Vector Signal Analysis Software for PC
SignalVu-PC Datasheet
SignalVu-PC vector signal analysis software helps you easily validate
wideband designs. Using the signal analysis engine of the
RSA5000/6000 Series and RSA306 USB real-time signal analyzers on your
computer or Windows tablet, you can now move your analysis of
acquisitions off the instrument, and anywhere. Whether your design
validation needs include wideband radar, high data rate satellite links,
wireless LAN or frequency-hopping communications, SignalVu-PC vector
signal analysis software can speed your time-to-insight by showing you the
time-variant behavior of these wideband signals.

Capture with a variety of tools
Capture once - make multiple measurements without recapturing. Using
oscilloscopes, up to four channels can be captured simultaneously; each of
which can be independently analyzed by SignalVu-PC software. Channels
can be RF, I and Q, or differential inputs. You can also apply math
functions to the acquisition before analysis by SignalVu-PC. Acquisition
lengths vary depending upon the selected capture bandwidth: full-
bandwidth acquisitions can range from 1 ms to 25 ms depending upon
model and option selections. Real-time signal analyzer captures range from
up to 7.15 seconds at maximum acquisition bandwidth to several hours at
reduced bandwidths.
Once captured into memory, SignalVu provides detailed analysis in multiple
domains. The spectrogram display (left panel) shows the frequency of an
800 MHz wide LFM pulse changing over time. By selecting the point in time
in the spectrogram during the On time of the pulse, the chirp behavior can
be seen as it sweeps from low to high (lower right panel).
Live Link with the MDO4000B
With the Live Link option (Option CON), SignalVu-PC extends the
functionality of the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope MDO4000B and turns it into
the industry's only 1 GHz Vector Signal Analyzer. SignalVu-PC controls the
MDO4000B RF section, acquires the vector-calibrated I/Q data, and makes
wide-band, time-correlated, multi-domain measurements. You can analyze,
correlate and troubleshoot issues in time, frequency, phase, amplitude, and
even modulation without having to sweep since you can acquire up to
1 GHz of bandwidth in one shot. You can leverage the MDO4000B
triggering capability and extend your debugging work into system-level
troubleshooting of your embedded RF devices.
Analyze
SignalVu-PC vector signal analysis software uses the same analysis
capabilities found in the RSA5000 and RSA6000 Series real-time signal
analyzers.
Time-correlated measurements can be made of frequency, phase,
amplitude, and modulation versus time. This is ideal for signal analysis that
includes frequency hopping, pulse characteristics, modulation switching,
settling time, bandwidth changes, and intermittent signals.
Acquisitions from the RSA306 Spectrum Analyzer and all Tektronix MDO/
MSO/DPO Series oscilloscopes, including the spectrum analyzer in the
Mixed Domain Oscilloscope can be analyzed with SignalVu-PC, adding
deep analysis capabilities to these broadband acquisition systems. Signals
acquired with RSAs and Specmon can also be analyzed with all of the post-
acquisition analysis capabilities of those instruments.
Time-correlated, multi-domain view provides a new level of insight into
design or operational problems not possible with conventional analysis
solutions. Here, the hop patterns of a narrowband signal can be observed
using Spectrogram (lower left) and its hop characteristics can be precisely
measured with Frequency vs Time display (upper left). The time and
frequency responses can be observed in the two views on the right as the
signal hops from one frequency to the next. All of the analysis shown above
is available in the free base version of SignalVu-PC.

Options tailored for your wideband
applications
The basic SignalVu-PC enables spectrum analysis, RF power and
statistics, spectrograms, amplitude, frequency and phase vs. time, and
analog modulation measurements. Options are available for WLAN, settling
time, audio, modulation, pulse, and OFDM analysis.
Wideband satellite and point-to-point microwave links can be directly
observed with SignalVu-PC analysis software. Here, General Purpose
Digital Modulation Analysis (Option SVM) is demodulating a 16QAM
backhaul link running at 312.5 MS/s.
Settling time measurements (Option SVT) are easy and automated. The
user can select measurement bandwidth, tolerance bands, reference
frequency (auto or manual), and establish up to 3 tolerance bands vs. time
for Pass/Fail testing. Settling time may be referenced to external or internal
trigger, and from the last settled frequency or phase. In the illustration,
frequency settling time for a hopped oscillator is measured from an external
trigger point from the device under test.
WLAN transmitter testing
With the WLAN measurement options, you can perform standards-based
transmitter measurements in the time, frequency, and modulation domains.
Option SV23 supports IEEE 802.11a, b, g, j and p signals
Option SV24 supports 802.11n 20 MHz and 40 MHz SISO signals
Option SV25 802.11ac 20/40/80/160 MHz SISO signals

SignalVu-PC vs. SignalVu SignalVu for oscilloscopes is a separate product made to run directly on Tektronix performance oscilloscopes. SignalVu directly
controls the acquisition settings of the oscilloscopes and automatically transfers data from the oscilloscope acquisition channel to
the SignalVu software.
SignalVu-PC runs on a separate PC. Files from oscilloscopes and signal analyzers can be opened and analyzed. SignalVu-PC
does not communicate with the acquisition instrument or control its acquisition settings.
21 .TIQ files can be created on performance oscilloscopes with SignalVu installed. SignalVu is a separate product from SignalVu-PC.
22 The MDO RF channel saves waveforms in the .TIQ format. MDO oscilloscope waveforms are stored in .ISF format.
