For analyzing RF signals with digital modulation, multiple
carriers or todays complex coding techniques, the Boonton Model 4500A yields
the answers that designers and manufacturers of state-of-the-art wireless
communications systems demand. Hard-to measure HDTV and spread-spectrum signals
like CDMA and WCDMA are now easy to view and analyze, thanks to the innovative
capabilities of the Model 4500A.
Along with all the time-domain measurements of Boonton s Model
4400A, the Model 4500A adds a host of statistical measurements that are made on
a continuously sampled RF signal. Adding the second input channel to these
capabilities allows you to monitor two sources, such as input and output power,
simultaneously. Powerful math functions can be used to analyze the differences
between channels, making difficult measurements like output stage compression
and inter modulation distortion easy to identify and to correct.
