Spectrum Management:Keysight Technologies and Bird

PublishTime：2021-04-27

Bandwidth is the currency of data and voice communications and to maximize Return on Investment (ROI) network operators must use spectrum management tools to allocate their bandwidth efficiently. Users must adhere to strict spectral masks so that the network operator can predict usage, allocate resources and charge correctly.
A spectrum management tool that uses a signal analyzer with limited memory can only record network activity over a very short period of time. The random snapshot that results can easily miss users who are violating the bandwidth rules. These can include users whose transmitted spectrum does not roll off steeply enough, whose power levels are causing adjacent channel interference, who are unauthorized or who are accessing a bandwidth slot at the wrong time.
A new spectrum management solution from Bird and Keysight Technologies allows network operators to simultaneously monitor and record two bandwidth alloca-tions over an extended period of time, up to days. The solution combines Keysight’s X-series signal analyzers with a Bird IQC5000B dual-channel signal recorder and playback system. When used in conjunction with the Bird suite of software analysis tools, network operators can search for carriers of interest and identify bandwidth allocation or power level violations that can lead to loss of revenue.
The Keysight UXA, PXA, MXA or EXA signal analyzer acts as the microwave or RF front end, pre-selector and down converter, presenting digital I & Q sample streams to the Bird IQC5000B. The signal analyzer’s superior noise floor, SFDR, amplitude and phase flatness over the span bandwidth ensures a very high fidelity signal, which the IQC5000B then stores in either its internal solid state memory or an external, attached disk array. The result is a high fidelity, gap-free recording of the spectrum.
