What is this webcast?
If you design devices that use IQ modulation, you face a continual bandwidth crunch in a spectrum that is filled with interference, so testing your devices via signal simulation is critical. You need to generate a high-quality, known, good signal and be able to easily add real-world distortions to the signal to test the limitations and robustness of your designs. Now you can combine two low-cost Agilent instruments to create an RF vector signal generator at a fraction of the cost of off-the-shelf vector signal generators. Use a two-channel 33522B waveform generator with unique technology that offers excellent baseband IQ signal generation and an N9310 RF signal generator with optional IQ inputs as the RF modulator.
In this webcast, we will look at 33500B Series waveform generators with the IQ Signal Player option for generating IQ signals. We will first discuss the 33500B's performance and how its exclusive Trueform waveform generation technology can help you produce more accurate signals. We will also look at how easy it is to move your IQ signals from software to a 33500B Series waveform generator for playback. Finally, we will look at the 33500B Series' built-in features for simulating quantitative non-ideal conditions on an IQ signal for testing the limits of your design
Who should view this webcast?
Designers and manufacturers of wireless communication devices who need to generate analog baseband IQ signals.
