Keysight Technologies has introduced a spectrum frequency domain analysis application solution for real-time oscilloscopes. The FDA option extends the capabilities of Keysight Infiniium and InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes by enabling engineers to acquire live signals from the oscilloscope and visualise them in the frequency domain as well as make key frequency domain measurements.

Option N8832A-001 includes the application, the application source code for user extensibility, and MATLAB software. These tools allow engineers to extend the application’s capabilities to meet their current and future testing needs.

The FDA application provides capabilities to address many important frequency domain analysis challenges, including power spectral density (PSD) and spectrogram visualisation, commonly found in spectrum analyser and frequency domain analysis software and frequency domain measurements in an application including relevant peaks in the PSD and measurements such as occupied bandwidth, SNR, THD (total harmonic distortion), SFDR (spurious free dynamic range) and frequency error.

It also enables oscilloscope configuration through the application to allow for repeatable instrument configuration and measurements; optionally includes additional SCPI commands for more advanced instrument setup and insertion of additional custom signal processing commands prior to frequency domain visualisation, as needed, for more advanced analysis insight

Live or post-acquisition analysis of time-domain data in MATLAB software is also offered.
