation with optional 160-MHz analysis bandwidth provides you with performance previously only seen in the highest-performance analyzers in marketplace. To enhance your perspective, the software includes a multi-measurement mode that can simultaneously analyze waveforms from any combination of the 75-plus supported standards and modulation types. To help you find the root problem quickly, the 89600 VSA includes a variety of advanced trouble­shooting tools that let you explore signals in the time, frequency, and modulation domains, simultaneously.

Troubleshooting in wireless communication and connectivity

With a real-time MXA, you can capture and analyze complete transmitter-channel characteristics at gap-free bandwidths of up to 160-MHz within a 26.5-GHz frequency range. In highly integrated multi-mode devices, you can identify intermittent interoperability issues with the best POI currently avail­able. You can also observe base station function using wideband persistence displays, which help pinpoint problems such as intermittent pre-distortion issues.

The standard frequency mask trigger (FMT) capabilities enable you to characterize frequency switching, verify overall system operation and find system violations. For deeper analysis, add the 89600 VSA software. To reveal greater detail, you can check PLL settling and identify LO issues by combining FMT, 89600 VSA software and real-time spectrogram displays.
