Product Description

Product Overview

High-quality replay of previously recorded data that represents current signal environments is made possible by the Keysight S7970A playback solutions. The M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator, a small, modular device that offers frequency coverage from 1 MHz to 20 GHz or 44 GHz and up to 320 MHz of streaming modulation bandwidth, is the central component of the S7970A streaming playback solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q What is the primary function of the Keysight S7970A playback solution?

The Keysight S7970A playback solution enables high-quality streaming replay of previously captured signal data, accurately simulating complex real-world signal environments for comprehensive test and measurement.

Q What core hardware platform is utilized in the S7970A?

The solution is built around the Keysight M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator, an agile, modular platform providing wide tuning ranges and wideband streaming modulation capabilities.

Q What is the frequency coverage difference between the S7970A-020 and S7970A-044?

The S7970A-020 covers frequencies from 1 MHz to 20 GHz (Option F20), while the S7970A-044 extends frequency tuning coverage from 1 MHz up to 44 GHz (Option F44).

Q Why is the M9300A frequency reference module included in both configurations?

Option 300 supplies the M9300A frequency reference module (providing five 100 MHz outputs), which is strictly required to meet the published data sheet performance and phase accuracy specifications.

Q What modulation bandwidth and waveform playback capabilities are supported?

The system supports up to 320 MHz streaming modulation bandwidth, provides 500 MHz RF modulation bandwidth (Option C05 / C06), 1 MSample waveform memory (Option M10), and streaming long waveform playback (Option LW1).
