IQ Capture and Analysis
PC based IQ analysis software for use with IQ data captured from a Remote Spectrum Analyzer
IQ Signal Master MX280005A Vector Signal Analysis Software provides a comprehensive suite of measurements that deliver post processing and analysis of IQ data files captured on the Field Master Pro spectrum analyzers. The software is designed to bring together all the essential tools required to capture IQ data files and then gain critical insights into the nature of the captured signals. Modes within the application, support the ability to capture or stream IQ data into the PC memory, perform modulation quality measurements, playback IQ data with high frequency and time resolution, view LTE and 5G frame resource blocks and playback IQ spectrograms from up to four analyzers in parallel.
A file conversion mode allows IQ data captured on the supported analyzers to be converted to the format required for playback using a Vector Signal Generator MG3710E further enhancing the overall capability.
The software is designed for national RF spectrum regulators, security agencies and defense electronics companies who need to gain critical insight into RF signals that have been captured in the field. It is also suitable for organizations that need to monitor and protect RF spectrum from unlicensed operators or unintended sources of interference
IQ Data can be captured or streamed to a PC via USB, Ethernet, or PCIe interface using the MA25101A IQ Streaming PCIe kit.
MA25424A IQ Data Converter is required in order to stream data from the Field Master Pro MS2090A spectrum analyzer to the Bird IQC5000B RF record and playback system.
Vision Software
Vision™ is a software application which runs on a PC/laptop using the Windows operating system (Windows 7/8/10/11). It can optionally be used for monitoring, identifying, and locating interference signals.
Vision Monitor
Vision Monitor is the visible user interface for monitoring remote spectrum activity. Measurement data is provided in a variety of formats including spectrum trace data, spectrograms, tables and plots. Real-time spectrum measurements can be accessed from anywhere in the network where multiple monitors are deployed.
The Vision Monitor application is fully automated. Measurements can be captured and periodically uploaded to a database for further processing. Depending on need and storage capacity, users can store spectrum history over many months or years. Typically in a system with 1,000 probes with each probe uploading spectrum data every 15 minutes, a 30 day spectral history would require about 1 TB of storage capacity.
Applications
Broadcast Transmitter Systems
Broadcast transmitters for television, radio and mobile radio networks are deployed globally for universal coverage of communications systems. These radio sites typically house high power transmitters at ground level with feeder cables running up the tower to the antennas. Cable runs can be many meters long and represent one of the highest causes of transmitter site failure. Measuring the performance of these cable runs and their associated antennas is an essential part of the installation process. Regular maintenance tests and fault finding requires accurate, portable and easy to use test instrumentation. The Anritsu Site Master has been the test instrument of choice for field technicians since its first introduction in 1995.
The standard MS2085A Site Master cable and antenna analyzer builds on 30 years experience in this market, providing fast and accurate measurements on cables in the field, with distance to fault plots that pinpoint the location of failures.
The MS2089A Site Master adds a spectrum analyzer which facilitates transmitter quality measurements and interference hunting tools to further enhance the capability of the field technician when additional information is required.
Cellular Networks
Since their first introduction in the 1980’s, cellular network base stations have contains multiple RF cable feeds. At tower sites this can be long RF cable runs, while on rooftop sites multiple jumper cables run between the base station and antenna. Today, with multiple cellular technologies hosted on the same tower or rooftop, active antennas typically have more than ten cable inputs from multiple frequency bands and due to the deployment of MIMO technology.
Anritsu Site Master is the ideal instrument for cable testing at installation. The report generation features provide close out reports that contractors require for validation of performance. WCDMA, LTE and 5G measurement options provide modulation quality results for common cellular technologies and a coverage mapping option confirms network coverage meets the modeling of the system designers.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
Universal access to cellular networks in buildings, including shopping malls, transport hubs and stadia is now a basic expectation. This requirement has resulted in the rapid roll out of in building distributed antenna system. There are multiple implementations for DAS systems that may include combinations of fiber and RF cables. DAS system cable runs can be extremely long with multiple branches to isolated antennas as they need to reach the furthest corners of the building.
Installing a DAS network can require the measurement of hundreds or thousands of RF cables with all results requiring recording and documenting. The Site Master with its complimentary Anritsu Report Tool PC application for report generation is ideal for managing the installation of large scale DAS systems.
Military Airframes
The electronic warfare suit on modern military airframes is configured of antennas around the extremities connected to the signal processing systems at the aircraft core. RF cable feeds from antennas to core processing units require regular testing. The new MS2085A Site Master covers the RF comms frequency bands, for the EW suite the S820E Site Master extends the frequency range of the family to 40 GHz.
Ship Communications
Modern commercial and defense shipping contains many RF communications radios and high power radar systems. Antenna for all these systems are located high on masts to ensure range and minimize interference. Long cable and waveguide feeds need regular maintenance especially due to the exposure to hostile weather conditions they experience. The small form factor of Site Master makes it ideal for use in the confined spaces of a ship communications control room.
