The MIMO PXI Vector Signal Analyser Released by Agilent

Published:2012/3/30 2:03:00 Author:Li xiao na From:SeekIC

A wideband MIMO PXI vector signal analyser with the highest signal analysis bandwidth has been released by Agilent Technologies. This analyser is designed for validation of MIMO 802.11ac designs, which can carry out 80+80MHz SISO, and 80MHz or 160MHz or 160MHz MIMO 802ac measurements.

However, supplier attaches much importance on future wireless LAN standards and has designed the analyser with a 780MHz signal bandwidth. Four channels in a single PXIe classis enable the solution to provide analysis capabilities for up to 4x4 MIMO in a 4U form factor M9018A chassis. This wideband, multichannel instrument is equipped with new broadband modulation, MIMO schemes and electronic beam forming to address test challenges in the design and validation phases of project. Moreover, this solution is unique in providing up to 780MHz of acquisition bandwidth to cover both today’s and tomorrow’s communication systems.

The wideband MIMO PXI vector signal analyzer is composed of Agilent’s M9362A-D01 four-channel downconverter, M9202A 12-bit digitizer, M9302A LO, M9168C RF attenuator, and the M9352A IF amplifier/attenuator modules for one to four measurement channels.
