W9071A GSM/EDGE/Evo Measurement Application for CXA

The W9071A is discontinued after June 1, 2019. The replacement model is the N9071EM0D X-Series Measurement Application with KeysightCare.

Signal analysis

• GSM, EDGE and EDGE Evolution including VAMOS¹ and Multi-Carrier BTS (MCBTS) per 3GPP GERAN standard
• Base station (BS) and mobile station (MS) RF transmitter measurements
• One-button measurements with pass/fail per the standard
• Runs inside the CXA signal analyzer

Measurements

• Base station: EVM; phase and frequency error; output RF spectrum (ORFS) for single carrier, multi-carrier and VAMOS enabled BTS; power vs. time (PvT); intermodulation products; TX band spur and more
• Mobile station: EVM; phase and frequency error; ORFS; PvT; TX band spur and more
• Multi-Carrier BTS (MCBTS) and adaptive QPSK (AQPSK) modulated VAMOS measurements per 3GPP TS 45 standard
• Multiple result views: constellation diagram, multi-slot power vs. time, ORFS for single and multi-carrier, demodulated bits, EVM vs. symbol, error summary, spectrum, time domain and more

Performance

• EDGE EVM floor: 0.7% (0.5% nominal)
• Absolute power accuracy: ±0.61 dB
• Analysis bandwidth: up to 25 MHz

Other features

• License key upgradable
• Fixed and transportable license available
• SCPI remote user interface

The W9071A GSM/EDGE/EDGE Evolution measurement application for the CXA is one in a common library of more than 25 measurement applications in the Keysight X-Series, an evolutionary approach to signal analysis that spans instrumentation, measurements and software. Transforming the X-Series signal analyzers into standard-based transmitter testers, the application provides fast one-button RF conformance measurements to help you design, evaluate, and manufacture your W9071A GSM/EDGE/EDGE Evolution devices. The measurement application closely follows the 3GPP GERAN standard allowing you to stay on the leading edge of your design and manufacturing challenges.

RF transmitter testing

• Low-cost alternative to the EXA economy class signal analyzer especially in mobile station component development and low-volume manufacturing
• Simplify measurement setup with one-button measurements with pass/fail limits in accordance with 3GPP GERAN specifications
• Perform the most important GSM, EDGE and EDGE Evolution transmitter measurements with familiar X-Series front panel operation, SCPI programmability, and superior measurement speed
• Expedite troubleshooting and design verification using a rich selection of traces: constellation diagram for all modulation formats; single slot and multi-slot PvT; single and MCBTS ORFS due to modulation and switching; magnitude error vs. symbol; phase error vs. symbol; EVM vs. symbol; plus more
