Engineers can use this software to turn their existing oscilloscope into a comprehensive wireless system tester, instead of having to invest in a dedicated tester such as a vector signal analyser. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring time-domain analysis with RF measurements.
The package runs on Tektronix 5 Series MSO, 6 Series MSO or DPO70000 oscilloscopes.
Version 5.4 expands the software’s multi-channel analysis capabilities, enhancing its widely utilised digital modulation analysis feature (option SVM). This latest update supports an extensive array of up to 26 wireless modulation schemes, including but not limited to nFSK, nPSK, and nQAM, introducing 1024QAM to cater to the demands of higher bandwidth applications.
By facilitating the analysis of up to eight simultaneous signal sources, SignalVu Version 5.4 not only helps to enhance users’ productivity, but it addresses the complex needs of multi-signal, multi-standard, or multi-Device Under Test (DUT) scenarios, aiding RF and wireless research and development.
Additionally, the introduction of shared-acquisition multi-signal support enables the simultaneous analysis of signals that are frequency-separated yet input through the same scope channel.
“Although most leading test and measurement competitors provide multi-channel VSA analysis, they often fail to deliver comprehensive cross-domain analysis capabilities, lack intuitive user interfaces, or come with prohibitive costs,” said Christopher White, Tektronix Director of Product Management and Performance Platforms. “Our Version 5.4 directly addresses those pressing challenges by providing advanced, user-friendly, and cost-effective analysis capabilities. Version 5.4 of SignalVu not only solves existing problems, but also significantly impacts the market by raising the standards for signal analysis tools.”
SignalVu Spectrum Analyzer software gives radio-frequency (RF) engineers and researchers in-depth analysis on RF signals, covering a wide range of applications for wireless, military and government applications, as well as microwave and loT sectors.
As an added capability to the modern oscilloscope, SignalVu enables users of MSO/DPO oscilloscopes to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex systems, such as radar, EW, SATCOM, MIMO, uplink/downlink, mesh network, and phased-array systems.
Tektronix SignalVu version 5.4 is now available globally.
