Summary:
If you design devices that use IQ modulation in a spectrum that is getting more crowded with interference, then testing your devices via signal simulation is critical. You need to generate high-quality signals and be able to easily add real-world impairments to the signal to test the operation of your designs. Now you can combine two low-cost Keysight instruments to create an RF vector signal generator at a fraction of the cost of off-the-shelf vector signal generators. Use a 2-channel 33522B or 33622A waveform generator with Trueform technology that offers excellent baseband IQ signal generation and a N9310 RF signal generator with optional IQ inputs as the RF modulator.
In this webcast, we will describe Keysight’s Trueform series of waveform generators with the IQ Signal Player option for generating IQ signals. We will first discuss the 33500 and 33600 Series performance and how the exclusive Trueform waveform generation technology can help you produce accurate IQ signals. We will then look at the 33500 and 33600 Series’ built-in features for simulating non-ideal conditions, impairments, on an IQ signal to verify the operation of your designs.
