Signal Studio for Broadcast Radio N7611C  

Technical Overview

– Create Keysight validated and performance optimized reference signals compliant with FM Stereo/RDS, DAB, DAB+, T-DMB, and XM standards

– Generate ARB waveforms and real-time signals for XM – Independently configure multi-carriers/multi-channels for up to 12 carriers

– Add real-time fading, AWGN, and interferers

– Accelerate the signal creation process with a user interface based on parameterized and graphical signal configuration and tree-style navigation

Simplify Broadcast Radio Signal Creation

Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. For broadcast radio standards including FM Stereo/ RDS, DAB, DAB+, T-DMB, and XM, Signal Studio’s performance-optimized 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 advanced capabilities use waveform playback mode to create and customize waveform files needed to test components and transmitters. Its user-friendly interface lets you configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms and download files for playback.  

The applications for these partially-coded, 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 set up 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.
