Broadest Multi-Format Coverage

EXM delivers fast and accurate measurements using high-throughput manufacturing

applications for cellular and wireless connectivity devices. These feature-rich applica-

tions allow you to choose the capabilities you need and help ensure you achieve your

manufacturing test goals for today’s multi-format devices.

X-Series measurement applications

Based on the library of industry-proven X-Series measurement applications for benchtop

signal analyzers the X-Series cellular and wireless connectivity applications are tailored

for the EXM. True to the traditions of X-Series products, each application allows you

to characterize, troubleshoot, and rapidly create test code for the manufacture of your

design.

For cellular communications measurement, these applications cover a full range of

technologies — from existing 2G/3G systems to evolving 3.5G and 4G communication

systems. These measurement applications are based on the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards,

and closely follow standards as they change, allowing you to stay on the leading edge of

your design and manufacturing challenges.

The wireless connectivity measurement applications cover a full range of technologies,

including 802.11a/b/g/n/j/p/ac, WLAN MIMO, Bluetooth 1.0 to 4.2, ZigBee, WiSUN

(MR-FSK), and Mobile WiMAX.

Giving you added flexibility, you can choose from two product categories of EXM

X-Series applications for cellular and wireless communication technologies:

V90xxB

These applications cover transmit measurements only. They allow you to use the 150

waveform slots included with each EXM for output of specific test waveforms. If addi-

tional waveforms are needed, additional slots can be purchased in 5-pack or 50-pack

quantities.

Y90xxB

These applications provide the transmit measurements as well as the ability to play

unlimited waveforms for the technology purchased, eliminating any maximum waveform

Signal Studio applications

Keysight Signal Studio helps you simplify signal creation for receiver measurement and

it is the benchmark for test stimuli in the cellular industry. Signal Studio is a comprehen-

sive suite of 2G, 3G, and 4G-compliant solutions. These applications address current and

emerging standards with tools that reduce the time you spend on signal creation and

simulation while providing a high degree of flexibility in waveform creation.

EXM measurement applications available by cellular and wireless technology are

summarized in Tables 1 thru 4.

1. Receiver test waveforms may be played through EXM’s source ARB function to make the receiver

measurements that are available in the chipset being tested. Waveforms may be provided by the

chipset provider, generated by the user through Keysight Signal Studio software, or using any of

several third-party software programs.
