02 | Keysight | Signal Studio for GSM/EDGE/Evo N7602B - Technical Overview
Simplify GSM EDGE and EDGE Evolution Signal
Creation
Keysight Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation tools that will reduce
the time you spend on signal simulation. For GSM, EDGE and EDGE Evolution, Signal
Studio’s performance-optimized reference signals—validated by Keysight—enhance the
characterization and verification of your devices. Through its application-specific user-
interface you’ll create standards-based and custom test signals for component, trans-
mitter, and receiver test.
Component and transmitter test
Signal Studio’s basic capabilities use waveform playback mode to create and customize
waveform files needed to test components and transmitters. Its user friendly interface
lets you configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms and download
files for playback. The applications for these partially coded, statistically correct signals
include:
–– Parametric test of components, such as amplifiers and filters
–– Performance characterization and verification of RF sub-systems
Receiver test
Signal Studio’s advanced capabilities enable you to create fully channel-coded signals
for receiver bit-error-rate (BER), block-error-rate (BLER), packet-error-rate (PER), or
frame error rate (FER) analysis. Applications include:
–– Performance verification and functional test of receivers, during RF/baseband inte-
gration and system verification
–– Coding verification of baseband subsystems, including FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs
More advanced capabilities operate in real-time mode, which is used to define the pa-
rameters of nonrepeating and dynamically changing signals needed for receiver testing.
Its graphical interface provides a direct instrument connection for parameter transfer
and closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.
Apply your signals in real-world testing
Once you have setup your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety
of Keysight instruments and software platforms. Signal Studio software complements
these platforms by providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to your test needs in
design, development and production test.
