In test system development, one of your crucial requirements is doing more in less space—but this often means tradeoffs between footprint and precision in signal analysis. That is, until now: we’ve expanded the X-Series with the CXA-m, a PXIe signal analyzer that offers fully specified performance up to 26.5 GHz. A rich set of measurement capabilities, including swept and FFT modes in the same instrument, accelerates tasks such as the identification of spurious signals and harmonics.
The CXA-m also reduces time and effort in system development. For example, it ensures seamless transitions between R&D, manufacturing and maintenance by providing compatibility with code written for Keysight’s X-Series signal analyzers and ESA spectrum analyzers. Ready-to-use drivers and SCPI commands simplify evaluation and programming.
Key Features:
- Deploy a smaller microwave footprint, no trade-off in precision: Rely on fully specified performance up to 26.5 GHz in 4 slots
- Optimize your balance between speed, sensitivity and accuracy with the choice to operate in swept or FFT modes
- Perform fast calibrated stimulus response measurement with full-band tracking generator
- Smooth the transition between R&D, manufacturing, and maintenance: CXA-m is code compatible with benchtop X-Series signal analyzers and ESA spectrum analyzers
