Dear Sir,

 

I need help to select E4406A VSA with respect to below technical requirements. 

 

We need to do digital modulation analysis tools include constellation diagrams, EVM measurements, symbol tables, and bit pattern matching for following modulation techniques in E4406.

  • BPSK
  • DBPSK
  • QPSK
  • O-QPSK
  • FSK
  • 2-FSK
  • 4-FSK
  • 2-GFSK
  • 4-GFSK
  • DQPSK
  • OQPSK
  • π/4DQPSK
  • 8PSK
  • D8PSK
  • QAM16

 

I request you to answer my following questions.

 

  • Can we perform all digital modulation analysis in E4406A? or a few of them? Kindly guide me regarding this.
  • Which options did we require to enable us in E4406 VSA to perform digital modulation analysis for the above modulation techniques?

Correct Answer

Hi,

   based of this webpage 89600 VSA , E4406A is not sopported by this software (the latest versions of 89601A don’t have the DLL for controlling the E4406A included as standard).

 

The options for performance measurements (EVM measure and constellation diagram) are only for defined standards that you will find on this link.Option datasheet E4406A.

 

The discontinued  instrument 89441A (89410A+89431A) with option AYA have most of these possibilities: 89441A-AYA

X-serie Signal Analyzer is a good choice, or else, look at the list of instruments supported by the 89600 software 89600 VSA
