Simplify LTE, LTE-Advanced, and LTE-Advanced Pro Signal Creation  

Keysight Technologies, Inc. Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. 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 basic 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  

More advanced capabilities operate in real-time mode, which is used to define the parameters of nonrepeating and dynamically changing signals needed for receiver testing. Its graphical interface provides a direct instrument connection for parameter transfer and closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.

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.
