Simplify Short Range Communications Signal Creation
Keysight Technologies, Inc. Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation
tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. For short range communications such as IoT and M2M, Signal Studio’s performance-optimized reference signals
- validated by Keysight - enhance the characterization and verification of your devices.
Through its application-specific user-interface you’ll create standards-based and custom test signals for component, transmitter, and receiver test.
Component and transmitter test
Signal Studio’s basic capabilities use 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 partially coded, statistically correct signals
include:
–– Parametric test of components, such as amplifiers and filter
–– Performance characterization and verification of RF sub-systems
Receiver test
Signal Studio’s advanced capabilities enable you to create fully channel-coded signals
for receiver bit-error-rate (BER), block-error-rate (BLER), packet-error-rate (PER), or
frame error rate (FER) analysis. Applications include:
–– Performance verification and functional test of receivers, during RF/baseband
inte¬gration and system verification
–– Coding verification of baseband subsystems, including FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs
More advanced capabilities operate in real-time mode, which is used to define the parameters of non-repeating and dynamically changing signals needed for receiver testing.
A graphical user interface provides a direct instrument connection for parameter transfer
and closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation.
Apply your signals in real-world testing
Once you have setup your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety
of Keysight instruments and software platforms. Signal Studio software complements
these platforms by providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to your test needs in
design, development and production test.

Component and Transmitter Test
Figure 1. Generate fully channel-coded signals to evaluate ZigBee receiver PER with a Keysight
MXG vector signal generator and the N7610B-SFP option for ZigBee advanced capabilities.
Most short range communication technologies are implemented in small, low-cost IC
forms or complete drop-in modules. Whether you’re using single technology formats,
such as ZigBee, or multi-format combination modules with WLAN, Bluetooth® and
ZigBee, Signal Studio software provides a flexible suite of signal-creation tools to reduce
receiver testing time on chip-set design, validation and troubleshooting. Combined with
Keysight signal generators, the N7610B provides performance-optimized reference
signals to enhance the characterization and verification of Devices Under Test (DUTs).
Through its application-specific user interface, engineers can create standards-based
and custom test signals for component and receiver tests.
The N7610B consists of different options that provide advanced capabilities to address
applications defined in IEEE 802.15.4 for ZigBee O-QPSK/BPSK, 802.15.4g for Wi-SUN
MR-FSK and MR-OFDM, and ITU-T G.9959 for Z-Wave FSK/GFSK. Use the baseband
signal to perform demodulation and decoding verification on chips. To thoroughly test
the demodulation capabilities of a module, a fully-coded test signal is necessary. This
level of coding enables engineer to determine if each functional stage of a receiver is
operating correctly and enables the use of the test signal to perform Packet Error Rate
(PER) measurements.
The N7610B’s graphical user interface provides a direct instrument connection for parameter transfer and closed-loop or interactive control during signal generation. After a
signal is set up in Signal Studio, it can be downloaded into a variety of Keysight instruments. Signal Studio software complements these platforms by providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to the test needs in design, development and production test.

Key Specifications
The following performance characteristics apply to the N7610B Signal Studio for WiSUN application.
Definitions
Typical (typ): Represents characteristic performance, which 80% of the instruments
manufactured will meet. This data is not warranted, does not include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
Characteristic Performance: Non-warranted value based on testing during development
phase of this product.
The EVM measurements were made with an N9030A PXA signal analyzer with Option
B1X (160 MHz bandwidth), using the Keysight 89601B VSA software with Option AYA for
2FSK and Option BHF for MR-OFDM modulation analysis.
The ACP measurement setting for 2FSK uses the definition in section 18.1.5.6 of the
IEEE 802.15.4g-2012 standard. The ACP values for MR-OFDM are measured on the first
out-of-band channels (upper and lower), which are adjacent to the in-band channel. The
bandwidth for both the in-band and out-of-band channels are set as the Channel Spacing values defined in Table 148 of the IEEE Standard 802.15.4g-2012, i.e., 1200 kHz, 800
kHz, 400 kHz and 200 kHz for OFDM Options 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
