Wideband signal characterization

SignalVu helps you easily validate wideband designs and characterize wideband spectral events using DPO70000SX or MSO/DPO70000DX oscilloscopes. You can easily switch between the SignalVu application and the oscilloscope's user interface to optimize the collection of wideband signals.

Trigger

SignalVu software works seamlessly with the oscilloscope allowing users to utilize all of its powerful triggering capabilities. The ability to trigger on time- and amplitude-varying events of interest is paramount in wideband system design, debug, and validation. The Tektronix oscilloscopes' trigger systems allow selection of virtually all trigger types on both A and B trigger events, whether they be transition, state, time, or logic qualified triggers. Fundamental triggers (such as Edge) can be configured from the SignalVu user interface directly. While a full assortment of triggers can be configured from the oscilloscope software application. Once triggered, SignalVu processes the acquisition for analysis in multiple domains.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Powerful oscilloscope triggers allow the user to capture only the relevant portion of wideband signals. Pinpoint trigger functions such as combining A and B events with Edge with Holdoff can capture a pulse train during a specific transmitter mode of operation.

Capture

Capture once - make multiple measurements without recapturing. All signals in an acquisition bandwidth are recorded into the oscilloscope's deep memory. Up to four channels can be captured and analyzed simultaneously by SignalVu software. Channels can be RF, I and Q, or differential inputs. Users can also apply math functions to the acquisition prior to analysis by SignalVu. Acquisition lengths vary depending upon the selected capture bandwidth and up to 2.5 ms can be captured on a single channel with the DPO/MSO70000 Series. Significantly longer capture times can be realized with lower oscilloscope sample rates.

Using the FastFrame segmented memory feature in SignalVu enables you to capture events of interest, such as low duty cycle pulsed signals, while conserving acquisition memory. Using multiple trigger events, FastFrame captures and stores short-duration, bursty signals and passes them to SignalVu vector signal analysis functions. Capturing thousands of frames is possible, so long-term trends and changes in the bursty signal can be analyzed.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Once captured into memory, SignalVu provides detailed analysis in multiple domains. The spectrogram display (left panel) shows the frequency of a 500 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 (upper right panel).

Analyze

SignalVu RF and vector signal analysis software use the same analysis capabilities found in the real time spectrum analyzers. SignalVu advances productivity for engineers working on components or in wideband RF system design, integration, and performance verification, or operations engineers working in networks, or spectrum management. In addition to spectrum analysis, spectrograms display both frequency and amplitude changes over time. Time-correlated measurements can be made across the frequency, phase, amplitude, and modulation domains. This is ideal for signal analysis, that includes frequency hopping, pulse characteristics, modulation switching, settling time, bandwidth changes, and intermittent signals.

SignalVu can process RF, I and Q, and differential I and Q signals from any one of the four available oscilloscope inputs. Math functions applied by the oscilloscope are also utilized by SignalVu, allowing users to apply custom filtering prior to vector signal analysis.

The Microsoft Windows environment makes this multidomain analysis even easier with an unlimited number of analysis windows, all time-correlated, to provide deeper insight into signal behavior. A user interface that adapts to your preferences (keyboard, front panel, touch screen, and mouse) makes learning SignalVu easy for both first-time users and experienced hands.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Time-correlated, multidomain, multi-channel views provide 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 right), and its hop characteristics can be precisely measured with the Frequency versus Time display (lower left). The time and frequency responses can be observed in the two top views as the signal hops from one frequency to the next.

