X-Series Signal Analyzer Enhancements

Upgrade your PXA signal analyzers with real-time spectrum analysis

The PXA is the first high-performance signal analyzer to be upgradable to real-time capabilities. You can easily add real-time capabilities to a new or existing PXA using license-key upgradability. With the PXA as the foundation, you get new levels of performance, flexibility, and usability in real-time spectrum analysis. To go deeper, you can combine a real-time PXA with the 89600 VSA software to create a solution that lets you thoroughly characterize complex signals.

Adding real-time spectrum analyzer capabilities to your PXA lets you see, capture, and understand the most elusive signals - known or unknown. Learn more details about the real-time spectrum analyzer.

MXA and EXA signal analyzers now include Windows 7 operating system

• Greater than ~12.6 GB virtual memory with 8 GB RAM allows for all existing applications to be loaded at one time
• For new instruments, Windows 7 and a 64-bit processor are now standard
• Optional downgrade to Windows XP (for a limited time at no charge)
• For existing instruments, upgrade to Windows 7 and 64-bit processor is available
• Familiar user interface
• SCPI command available to query the OS (WinXP or Win7)
• IPv6 capable

mmW EXA now has 40 MHz analysis bandwidth available

• Superior accuracy achieved with excellent flatness performance across the 40 MHz bandwidth (up to 2 GB capture memory) for up to 44 GHz carrier frequency
