Quickly evaluate and troubleshoot
digitally modulated signals with the
modulation analysis tools in the
89601A software. Examine symbol
behavior with trellis/eye diagrams.
Use the constellation and vector
diagrams for an overall indication of
signal behavior and to obtain clues
to the cause of the problem. Take
advantage of the EVM, EVM
spectrum, and EVM time capabilities
for more sensitive examination of
signal errors.
Perform time domain analysis using
the 89601A software RF scope
capability. Evaluate pulse shape
with the main time display, select
specific portions of a burst for
analysis with the time gating
feature, and use statistical tools
such as CCDF and CDF to character-
ize the noise-like behavior of your
modern communication signal.
Simplify the characterization of your
signal with the zero-span spectrum
analysis tools in the 89601A analysis
software. With the wide selection
of spans available in the 89601A
software, match your measurement
span to your signal bandwidth, to
maximize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
analysis. FFT-based resolution
bandwidths down to less than 1 Hz
provide all the resolution needed for
frequency domain investigations.
A power spectral density (PSD)
function is useful for estimating
the level of the noise floor when
calculating SNR. Additionally, a
spectrogram display is provided for
monitoring the wideband behavior
of hopping signals over time.
89607A WLAN test suite software
The 89607A standards-based test
suite provides the convenience of
automatic, one-button test set-up
and execution. It also provides you
with the confidence of knowing your
design is being tested based on
the techniques, parameters, and
specifications set down in the IEEE
802.11a/b/g standards.
The 89607A WLAN test suite
software is ideal for characterizing
overall physical (PHY) layer per-
formance of your WLAN transmitter.
Evaluate your transmitter design
against the IEEE standards. Take
advantage of its standardized tests
to qualify parts or do acceptance
testing. Use the software for
manufacturing test; you can even
modify the pass/fail limits to add
some margin between what IEEE
requires and what test you do.
N4010A/89601A/89607A
combination
In the N4010A/89601A combination,
the N4010A can be used as a wire-
less connectivity test set to link with
other Bluetooth devices and check
for correct operation by making
parametric measurements on the
device under test. Use the 89601A to
extend the testing capabilities of
the N4010A by measuring and
graphically displaying modulation
quality of your Bluetooth signal.
With the N4010A and Option
89601A-B7R or 89607A software,
the N4010A/89601A/89607A
combination can be used to test and
troubleshoot WLAN modules and
devices. The N4010A with Option
89601A-B7R can be used for flexible
modulation analysis to quickly
locate design problems. The N4010A
with the 89607A software can be
used test WLAN modules to the
specifications set down in the IEEE
802.11b/g standards with one-
button pass/fail testing.
This combination can measure
active signals or signals captured in
the N4010A’s memory. The N4010A
or the N4010A/89601A combination
can examine active signals. Switching
between the two products is
facilitated by an easy disconnect/
restart menu selection in the
89601A user interface.
The 89601A/89607A software runs
on a PC connected to the N4010A
via LAN, USB, or GPIB and provides
hardware control, modulation analy-
sis, evaluation, and troubleshooting
along with complete results displays.
The controls and display of the
N4010A are disabled while operat-
ing the 89601A/89607A software.
