89601B-BHC RFID Modulation Analysis

Signal analysis

• Standards supported: EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 (ISO 18000-6 Type C); ISO 18000-4 Mode-1; ISO 18000-6 Type-A1; ISO 18000-6 Type-B1; ISO 18092 (106, 212, and 424 kbps, for passive and active targets); ISO 14443 Type A (106, 212, 424, 848 kbps); ISO 14443 Type B (106, 212, 424, 848 kbps); ISO 15693 (Low/High Rate)
• Formats (auto-detect): forward (interrogator), return (tag)
• Modulation formats: DSB-ASK, SSB-ASK, PR-ASK, FSK-2, OOK

Measurements

• CW: rise time, overshoot, undershot, settling time, fall time, start to burst, end to next CW
• Demodulation results: demod bits, hex bits, magnitude error, error time
• Pre-demodulation: time, spectrum, CCDF, PDF, CDF

License

• Transportable license: resides on your PC/instrument, can be transported to another PC/instrument at any time
• Also available as a Floating license: shared on a network server to be accessed by multiple users, one at a time

The 89600 VSA software is your window into what’s happening inside complex wireless devices. Option BHC provides a multitude of measurements, error information, and multiple displays for analysis and troubleshooting RFID PHY layer performance.

• Frequency - center frequency, power, occupied bandwidth, ACPR, spur search to 26 GHz
• Time - CW rise/fall time, over/under shoot, settling time
• Modulation - modulation depth, modulation index, tari D0/D1, bit rate, frequency error, ASK error, turnaround time
• Automatic burst identification and link direction detection, with visual markers for easy, at-a-glance viewing
• Trigger magnitude hold-off type (above/below) for more reliable triggering
• Time domain statistics, error traces, and burst timing relationship table provide detailed signal troubleshooting information
• Choose from burst modulation analysis, CW analysis, or both

This option can be added as a product upgrade.
