1 Requires spectrum analyzer mode.
2 Use a second signal generator as interferer. CW interference (for blocking tests) can be generated using Keysight N5182A MXG or E8257D PSG Analog Signal Generator
3 Test signal is fully-coded, which enables vendor-specific PER measurements to be performe N5182B, N5172B, N5182A MXG, E4438C ESG, E8267D, E6640A, N4010A and M9381A do not perform PER measurements.
4 Thermal sensor gives true rms power reading. Peak detector under-reads peak-average result when OFDM/modulation is applied. P-series power meters offer gating for accurate power measurements on bursted signals.
5 89600 VSA software can be used with a variety of digitizers including: X-Series Signal Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, PSA Series Spectrum Analyzer, ESA-E Series Spectrum Analyzer, N4010A Wireless Connectivity Test Set.
6 Test signal is fully-coded, which enables vendor-specific Clear channel assessment to be performe. N5182B, N5172B, N5182A MXG, E4438C ESG, E8267D, E6640A, N4010A and M9381A do not perform Clear channel assessment measurements.
