now with 5G NR, Wi-Fi 8, FlexFrame & More
Development becomes more complex when faster data rates intersect with today’s crowded spectral environment. Finding a signal problem is essential, but achieving the clarity to pinpoint the answer is the crucial challenge.
Keysight Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software is a comprehensive set of tools for demodulation and vector signal analysis. These tools enable you to explore virtually every facet of a signal and optimize your most advanced designs. As you assess the tradeoffs, the Keysight Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) helps you see through the complexity.
Discover signal analysis software tools to explore every facet of a signal and optimize your designs. Measure a broad range of signals including 5G, IoT, radar and more. Gain greater insight in frequency, time and modulation domains. Compatible with signal analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes and many more test instruments.
