Master the Essentials

A great low-cost signal analyzer surpasses the basics and delivers crucial func­tionality. That’s the strength of the CXA signal analyzer, the leading low-cost tool for essential signal characterization. Its capabilities provide a foundation for cost-effective testing and seamless integration with the other X-Series models. The CXA is also an excellent teaching tool for RF and microwave technologies and signal analysis. Get must-have capability with X-Series expandability in the CXA—and master the essentials.

Master the essentials in manu­facturing test

With general-purpose signal analysis and a variety of license key upgrad­able measurement applications, you can quickly and easily reconfigure the CXA to fit changing requirements in manual or automated testing. You can also improve system uptime with the proven reliability of the X-Series technology platform.

Master the essentials in product development

The CXA helps you accelerate product de­velopment and design, while staying within your equipment budget. The ability to add measurement applications and 89600 VSA software allows you to work in more than 75 different modulation formats.

Master the essentials in RF and microwave education

The CXA is also an excellent tool for the teaching of RF and microwave signal analysis, from basic circuit characteriza­tion to advanced signal analysis. Beyond its versatile range of built-in capabilities, you can add 89600 VSA software as well as easily integrate the CXA into analysis environments such as MATLAB

Add Dependable Signal Analysis to Manufacturing Test

The CXA is ideal for manual or automated testing of RF and microwave components such as amplifiers and filters, as well as electronic products such as cordless phones, wireless LAN routers, and wire­less paging systems. Whether you are pur­suing cost-reduction initiatives or greater throughput, the flexible, dependable CXA can enhance your manufacturing process.

Measurement capabilities include general-purpose spectrum analysis and one-button PowerSuite measurements. The optional built-in tracking generator1 provides a fast and cost-effective solution for scalar network analysis. The additional 75 Ω input connector¹ helps make an easy cable TV signal measurement. For greater flexibility, you can quickly configure—and reconfigure—the CXA with more than 25 of software applications for specific mea­surements including analog demodulation, digital video, and wireless connectivity. Licensing upgrades make transitions fast and easy.

For automated test systems, the CXA pro­vides GPIB, USB 2.0, and LAN (1000Base-T) connections, and is LXI class C compli­ant. In addition to SCPI programmability, the CXA is code-compatible with Keysight ESA spectrum analyzers, making it easy to move up to the CXA. The CXA is also remote-language compatible with all other Keysight X-Series signal analyzers.

In manual testing applications, learn­ing is fast with the Windows-based user interface. In addition, operators who are familiar with the Keysight ESA Series will appreciate the similarity of the CXA. Whenever questions do arise, the CXA’s built-in help function provides fast ac­cess to the information you need to move forward.

Whether on the bench or integrated in a system, the CXA is designed to promote uptime with the proven reliability of the X-Series hardware and software platform—also used in the Keysight EXA, MXA, and PXA signal analyzers.

Control Costs with Essential R&D Measurements

Whether you’re rapidly updating a next-generation product or revis­ing an existing design, the CXA can help you perform signal character­ization for testing, verification, and troubleshooting. The CXA’s built-in capabilities allow you to obtain es­sential measurements of frequency, level, spurious, and distortion without overspending your budget.

For example, you can quickly measure spurs and harmonics by leveraging the speed and solid DANL perfor­mance of the CXA. In addition, you can make one-button measurements such as channel power, adjacent channel power (ACP), and occupied bandwidth (OBW) with PowerSuite. The CXA’s built-in tracking generator provides a cost-effective solution for RF scalar network analysis allowing you to characterize the behavior of components or subsystems such as frequency response and insertion loss or gain.