Multi-channel support

Beginning with SignalVu v5.3, you gain the capability to perform wideband multi-channel acquisition and analysis of up to 33 GHz in frequency and bandwidth on 4 channels using Tektronix DPO70000SX or MSO/DPO70000DX oscilloscopes. Or 50 to 70 GHz on 4 channels using a stack of four instruments. Tight synchronization of multiple instruments using the UltraSync™ architecture provides configuration flexibility, allowing you to easily add acquisition channels and maintain channel-to-channel timing accuracy. Greater than four channels can be acquired and analyzed through a combination of programmatic control and separate instances of SignalVu. Supported multi-channel displays include the general signal viewing (opt. SVE), advanced pulse radar analysis (SVP), and general-purpose digital modulation analysis (SVM) displays. This advancement empowers you to attain a thorough comprehension of multi-emitter RADAR/EW pulse train behavior, non-contiguous uplink/downlink systems, and phased-array systems spanning parameters pertaining to RF power, time, quality/integrity, frequency, and phase.

For applications requiring up to eight channels at less than 10 GHz in frequency, and up to 2 GHz in analysis bandwidth, the 5 or 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes with SignalVu-PC are more suitable. Refer to the SignalVu-PC datasheet for more detail.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Three signals, each from a separate channel of the MSO64B, are acquired and analyzed with unique center frequencies, spans, and RBWs. These signals, featuring three different modulation schemes, are demodulated and analyzed within separate time slots, highlighting the independent control capabilities of each channel.

Shared acquisition multi-signal support

SignalVu software expands your analysis capabilities even further on oscilloscope by enabling simultaneous analysis of multiple frequency dispersed signals within a single acquisition bandwidth. By configuring multiple sources to one physical oscilloscope channel, it supports independent analysis of signals at different frequency bands from I/Q data acquired by a single channel. This capability offers critical insights into advanced, multi-standard systems, streamlining development and validation.

One example among many where such analysis is beneficial involves electronic warfare or military communications research, where analyzing pulse radar and 64QAM signals simultaneously on the same medium helps test and ensure system reliability under mixed signal conditions.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Analyze both wide and narrow bandwidths simultaneously. On the same oscilloscope channel of the 6 Series MSO, a 64QAM signal and a pulsed radar signal are captured using Source 1. For detailed analysis, Source 2 zooms in on the radar signal, while Source 3 focuses on the 64QAM signal.

Options tailored for your wideband applications

SignalVu RF and vector signal analysis software offers options to meet your specific application, whether it be wideband radar characterization, broadband satellite, or spectrum management. SignalVu Essentials (Opt. SVE) provides the fundamental capability for all measurements and is required for pulse analysis (Opt. SVP), settling time (Opt. SVT), digital modulation analysis (Opt. SVM), flexible OFDM analysis, and AM/FM/PM Modulation and Audio Measurements (Opt. SVA).

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24
Wideband satellite and point-to-point microwave links can be directly observed with SignalVu analysis software. Here, General Purpose Digital Modulation Analysis (Opt. SVM) is demodulating a 16QAM backhaul link running at 312.5 MS/s.

From FSK to 1024QAM, general purpose digital modulation analysis (SVM) provides precise modulation accuracy and essential physical layer measurements for 26 prevalent digital modulation types.

SignalVu_EN US_37W 22314 24

Settling time measurements (Opt. SVT) are easy and automated. You 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.

Advanced pulse analysis

The Advanced Pulse Analysis package (Opt. SVP) provides 31 individual measurements to automatically characterize the long pulse trains. A 500 MHz wide LFM chirp centered at 1 GHz is seen here with the measurements for pulses 1 through 10 (lower right). The shape of the pulse can be seen in the Amplitude vs. Time plot shown in the upper left. Detailed views of pulse number 8's frequency deviation and parabolic phase trajectory are shown in the other two views.

SignalVu (v5.3) software provides wideband multi-channel analysis up to 70 GHz or 33 GHz on four channels using Tektronix DPO70000SX or MSO/DPO70000DX oscilloscopes.1

WiGig IEEE802.11ad/ay transmitter testing

Option SV30 provides comprehensive analysis for WiGig IEEE802.11ad/ay IC characterization. Used together with the DPO77002SX, it delivers the industry's most accurate signal quality measurement at 60 GHz. Automatically detect the packet start, as well as decode packet information in the Header; synchronize to preamble using the Golay codes in the short training field; demodulates preamble, header, and payload separately; and measures EVM in each of these sections per the standard.

