Satellite Testing and Interference Detection Challenges

应用文章

As satellite systems move to higher frequencies and wider bandwidths, the key challenges are in the characterization of the components and systems needed to meet requirements such as greater data capacity and throughput. Also, given the dramatic increase in the satellite population and the increasingly complex electromagnetic environment, detection of interference signals is emerging as a crucial capability for satellite operators and regulatory agencies. This includes the acquisition and characterization of intermittent or transient signals.

Spectrum analysis is fundamental to the design, verification and manufacturing of satellite components and systems. It’s also an essential tool for interference detection. As satellites evolve, test methodologies are also evolving beyond traditional continuous-wave (CW) tests. With a streamlined multi-touch user interface (UI), wider bandwidth and application software, the Keysight PXA X-Series signal analyzer offers the tools you need to design, test and deliver your next breakthrough in satellite communications
