Introduction

Development becomes more complex when faster data rates intersect with today’s crowded spectral environment. Finding a signal problem is essential but achieving the clarity to pinpoint the answer is the crucial challenge. PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (89600 VSA) software is a comprehensive set of tools for demodulation and vector signal analysis. These tools enable you to explore virtually every facet of a signal and optimize your most advanced designs. As you assess the tradeoffs, the PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (89600 VSA) helps you see through the complexity.

Thanks to the interoperability with Keysight PathWave design software, you can accelerate development with a consistent set of analysis tools for simulation and test. Keysight PathWave Design Software is the leading supplier of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software for electronic product development across numerous industries. Keysight PathWave System Design (SystemVue) is an RF system design tool for development of next-generation radar and communication systems. PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) enables the design of RF, microwave, high-speed digital and even power electronics solutions. Both SystemVue and ADS connect to the 89600 VSA software for analysis of simulated RF waveforms.

Key benefits

• Quickly analyze simulated signals from Keysight SystemVue and ADS using 89600 VSA software as a trusted “golden receiver”

• Compare analysis results at the simulation, prototype, and design validation stages

• Pinpoint signal problems with powerful troubleshooting tools in multiple traces and analysis that supplement SystemVue and ADS

Use 89600 VSA to Test Today’s Signals and Be Ready for Tomorrow’s Standards

With PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software, you can measure more than 75 signal standards and modulation types for cellular communications including evolving 5G New Radio, WLAN 802.11ax/11be, 802.15.4/4z HRP UWB, MILCOM, satellite communications (DVB-S2X) and more. PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (89600 VSA) software also lets you leverage Keysight’s consistent track record of being first to market with support for emerging standards, even before they are fully released.

Use 89600 VSA to Help You Explore Radar Pulse Signals 

Today, electronic warfare systems are required to identify targets and signals quickly to provide appropriate responses in a very dynamic environment. Pulses are now modulated with numerous types of modulation to improve range resolution, and the frequencies may be hopping rapidly. They must rise and fall with precise amplitude envelopes. Accurate and timely analyses are of the utmost importance for these missions. With the “Radar Pulse Analysis” measurement extension, pulse boundaries are automatically detected with advanced algorithms. A Swiss Army knife of tools becomes available, including new trace types, statistics, measurements, and table metrics, all specifically tailored for pulse analysis.  Coupled with the SystemVue W4521E Radar and EW library, designers can simulate their RF systems with high-fidelity models and real-world scenarios.
