WLAN spectrum and modulation transmitter measurements based

SignalVu-PC is the foundation of RF and vector signal analysis software
that helps you easily validate RF designs. It is based on the signal analysis
engine of the RSA5000 Series real-time signal analyzers and runs on your
computer or Windows tablet. You can now move your analysis of
acquisitions off the instrument and anywhere. SignalVu-PC is also the
companion software that runs the analysis for the Tektronix USB real-time
spectrum analyzers. Whether your design validation needs include
wideband radar, high data rate satellite links, wireless LAN or frequency-
hopping communications, the SignalVu-PC comprehensive suite of tools
and application software can speed your time-to-insight by showing you the
time-variant behavior of these signals.

SignalVu-PC-SVE Vector Signal Analysis Software
Connect with the MDO4000B/C Series
With SignalVu-PC Connect (CON-SVPC), SignalVu-PC extends the
functionality of the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope MDO4000B/C Series and
turns it into the industry's only 1 GHz Vector Signal Analyzer. SignalVu-PC
controls the MDO4000B/C RF section, acquires the vector-calibrated I/Q
data, and makes wide-band, time-correlated, multi-domain measurements.
You can analyze, correlate and troubleshoot issues in time, frequency,
phase, amplitude, and even modulation, since you can acquire up to 1 GHz
of bandwidth in one shot. You can leverage the MDO4000B/C triggering
capability and extend your debugging work into system-level
troubleshooting of your embedded RF devices.

Long Term Evolution (LTE), Cellular
Capture with a variety of tools
Capture once - make multiple measurements without recapturing. Using
oscilloscopes, up to four channels can be captured simultaneously; each of
which can be independently analyzed by SignalVu-PC software. Channels
can be RF, I and Q, or differential inputs. You can also apply math
functions to the acquisition before analysis by SignalVu-PC. Acquisition
lengths vary depending upon the selected capture bandwidth: full-
bandwidth acquisitions can range from 1 ms to 25 ms depending upon
model and option selections. Real-time signal analyzer captures range from
up to 7.15 seconds at maximum acquisition bandwidth to several hours at
reduced bandwidths.
Analyze
SignalVu-PC vector signal analysis software uses the same analysis
capabilities found in the RSA5000 and RSA6000 Series real-time signal
analyzers.
Time-correlated measurements can be made of frequency, phase,
amplitude, and modulation versus time. This is ideal for signal analysis that
includes frequency hopping, pulse characteristics, modulation switching,
settling time, bandwidth changes, and intermittent signals.
Acquisitions from the USB Spectrum Analyzers and all Tektronix MDO/
MSO/DPO Series oscilloscopes, including the spectrum analyzer in the
Mixed Domain Oscilloscope can be analyzed with SignalVu-PC, adding
deep analysis capabilities to these broadband acquisition systems. Signals
acquired with RSAs and Specmon can also be analyzed with all of the post-
acquisition analysis capabilities of those instruments.
Once captured into memory, SignalVu-PC provides detailed analysis in
multiple domains. The spectrogram display (left panel) shows the frequency
of an 800 MHz wide LFM pulse changing over time. By selecting the point
in time in the spectrogram during the On time of the pulse, the chirp
behavior can be seen as it sweeps from low to high (lower right panel).
Time-correlated, multi-domain view provides a new level of insight into
design or operational problems not possible with conventional analysis
solutions. Here, the hop patterns of a narrowband signal can be observed
using Spectrogram (lower left) and its hop characteristics can be precisely
measured with Frequency vs Time display (upper left). The time and
frequency responses can be observed in the two views on the right as the
signal hops from one frequency to the next. All of the analysis shown above
is available in the free base version of SignalVu-PC.

Settling time measurements (SVT) are easy and automated. The user can
select measurement bandwidth, tolerance bands, reference frequency
(auto or manual), and establish up to 3 tolerance bands vs. time for Pass/
Fail testing. Settling time may be referenced to external or internal trigger,
and from the last settled frequency or phase. In the illustration, frequency
settling time for a hopped oscillator is measured from an external trigger
point from the device under test.
