Replicate RF Environments in the Lab

Capturing real-world signals from defined locations allows repeatable playback and analysis at your convenience
Predicting Performance in a Crowded Spectrum
The ability to prove performance early in any program allows extra time for coursecorrection, giving you the confidence to keep your project on track.
As the electromagnetic spectrum becomes progressively more crowded, it is increasingly difficult to define and simulate test environments that represent realworld scenarios. Testing in the field can be both time-consuming and expensive, with little probability of replicating specific vulnerabilities and less chance of investigating the root-cause of a problem.
Prove Coexistence Under Realistic Conditions
Now you can expose your design models and early prototypes to the diverse environments they would not otherwise encounter until deployed in the field. Applications include:
• Recording interference at a specific location, such as a satellite ground-station.
• Compatibility testing of co-located services like radar, 5G and WiFi
• Replicating ISM or other frequency bands in a busy environment such as a train station, airport or
sporting venue.
Keysight provides the ability to capture, analyze and re-create your choice of environment and use different scenarios repeatably in the lab as part of your performance test suite.

High Performance Signal Replay
Signal quality is an important aspect of record and playback solutions. The Keysight Z2082E-420 addresses many of the common playback quality issues, such as signal images, by using a vector signal generator (M9383A) which is corrected from digital data through to the RF output.
Conclusion
Crowded spectrum represents a challenge for radio coexistence and systems performance. Design validation benefits from both simulating the RF environment and exposure to real-world signals. The ability to do this in the lab, in a controlled and repeatable way, provides confidence early in the design-cycle.
