Simplify Custom Signal Creation

Keysight Signal Studio for custom modulation software is a flexible suite of signal-

creation tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. 5G candidate

modulations, custom OFDM, and IQ signals can quickly and easily be generated for

component, transmitter, and receiver test of emerging standards and 5G applications.

Accelerate the definition of popular signals such as DAB, DVB-T/H, WLAN, SOQPSK, and

DVB-S2X APSK with convenient quick setups, then easily modify and customize them.

Component and transmitter test

Signal Studio uses waveform playback mode to create and customize waveform files

needed to test components and transmitters. Its user-friendly interface lets you

configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms, and download files for

playback. The applications for these test signals include parametric test of components

such as amplifiers and filters, and performance characterization and verification of RF

sub-systems.

Receiver test

Signal Studio enables you to create signals for receiver uncoded bit-error-rate (BER) for

early testing of receiver hardware.

Apply your signals in real-world testing

Once you set up your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety

of Keysight instruments. This offers flexibility in generating signals at various carrier

frequencies with different bandwidths for multiple applications. Signal Studio software

provides a cost-effective way to tailor your test equipment to your measurement needs

in design and development.