SV30 provides significant margin in EVM performance compared to what is required by the standard. Channel Impulse coefficients are also available. Both Control PHY (802.11ad) and Single Carrier PHY (802.11ad and 802.11ay) are supported and this option provides analysis of 802.11ay 2.16 GHz packets or 4.23 GHz adjacent 2-channel bonded packets.

Testing and verification can be done on IF and RF setups. RF power, Received Power Indicator (RCPI), Frequency error (Max, Average, Std. Deviation), DC Offset, IQ DC origin offset, IQ Gain and Phase imbalance, Signal Quality, and estimated SNR measurements are reported in the Summary display. Pass/Fail results are reported using customizable limits and the presets make the test set-up push-button.

For further insight into the signal, color coding is available in the user interface, allowing you to visualize the EVM spread across the analyzed packet with color codes differentiating regions. You can also view the demodulated symbols in tabular form with different color codes and with an option to traverse to the start of each region for easier navigation.

Bluetooth transmitter testing

Two options have been added to help with Bluetooth SIG standard base transmitter RF measurements in the time, frequency and modulation domains. Option SV27 supports Basic Rate and Low Energy Transmitter measurements defined by RF.TS.4.2.0 and RF-PHY.TS. 4.2.0 Test Specification. It also demodulates and provides symbol information for Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) packets. Option SV31 supports Bluetooth 5 standards (LE 1M, LE 2M, LE Coded) and measurements defined in the Core Specification. Both options also decode the physical layer data that is transmitted and color-encode the fields of packet in the Symbol Table for clear identification.

Pass/Fail results are provided with customizable limits and the Bluetooth presets make the different test set-ups push-button.

5G NR modulation analysis and measurements option

5G NR is among the growing set of signal standards, applications, and modulation types supported by SignalVu Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software. The SignalVu VSA 5G NR analysis option provides comprehensive analysis capabilities in the frequency, time, and modulation domains for FR1 and FR2 (mmWave) signals based on the 3GPP’s 5G NR specification.

By configuring result traces of spectrum, acquisition time, and NR specific modulation quality (e.g, EVM, frequency error, I/Q error) traces and tables, engineers can identify overall signal characteristics and troubleshoot intermittent error peaks or repeated synchronization failures.

Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is a figure of merit used to describe signal quality. It does this by measuring the difference on the I/Q plane between the ideal constellation point of the given symbol versus the actual measured point. It can be measured in dB or % of the ideal sub-symbol, normalized to the average QAM power received, and display constellation of symbols vs ideal symbol. The EVM vs Symbol or EVM vs Time gives the EVM of OFDM symbols present in the number of symbols considered or the time within a slot.

For automated testing, SCPI remote interfaces are available to accelerate design, which enables the quick transition to the design verification and manufacturing phases.

LTE FDD and TDD base station transmitter RF testing

Option SV28 enables the following LTE measurements:

  • Cell ID

  • Channel Power

  • Occupied Bandwidth (OBW)

  • Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR)

  • Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM)

  • Transmitter Off Power for TDD

  • Reference Signal Power

There are four presets to accelerate pre-compliance testing and determine the Cell ID. These presets are defined as Cell ID, ACLR, SEM, Channel Power and TDD Toff Power. The measurements follow the definition in 3GPP TS Version 12.5 and support all base station categories, including picocells and femtocells. Pass/Fail information is reported and all channel bandwidths are supported.

The Cell ID preset displays the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in a Constellation diagram. It also provides Frequency Error and Reference Signal (RS) Power.

The ACLR preset measures the E-UTRA and the UTRA adjacent channels, with different chip rates for UTRA. ACLR also supports Noise Correction based on the noise measured when there is no input. Both ACLR and SEM will operate in swept mode (default) or in faster single acquisition if the instrument has enough acquisition bandwidth.
