The Aeroflex Broadband Signal Analyzer and Recorder (BSA) seriesprovides the widest bandwidth and deepest memory RF/baseband signal analysers available. The BSA combines broadband RF downconverters, wide
bandwidth high dynamic range ADCs and very deep high speed memory with
powerful DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR-based signal analyser software. The new F-Series BSA provides
enhanced performance and capabilities, with dual-Xeon processors, gigabit
Ethernet, deeper memory, larger removable disk storage, fast memory to disk
transfers, and RAID options. The BSA instruments have bandwidths of up to
600 MHz and full bandwidth signal memory configurations up to 150 seconds
(to 150 minutes with optional RAID). The bandwidth, memory depth and
dynamic range make the BSA an essential tool for broadband satellite,
broadband wireless network, agile radio, jammer, and radar test. The DSP
software analyzes both real time signal inputs and signals captured into BSA
signal memory. Digital acquisition and processing achieve the highest fidelity,
accuracy and repeatability. Signals recorded into memory can be saved to
multiple medias; internal or removable hard drives, DVD-R/W drives, and
RAID systems. Recorded signals can be imported into Aeroflex's Broadband
Signal generators and played back. Powerful and flexible data visualization
allows simultaneous plotting of the signal in frequency, time and modulation
domains. Measurement and analysis software packages include digital
spectrum analysis, channelized signal power and ACPR, demodulation and
analysis (PSK/QAM, FSK/MSK, OOK and ASK, AM, FM, and PM), NPR,
radar pulse parameters, signal-specific agile radio and SATCOM signal
analysis. Robust PSK and QAM (burst and continuous) signal demodulation
includes measurements of EVM, eye diagrams, symbol rate, and carrier
frequency, along with symbols written to files. Radar and agile radio analysis
includes rise and fall time, pulse width, pulse repetition interval, carrier
frequency, modulation on pulse, and bits. Parameters for each hop or burst are
written to an ASCII-format file for incorporation into reports and use in further
analysis. The multi-threaded analysis software allows simultaneous analysis of
signals with multiple analysis functions, providing tight correlation of time,
frequency and modulation measurements on the same signal space.
Parameters can be either plotted on strip charts, analyzed in real time or saved
to disk. Integrated strip charts display statistics on all measurements (min,
max, mean and standard deviation). and Recorder Celerity CS35000F Series Analyze a and r record b broadband, h high d data r rate a and f frequency a agile s signals T The B Broadband S Signal A Analyzer a and R Recorder ( (BSA) q quickly a and a accurately r records, d demodulatesand a analyzes a advanced b broadband a and f frequency a agile c communications a and r radar s signals. > •Analyze communications and radarsignals with instantaneous bandwidths
