Drive Your Evolution

In real-world signal analysis, the ability to evolve equals success. For future designs, excellent measurement performance enables detailed analysis of complex signals. For existing technologies, versatile capabilities help you reduce product cost. And for legacy test systems, drop-in replacement ensures ongoing stability.

Designed for the real world, Keysight’s future-ready PXA signal analyzer is the evolutionary replacement for your current high-performance analyzer. It helps you sustain past achievements, enhance current designs, and accelerate future innovations. Take control with the PXA signal analyzer—and drive your evolution.

Evolve in R&D

With the performance and flexibility of the PXA, you’ll be equipped to cre­ate state-of-the-art original designs. Unravel complex signals through the PXA’s broad set of measurement applications and demodulation capabilities, such as the Keysight 89600 VSA software and MATLAB.

Add real-time spectrum analysis

Adding real-time spectrum analyzer capabilities is an upgradable option for new and existing PXAs, enabling you to see, capture and understand fleeting, close-in signals at very low levels. (see page 4)

Evolve in operations (ATE)

The ATE system you create today will be will be able to keep pace with future changes. Through its outstanding speed and performance, the PXA will help you reduce measurement uncertainties and improve yields. Whatever the pace of your product life cycle, you can drive your evolution with the Keysight PXA signal analyzer

Maximize Signal Insights With Outstanding Performance

Measure with confidence

The PXA is ideally suited for high-performance R&D applications in aerospace & defense and com­mercial wireless communications. The PXA analyzes signals over wider bandwidths, reduces measurement uncertainty and reveals previ­ously hidden signals with Noise Floor Extension.

Go deeper with Noise Floor Extension (NFE)

NFE technology provides a dramatic improvement in the PXA’s ability to accurately measure low-level signals approaching the theoretical “kTB” noise floor. NFE reduces the measurement noise by up to 10 dB and more. With increased averaging, the PXA’s effective noise floor can be extended by up to 10 dB because 90% or more of the contributed noise power is predictable, which means it can be measured, calibrated and then eliminated during normal measure­ments. (see application note Using Noise Floor Extension in the PXA Signal Analyzer, literature number 5990-5340EN)

Know you’ve got it with real-time spectrum analysis

Even at the extremes of signal analy­sis, your high-performance analyzer should be ready for anything. That’s why we offer real-time spectrum analysis as an upgradable option for new and existing PXAs. With real-time spectrum analyzer capabilities, the PXA offers the widest analysis bandwidth and dynamic range to ensure maximum probability of intercept (POI). And for even deeper analysis and thorough characteriza­tion of complex signals, a real-time PXA can also be equipped with the Keysight 89600 VSA software (page 6). See, capture and understand the most elusive signals—known or unknown.

Upgrade Legacy Instruments While Maintaining Test System Stability

Keysight has contributed decades of innovations and product excellence in spectrum and signal analysis. Naturally, many users of our past-generation analyzers are looking to migrate to the latest technology with more performance, faster measurement time, and the highest level of backwards compatibility.

Up to 70% faster to improve measurement time

Enhance your test systems with the power of the PXA. Compared to past-generation analyzers, the PXA offers improved speed and performance, leading to improved yields and reduced measurement uncertainties.

The PXA’s speed advantage can translate into fewer test stations. It provides up to 70% faster test times than the Keysight PSA spectrum analyzer, and is often much faster than the Keysight 856x spectrum analyzers.

Expect great reliability and uptime

To help you maximize system uptime, expect the PXA to provide excellent reliability based on the proven dependability and reliability of the X-Series. X-Series instruments share a common architecture and simplified design that includes one-third fewer major subassemblies compared to our past-generation analyzers.

Simplify migration and match past results

We’ve also made it easy for you to migrate PSA-based systems. By design, the PXA utilizes the same command language (SCPI) as the PSA for the most commonly used spec­trum and signal analysis functions. The PXA also includes extensive command aliasing, which allows it to parse, accept, and process legacy PSA commands without interruption.

To further maximize compatibility, the PXA is designed to match previous results through core spectrum measurements that use the same proven algorithms as several other Keysight signal analyzers

Reveal New Levels of Signal Detail with Advanced Capabilities

Today and tomorrow, you can configure and reconfigure the PXA to fit evolving requirements. This starts with optional advanced measurement applications such as noise figure, phase noise, cellular communications, wireless connectivity, and digital video. Identical across the X-Series, these applications use the same measurement algorithms and provide consistent results whether you run them on the PXA, MXA, EXA, or CXA. To save time, ensure ease of use, and simplify programming, all four models use the same user interface and SCPI commands.

The ability to run the same library of X-Series advanced measurement applications ensures consistent, re­peatable results. Available transport of the applications across the X-Series lets you mix and match the hardware that provides your required levels of performance for the specific measurement at hand.

Our integrated approach to the X-Series control code, applications, functions, and user interface ensures a seamless transition from R&D to manufacturing. To enhance ease-of-use, the user interface retains the look and feel of our classic spectrum analyzers while giving you access to a wealth of advanced measurement techniques and analysis capabilities.
