"By adding new software analysis modules and other capabilities to the CS35000 BSA, the most powerful signal analyser in the market is now even more powerful", said Jack Anderson, Chief Technical Officer, Aeroflex Cupertino.
"With the widest bandwidth and deepest memory, our measurement systems are unmatched in the industry for testing broadband signals".
"Aeroflex Cupertino, formerly Celerity Systems, is working with the US Department of Energy's Extreme Measurement Communications Centre (EMC2) to provide equipment for capturing and generating broadband RF signals for the analysis of wireless networking technologies in industrial processes.
The role of EMC2 is to create the technological foundation to assure reliable, robust, and secure communications in harsh environment measurement systems.
This wireless DOE initiative is critical for the advancement of wireless technologies in US manufacturing, and will be helpful to other organisations such as the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA)", said Wayne Manges, Programme Manager of Industrial Wireless Technology, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
The CS35000 Series BSA includes powerful software to analyse the most demanding broadband signals with digital speed and precision.
Advanced software features and DSP-based analysis modules provide the latest tools to measure and characterise signals captured in BSA hardware or loaded from stored signal files.
In addition to the existing PSK and QAM demodulation modules, Aeroflex now offers the CS35000 Series with a wide variety of software analysis modules, allowing more in-depth analysis of broadband signals.
Engineers can measure and capture signals in the BSA with new software modules for FSK, MSK and AM/FM demodulation, for adjacent channel power and multiple channel power, for radio-specific analysis including SINCGARS and Link 16, and for statistics, EVM and symbol rates.
New BSA software features, in addition to the existing frequency spectrum display and time and modulation analysis capabilities, include parameter strip-chart display, parameter-based triggering, parameter logging, frequency-based analysis, simultaneous parameter analysis, time tagging on logged data and analysis on real-time or captured signals.
The Celerity CS35000 Series broadband signal analyser and recorder family is an essential tool for testing, analysing and monitoring high-speed communications systems and components.
The Celerity CS35000 BSA family is a modular test system that is hardware and software configurable.
Every instrument can be specified by bandwidth, dynamic range, signal memory and a wide variety of options such as frequency down-conversion, low phase noise sample clock, disk storage, multiple channels, mixed signals and remote control to match the user's need for signal acquisition, analysis and recording applications.
