N7621B Signal Studio for Multitone Distortion

Signal creation

• Distortion free two-tone and multitone test stimulus generation
• Configure a noise power ratio (NPR) test stimulus with up to 80 MHz noise bandwidth, >60 dBc notch depth, and +/- .5 db noise flatness
• Automatically apply pre-distortion using a spectrum analyzer to enhance signal quality and minimize test uncertainty

Hardware platform control and additive impairments

• Compatible instruments: ESG, PSG and MXG signal generators
• Control frequency, amplitude, ALC, markers, triggers, and more
• Set individual instrument parameters from the software GUI or API

Automation and communication interface

• Automate test with COM or .NET API
• API-controlled waveform sequencing for smooth transition between signals
• LAN and GPIB

Other features

• Graphs: CCDF curves

Optimized multitone distortion and noise power ratio signals for narrowband components

The N7621B Signal Studio for multitone distortion simplifies the creation of multitone and noise power ratio (NPR) signals for testing narrowband components and receivers for communications systems. Generate up to 4096 discrete CW tones with multitone signals over 80 dBc third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD) or NPR test stimulus with over 60 dc notch depth. External frequency translation and gain/loss place the signal at the user’s reference plan, corrected waveforms and application settings are easily saved and reused reducing complexity and cost of test.

Generate accurate multitone and NPR signals using Agilent MXG, ESG, and PSG vector signal generators

Use with the N5182A MXG to take advantage of industry-leading performance in your manufacturing or component test applications. Use with the E4438C ESG or E8267D PSG distortion to obtain the highest performance for your RF or MW test applications in R&D.

Signal Studio supports multiple platforms

• The MXG has industry-leading performance in manufacturing or component test applications
• The ESG vector signal generators provide lower phase noise, excellent level accuracy, and digital I/Q inputs and outputs making it better suited for early receiver test.
• The PSG vector signal generators provide excellent phase noise, digital I/Q inputs for very wideband applications, and high frequency coverage to 44 GHz
• The Agilent Arbitrary Waveform Generators supply the widest bandwidth with excellent dynamic range with option N7621A
