Agilent Signal Studio is a suite of flexible, easy-to-use, PC-based signal creation software

that will cut the time you spend on signal simulation. Signal Studio provides an Agilent

validated and performance optimized reference signal to better characterize, evaluate, and

fine-tune your designs under parametric and functional test conditions.

Our broad set of Signal Studio software enables the generation of a wide range of

application-specific test signals, at baseband, RF, and microwave frequencies using the

Agilent MXG, ESG, PSG vector signal generators, and the PXB baseband generator and

channel emulator. Whether working on a single radio format or integrating multiple voice,

data, and video formats into your wireless devices, Signal Studio delivers a solution to

validate and help make your third-party interoperability possible.

Signal Studio complements the general-purpose capabilities of the MXG, ESG, PSG, and

PXB and offers a cost effective means of tailoring these vector signal generators to your

application-specific design, development, and production test needs for modern radio

transceivers and the components that comprise them. And, with a demonstrated first-to-

market track record, Agilent’s Signal Studio continues to help you stay at the forefront of

product development as wireless systems continue to evolve.

Signal Studio software provides an appli-

cation-specific user-interface that enables

you to intuitively create standard-based

and custom test signals. It offers two

levels of capability to meet your specific

requirements:

• BASIC capabilities that enable you

to create partially coded, statistically

correct signals for stimulus/response

measurements

◦ Component level parametric test –

e.g. amplifiers, modulators, filters,

etc.

◦ Tx/Rx RF sub-system performance

verification - e.g. Tx/Rx RF front end

• ADVANCED capabilities to create fully

channel coded signals for receiver BER/

FER/BLER/PER analysis

◦ Baseband subsystem coding verifica-

tion – e.g. ASICs, DSPs, etc.

◦ Rx performance verification and

functional evaluation - e.g. Rx RF/BB

integration, system level test

The Signal Studio user interface simplifies

signal creation with familiar tree-style

navigation of the signal structure and an

efficient graphical interface to set up signal

parameters. Calibrated signal impairments

are easily added to evaluate receiver

tolerance to dirty transmitter and channel

effects. To simplify setup, well-located

configuration hints are optionally displayed

next to the signal parameter of interest and

signals are graphically displayed to verify

setup prior to generation.

Connecting to the MXG, ESG, and PSG

vector signal generators over GPIB or LAN

is facilitated with the hardware connection

wizard; signal generator control is conve-

niently provided directly from the Signal

Studio user-interface. For programmatic

automation, an application programming

interface that exposes all the signal creation

and generation parameters of the software

is available with most Signal Studio products.

Alternatively, the waveforms created by

Signal Studio can be downloaded and

stored locally on the MXG, ESG, and PSG

signal generators and played back from

the front panel or programmatically played

back using SCPI commands.

Online documentation and

embedded HELP

For detailed information on each Signal

Studio product, install the software and

refer to the comprehensive set of online

documentation and embedded HELP

accessible directly from the Signal Studio

user interface or access it on the web at
