Simultaneously create, config-
ure, and execute multiple
measurements
The new, innovative multi-measurement
capability is now standard in the 89600
VSA software. The multi-measurement
capability allows you to configure, execute
and display several measurements at
once, simplifying and speeding analysis
of multi-carrier or multi-format devices,
simultaneous uplink and downlink signals,
or single signals compared at multiple test
points (baseband, IF, RF). When all signals
are spaced to fit within an instrument’s
analysis bandwidth, measurements are
perfectly simultaneous. For wider frequen-
cy coverage, the VSA software can coordi-
nate two or more independent instruments
to acquire all desired signals. You can
also configure the data acquisition mode
from synchronous (default) or sequenced
Multi-measurements in action: Traces A and B provide a composite spectrum overlaid with the CCDF
statistics for the combined waveform. Traces C and F show a GSM signal. Traces D and G outline a
to speed up measurement switching time
from one to another.
W-CDMA downlink signal and Traces E and H analyze an LTE downlink signal.
Channel configuration wizard lets you view and map hardware channels to multiple measurements.
