N7606B Signal Studio for Bluetooth®

Technical Overview

• Create Keysight validated and performance optimized reference signals compliant to Bluetooth BR (basic rate), EDR (enhanced data rate), LE (low energy) 4.0, LE 4.2 (longer packet length), LE 5.0 (higher data rate and longer range)
• Utilize fully-coded Bluetooth packets and modulated data streams for both basic and enhanced data rates
• Support data length extension to 255 bytes for Bluetooth LE 4.2
• Support 2Ms/s symbol rate for higher data rate and channel coding for long range forBluetooth LE 5.0
• Use dirty transmitter test setup for receiver sensitivity tests with DHx, 2-DHx, 2-EVx, 3-DHx and 3-EVx packet types
• Accelerate the signal creation process with a user interface based on parameterized and graphical signal configuration and tree-style navigation

Simplify Bluetooth Signal Creation

Keysight Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation tools that will reducethe time you spend on signal simulation. For Bluetooth, Signal Studio’s performanceoptimized reference signals—validated by Keysight—enhance the characterization and verification of your devices. Through its application-specific user-interface you’ll create standards-based and custom test signals for component, transmitter, and receiver test.

Component and transmitter test

Signal Studio’s basic capabilities use waveform playback mode to create and customize waveform files needed to test components and transmitters. Its userfriendly interface lets you configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms and download files for playback. The applications for these partiallycoded, statistically correct signals include

• Parametric test of components, such as amplifiers and filters
• Performance characterization and verification of RF sub-systems

Receiver test

Signal Studio’s advanced capabilities enable you to create fully channel-coded signals for receiver bit-error-rate (BER), block-error-rate (BLER), packet-error-rate (PER), or frame error rate (FER) analysis. Applications include

• Performance verification and functional test of receivers, during RF/baseband integration and system verification
• Coding verification of baseband subsystems, including FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs

Apply your signals in real-world testing

Once you have setup your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety of Keysight instruments. Signal Studio software complements these platforms by providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to your test needs in design, development and production test.

Component and Transmitter Test

Signal Studio enables you to create and customize Bluetooth waveforms to characterize the power and modulation performance of your components. The simple user interface allows you to create standards-based Bluetooth packets and modulated data streams for Bluetooth BR (basic rate), EDR (enhanced data rate), LE (low energy) 4.0, 4.2 (longer packet length), 5.0 (higher data rate and longer range).

• Create signals for ACLR, channel power, spectral mask, and spurious testing
• Set parameters such as channel power, link type and modulation type for modulation verification and analysis, such as EVM tests
• View CCDF, spectrum and time domain graphs to investigate the effects of power ramps, modulation formats, power changes, and other effects on device performance
