Evolving technologies and new, advanced standards demand more
precise and cleaner signal sources with the lowest possible phase
noise and jitter to support higher frequencies and data bandwidths
and rates. However, testing and evaluating the phase noise and
jitter of the signal sources for these applications often requires
a very complex setup with multiple instruments, which consumes a
lot of time. RF engineers also need to make other measurements such
as frequency and power transient measurements as well as spectrum
analysis to fully characterize signal sources such as synthesizers,
clocks, and oscillators. In addition, engineers may need to measure
the residual phase noise of active devices used in signal and data
transmission paths.
The new higher frequency models of the Keysight SSA-X Signal
Source Analyzer series address these challenges in these advanced
applications with an all-in-one platform that includes a very clean
signal enabled through a direct digital synthesis (DDS) source and
proprietary cross-correlation channels.
The new Keysight SSA-X series of signal source analyzers provide
the following benefits:
- Integrated, one-box solution – Provides comprehensive
signal source analysis including phase noise measurement, residual
noise measurement, transient measurement, spectrum analysis,
network analysis, and voltage controlled oscillators (VCO)
characterization in a single box. The built-in, clean signal source
operating at up to 54 GHz and two RF inputs enable residual noise
measurements without additional equipment and re-configuration. Two
pairs of local oscillator (LO) output and intermediate frequency
(IF) input ports and Keysight’s new E5051AW phase noise measurement
downconverter/phase detector enable millimeter-wave phase noise
measurements at higher than 54 GHz. A 2-port vector network
analyzer (VNA) can be incorporated as an option to eliminate the
need to purchase a standalone VNA.
- Best-in-class phase noise sensitivity – Provides
accurate absolute and residual phase noise measurements with using
extremely-low-phase-noise internal LOs and RF source.
- Easy-to-use, with flexible software – Enables quick,
multiple measurements with a single connection and an easy-to-use
interface. Application software has been enhanced to address more
measurement needs, including spectrum analyzer and precision clock
jitter analysis.
- Precision clock jitter analysis – Offers accurate random
jitter (RJ) and periodic jitter (PJ) measurements in the time and
frequency domain. SSA-X can measure jitter with 20% higher
sensitivity than the SSA and has the sensitivity of 2 femto seconds
at 10 GHz for advanced high-speed digital communication
applications.
Joe Rickert, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight
High Frequency Measurements Center of Excellence, said: “The
SSA-X series of signal source analyzers provides RF engineers an
integrated, one-box solution that provides phase noise and jitter
measurement solutions for advanced communications and high-speed
digital applications. With the addition of three new models
covering frequencies up to 54 GHz, the SSA-X series enables more
accurate and higher quality evaluations that accelerate
time-to-market of cutting edge technologies.”
