• Provides standard compliant “Quick Setup” and demo for IEEE WLAN 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) SEM measurement and 3GPP 5G NR ACP measurement
• Use data from over 45 measurement platforms, or simulation tools, to meet your design and test goals
• Record and playback measurements for thorough analysis
PowerSuite Measurement
PowerSuite measurement can help you configure the PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (89600 VSA) software to perform fast spectrum related measurements like Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) and Adjacent Channel Power (ACP) measurements. These measurements are similar to the ones found in the Keysight X-Series Measurement Applications software. This technology is based on the advances in analog-to-digital converters and digital signal processors combined with FFT technology, which can offer the similar results as a swept-tuned spectrum analyzer with additional capabilities. You will discover that PowerSuite measurement now allows you select span, resolution bandwidth, and detectors that have previously only been available in swept-tuned spectrum analyzer. As PowerSuite measurement using the FFT mode, you can connect to hardware signal analyzer or scopes. This new capability also extends the 89600 VSA software beyond demodulation analysis, and you can sequence a multi-measurement as demodulation analysis and PowerSuite measurement together. Furthermore, PowerSuite measurement can also support both live measurement and recalling the recording files.
The picture below is an example measuring WLAN 802.11be signals using 89600 VSA software with sequenced multi-measurements. It includes two measurements: Wireless Connectivity measurement and PowerSuite SEM measurement. That means now you can make the modulation analysis and PowerSuite together inside the 89600 VSA software.
Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) Measurement
When working on wireless signal such as 5G NR or WLAN, you can characterize the transmitters by measuring the power of in-band and out-of-band emissions in a chosen frequency band at specified offsets. PowerSuite SEM measurement is an easy way to perform this task. It measures the levels of spurious signals in specified offset frequencies and relates them to the carrier power as reference. You can simply select the pre-defined radio standard which is compliant to the IEEE WLAN or 3GPP 5G NR specification definition, then it will list the SEM measurement results in some summary tables together with result trace. It also provides a pass/fail indication of whether or not the transmitter meets the limit test defined by the standard or your manual settings.
