Keysight’s new RTSA solution will play a major role in the industry as it provides satellite communications operators with up to 2 GHz RTSA bandwidth when used in conjunction with the Keysight N9042B UXA signal analyzer.
Here’s the Story
As the satellite communications (SATCOM) industry transitions to high-throughput satellites, operators are facing an increase in satellite signals and interference.
Moreover, the auctioning of traditional SATCOM frequency bands to terrestrial wireless operators has further complicated the issue of signal interference. In order to maintain a high quality of service (QoS), satellite operators must perform real-time and accurate signal interference monitoring to detect anomalies and mitigate service degradation.
In order to address this challenge, Keysight's RTSA solution empowers the N9042B UXA signal analyzer to perform continuous and uninterrupted capture and analysis of elusive and transient signals, utilizing its industry-leading optical data interface (ODI) streaming capability of up to 2 GHz.
The real-time spectrum analysis software-based solution is designed to monitor satellite signals and interference, enabling operators to deliver the highest quality of service (QoS) to their users.
Keysight showcased the real-time spectrum monitoring capabilities of the RTSA test solution at the Satellite 2023 event, which took place from March 13-16 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., at Exhibit Hall A & B, booth 1520.
Rising Demand for Satellite Spectrum Monitoring Solutions
Potential Benefits of Real-time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA) Application Software
1. Reduced Analysis Time
Keysight's RTSA solution allows multi-threaded and parallelized RTSA measurements with up to 2 GHz bandwidth by utilizing advanced field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. This minimizes the time gap between signal processing/rendering and subsequently recapturing the signal, resulting in reduced analysis time and improved probability of intercept.
2. Support for Wide Bandwidth Analysis
With support for ODI streaming at up to 2 GHz to RAID storage, the RTSA test solution enables rapid and wide bandwidth streaming and continuous signal recording, facilitating in-depth analysis.
3. Digital Twin Innovations
Leveraging Keysight's expertise in design and emulation, the RTSA solution promotes innovation through the use of digital twins. This approach accelerates the design and testing of satellite payloads, reduces prototyping costs, and speeds up time-to-market.
4. Runs on Proven Keysight Technology
The RTSA solution is designed to run seamlessly on the N9042B UXA signal analyzer, an industry-leading device for testing millimeter-wave performance in various domains, including 5G, satellite communications, and radar.
When combined with other powerful tools such as the V3050A Frequency Extender, U9361 RCal Receiver Calibrator, M9484B VXG Signal Generator, and PathWave X-Series and PathWave Vector Signal Analysis measurement applications, the N9042B UXA analyzer offers real-time spectrum analysis bandwidth of up to 2 GHz and streaming bandwidth of up to 2 GHz for satellite communication systems.
Conclusion
By manufacturing a robust satellite spectrum monitoring system, Keysight has yet again established itself as a brand by pushing the boundaries of system performance in the satellite communication industry.
Moreover, by partnering with Keysight, satellite network operators can leverage the company's system-level modeling software and radio link emulation capabilities to harness the potential of digital twins, thereby reducing risks, lowering costs, and expediting system development.
