Tektronix adds 5G capabilities to oscilloscopes
Tektronix has announced the release of its SignalVu 5G NR analysis software for 6 Series B MSO oscilloscopes. Engineers can now perform critical 5G NR measurements per 3GPP specifications on the oscilloscopes they rely on to bring-up and characterize new electronic designs.
除RF信号外，RF系统设计人员首选6系B MSO示波器，用于查看电源轨，数字控制总线和I/O信号。每个通道都有一个数字下调器的支持，该数字下调器可以使频谱分析与时域波形同步。这为工程师提供了构成其设计的信号编排的时间连接视图。5G系统设计人员现在可以在Tektronix示波器中添加5G NR信号分析，这使他们能够过快地诊断出单个示波器上的信号相互作用，否则这些示波器否则需要在多种仪器之间进行艰苦的相关性。
除了提供多种信号的同步视图外，6系列B MSO还提供了5G信号分析所需的宽捕获带宽和低固有噪声。在示波器上提供这种性能可减少对昂贵的专用矢量信号分析仪的需求。
“With the integration of 5G NR, users have complete system visibility in a single instrument enabling them to debug even the most complex of designs, aligning with future specifications,” said Chris Witt, VP and GM of Portfolio Solutions at Tektronix.
The new analysis package enables pass/fail testing of the 5G NR physical layer to qualify transmitter designs per the 5G NR standard established under the 3GPP release of 15/16 test specifications. It includes important signal quality measurements such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Adjacent Channel Power (ACP), Spectral Emission Mask (SEM), and Power Versus Time (PVT).
Tektronix使用NI（以前是国家仪器）开发的算法开发了新的5G NR分析软件包，该算法是自动测试和测量的公认市场领导者。
“NI worked with Tektronix to provide multiple ways to trigger, capture, analyze, and diagnose complex 5G integration and design problems not normally available with a traditional VSA,” said Josh Mueller, SVP and GM of Portfolio Business. “Integrating NI’s 5G algorithms within SignalVu vector signal analysis (VSA) software to run on the Tektronix oscilloscopes and signal analyzers will enable new value in customer workflows.”
The 5G NR PHY-layer solution based on the Tektronix 6 Series B MSO offers significant advantages over traditional signal analyzers with wide signal analysis up to 2 GHz and low instrument noise for accurate EVM measurements.
For high frequency systems, such as FR2, the 5GNR analysis option is also available on the DPO70000SX which offers up to 70 GHz bandwidth. For engineers using real-time signal analyzers, the 5GNR option is also available for the Tektronix RSA500 and RSA5000 Series. The software operates identically on oscilloscopes and signal analyzers, eliminating the need to learn a new toolset.
The SignalVu 5GNR Signal Analysis option is now available globally for 6 Series B MSO oscilloscopes, DPO70000SX oscilloscopes, and RSA500 and RSA5000 signal analyzers.
