N5106A PXB Baseband Generator and Channel Emulator

The PXB lets you customize test cases and validate designs under real-world conditions with the broadest range of test parameters. Create fully-parameterized signals  for established and evolving standards with Keysight Signal Studio. In addition, the PXB lets you model the signal-propagation environment with fully-parameterized, real-time channel emulation (fading). 

• Up to 160 MHz modulation and signal capture bandwidth 

• 512 Msa playback and signal capture memory per channel 

• Up to 6 BBGs and 16 faders for interference, diversity and MIMO test 

Standards compliant signal creation:

* Run Signal Studio software on the PXB in a familiar Windows environment

* LTE, HSPA, W-CDMA, GSM/EDGE, TD-SCDMA, Mobile WiMAX, WLAN, digital video, GPS, GLONASS, and DC-HSPA with 8960 (E5515C) wireless communication test set

* Real-time uplink LTE FDD and LTE TDD signal creation for 3GPP eNB receiver verification tests

* Connect with SystemVue software or play back your own MATLAB waveforms 

Advanced channel emulation:

* Fade RF, digital I/Q, ESG and PXB generated signals

* Up to 160 MHz fading bandwidth or 24 paths per fader

* Single channel, dual channel, 1×2, 1×4, 1×8, 2×1, 2×2, 2×4, 2×6, 4×2, 2×8 and 4×4 MIMO

* Connect to the 8960 Series 10 (E5515C) wireless communication test set Comprehensive channel correlation settings

* Select standard-based channel models or modify them for the latest wireless formats

* Calculate correlation coefficients based on antenna setup

* Input correlation coefficients into custom correlation matrix

* LTE channel models for MIMO OTA test including SCME Urban Micro-Cell, Macro-Cell, and WINNER II
