Keithley Instruments, Inc. (NYSE:KEI), a leader in solutions for
emerging measurement needs, has published a new poster that illustrates
the key measurement tools and software analysis techniques required
for measuring complex WiMAX signals. The poster is available at
no charge at
www.ggcomm.com/Keithley/Aug08PR_WiMAXPoster.html.
The
poster provides a clear illustration for making "easy signal creation
and analysis" of WiMAX signals, arguably the most complex modulation
scheme in the world. WiMAX signals encompass multiple technologies
into one very versatile system, including bandwidths in excess of 20MHz,
configurations with more than 2000 subcarriers, high peak-to-average
power ratios, and both SISO and MIMO radio configurations.
The
poster builds on the capabilities of a variety of new Keithley signal
creation and analysis tools that extend its RF test capabilities to
include
WiMAX signal testing. Keithley's RF test solutions are based
on the company's award-winning Model 2820 RF Vector Signal Analyzers
and Model 2920 RF Vector Signal Generators. Because these test
instruments rely on a next-generation DSP-based
Software-Defined Radio
(SDR) architecture, they are capable of making extremely high speed
measurements both thoroughly and accurately. The SDR architecture
enables Keithley's highly flexible offering with instruments that are
easy and less costly to upgrade as new wireless and cellular standards
are introduced. Keithley's test systems provide frequency coverage
from 400MHz to 4 GHz and to 6 GHz if WLAN measurements are needed.
The poster highlights the powerful RF signal analysis capabilities
included in Version 2.0 of Keithley's SignalMeister™ Waveform Creation
Software. Version 2.0 supports creation of the entire range of
signals in accordance with WiMAX and WLAN wireless connectivity standards
and 3GPP and 3GPP2 cellular standards. First introduced in mid-2007,
SignalMeister is a PC-based object-orientated waveform creation tool
that allows engineers to create highly complex signals required for
today's RF testing needs quickly and flawlessly. SignalMeister
is the only waveform creation software tool available that uses an object-oriented
graphical interface that is optimized for MIMO signals, allowing engineers
to easily create basic and complex waveforms.
