5G Waveform Generation and Analysis Testbed, Reference Solution

This configuration uses the same source in the traditional configuration but replaces the spectrum analyzer with a high performance oscilloscope for performing up to 4-channel time-aligned phase coherent measurements with frequency and bandwidth coverage up to 110 GHz. The ultra-high 256 GHz sample rate combined with 10-bit vertical resolution enable demodulation fidelity comparable to traditional spectrum analyzers. This configuration enables 4x4 MIMO analysis or phase coherent measurements of devices under test like phased array antenna systems where evaluating performance between individual antenna elements with real-world modulated signals is important in revealing true device performance and characteristics.

Note: this configuration can also be ordered with a traditional spectrum analyzer for performing traditional swept-tuned measurements like in-band and out-of-band spurious emissions.

This configuration is designed for creating RF signals between 50 GHz and 110 GHz with bandwidths up to ~10 GHz, traditional swept-tuned measurements from 3 Hz to 110 GHz, and multi-channel demodulation of signals from DC to 110 GHz.
