SANTA ROSA, Calif., 29 Feb. 2016. Keysight Technologies Inc. in Santa Rosa, Calif., is introducing the X-Series signal analyzer systems for test and measurement applications to help military radar systems developers create next-generation devices.
Most notable is a multi-touch user interface (UI) that streamlines measurement setup and creates a solid foundation for new solutions. Performance improvements and feature enhancements address emerging needs in aerospace, defense and wireless communications.
The UI enables optimization of measurement parameters in no more than two touches. Support for gesture-driven controls, such as pinching, dragging and swiping, makes analysis more immediate and intuitive. With consistent operation across the UXA, PXA, MXA, EXA, and CXA, learning one means knowing them all.
To help developers create next-generation devices, the UXA offers frequency coverage to 44 or 50 GHz and integrated 1 GHz analysis bandwidth. The PXA offers benchmark phase noise performance of -136 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset, and real-time bandwidth of 510 MHz with spurious-free dynamic range greater than 75 dBc over the full span.

To characterize signal interactions in dense radar environments, the UXA and PXA support real-time data streaming to 255 MHz bandwidth with 16-bit resolution at 300 MSa/s. When coupled with a data recorder from solution-partner X-COM Systems, the analyzers support real-time acquisition with up to 15 TB (> 3 hrs) of capture memory.
X-Series applications with multi-touch simplify complex operations with proven, ready-to-use measurements for pulse analysis, analog demodulation, noise figure, phase noise, LTE/LTE-Advanced and W-CDMA.
Its pulse application accelerates the development and verification of chirped wideband signals, such as those used in advanced radars. Updates to the LTE/LTE-A application simplify characterization of systems that use carrier aggregation by supporting 256QAM and providing visible configuration of all component carriers.
