Agilent introduces a combination of solutions that tightly integrate the digital signal capture power of Agilent's logic analyzers with Agilent 89600 Series VSA (vector signal analysis) software, a tool for radio frequency (RF) signal analysis. The result is a digital vector signal analysis measurement system that delivers modulation measurements on the digitized communication signals found in today's DSP-based radio transceivers used in cell phones, basestations, satellite and military communications systems, and radar applications. Digitized transmit and receive signals found on data buses between the baseband and RF blocks of digital radio applications can be analyzed in the time, frequency, and modulation domains within a logic analyzer just as if they were in full analog form. This allows a view into circuit behavior at the digital interface between the baseband and RF integrated circuits. The solution allows designers to apply the full power of a vector signal analyzer to waveforms while they are still on the data buses in digitized form. It also provides a unified user interface within the logic analyzer that allows baseband and RF teams to share the same measurements and more easily solve cross-domain problems.
