Monitoring and detecting interfering signals in satellite receivers

Monitoring and detecting interfering signals in satellite receivers at higher frequencies and wider bandwidths requires a test system that can identify and characterize intermittent or transient signals, especially ones with very short durations. To capture elusive signals in these scenarios, the test system needs to support wide bandwidth real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) measurements to detect elusive signals even if they are very short.

Using a wideband real-time spectrum analysis solution allows the test system to minimize the gap between measurements and detect signals as short as 1 μs, 100% of the time. This makes it an ideal solution for detecting, observing, and identifying transient signals, with up to 2 GHz RTSA bandwidth—known or unknown.

Satellite receiver wideband interference test solution

Monitoring and detecting interfering signals for satellite receiver testing requires real-time spectrum analysis, especially for wideband applications. The Keysight wideband RTSA test solution includes the N9042B UXA X-Series signal analyzer and the 89601200C PathWave VSA (89600) software application. This solution provides gapless analysis bandwidth up to 2 GHz and minimizes the time between processing/rendering and re-capturing signals. Reduce overall analysis time and improve the probability of intercept (POI) to see, capture, and understand the most elusive signals with durations as short as 1 μs.
