Anritsu has entered into a partnership agreement with AnaPico AG in response to the growing demand from customers who need devices to capture radio frequency signals of interest to them on the air and then reproduce them using vector signal generators. The Anritsu IQ Signal Master™ MX280005A PC application has been improved to integrate the capture of IQ radio frequency signals using the Field Master Pro™ MS2090A spectrum analyzer, and then to upload the IQ data file to AnaPico VSG for playback at any frequency up to 40 GHz. The seamless process of collecting and reproducing IQ data is ideal for in-depth testing of receiver responses to a wide range of signals.
The ability to record and analyze a wide range of radio signals, including radars, telemetry channels, secure communications and jamming equipment, is becoming increasingly important for security and defense services. IQ Signal Master MX280005A combines all the necessary functionality into a single package that controls the capture configuration, provides playback of the built-in spectrum analyzer with microsecond resolution and playback of the captured signal at any frequency up to 40 GHz.
The built-in intelligent algorithms include tools for quickly searching and extracting signals of interest from large data files, isolating low-level signals from noise, and testing scenarios to verify the operability of receivers in real-world threats.
