HP / Keysight / Agilent 89611A Overview
The Agilent 89600 series PC-based vector signal analyzers (VSAs) are noted for their cutting-edge digital signal processing features, particularly for emerging communications standards. You can take advantage of these features by using your own downconverter to provide an IF signal at a nominal 70 MHz to the 89611A. The 89611A performs digitization of the IF signal and signal recording, and its software gives you full access to a wide range of vector signal analysis tools. Along with wide IF bandwidths (36 MHz), this family of VSAs offers signal capture memory, IF triggering, a wide variety of analog and digital demodulators, and an extensive set of time, frequency and modulation analysis tools. You can analyze a wide variety of standard and non-standard signal formats. Twenty-three standard signal presets cover GSM, GSM (EDGE), cdmaOne, cdma2000, W-CDMA, 802.11a, 802.11b, HiperLAN1, HiperLAN2 and more. For emerging standards, these VSAs offer 24 digital demodulators with variable center frequency, symbol rate, filter type and alpha/BT. A user-adjustable adaptive equalizer is also provided. You can also perform time domain analysis on your designs. Evaluate pulse shape with the Main Time display, select specific portions of a burst for demodulation or other analysis with the Time Gating feature, and use statistical tools like CCDF and CDF to characterize the noise-like behavior of your modern communications signals. Please see specifications sheet for additional information.
