Tektronix MSO6B oscilloscope has become a top choice for RF system designers to observe power rails, digital control buses, I/O signals and RF signals.
Each channel is fitted with a digital down converter, enabling spectrum analysis synchronized with time-domain waveforms. Engineers can observe the characteristics of various design signals with time correlation.
5G system designers can now add 5G NR signal analysis functions to Tektronix oscilloscopes. Problematic signal interactions can be quickly diagnosed on a single device without the tedious work of correlating data from multiple instruments.
In addition to simultaneous multi-signal observation, the MSO6B delivers wide acquisition bandwidth and low inherent noise required for 5G signal testing. This level of performance on an oscilloscope cuts dependence on costly dedicated vector signal analyzers.
The latest analysis software supports pass/fail testing for the 5G NR physical layer. It verifies transmitter design performance in line with 5G NR standards defined by 3GPP Release 15/16 specifications.
It covers key signal quality metrics including Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Adjacent Channel Power (ACP), Spectral Emission Mask (SEM), and Power vs Time (PVT).
5G NR Physical Layer Solution for Tektronix MSO6B
The 5G NR physical layer solution built around the Tektronix MSO6B boasts remarkable advantages over traditional signal analyzers. It supports full signal analysis up to 2 GHz with low instrument noise for precise EVM measurements.
For high-frequency systems such as FR2, the 5G NR analysis option is also available for the DPO70000SX with bandwidth up to 70 GHz.
For engineers using real-time signal analyzers, this 5G NR option can be deployed on Tektronix RSA500 and RSA5000 series.
The software operates identically on oscilloscopes and signal analyzers, eliminating the need to learn new tools.
The SignalVu 5G NR signal analysis option is available worldwide for MSO6B oscilloscopes, DPO70000SX oscilloscopes, as well as RSA500 and RSA5000 signal analyzers.
