The Keysight N7614EMBC is PathWave Signal Generation software for Power Amplifier Test, enabling advanced PA characterization through Envelope Tracking (ET), Crest Factor Reduction (CFR), and Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technologies. It integrates with Keysight signal generators and analyzers to support wideband DPD, dual-band ET/DPD, and customer-provided IP DPD implementations for complex PA testing workflows.
Technical Specifications
The software operates on Windows 10 (64-bit) platforms and is distributed as a node-locked license. Both 12-month subscription and perpetual license models are available, with Right-to-Use licensing supported.
– Key Features
• Waveform import capability for user-defined I/Q signals, Signal Studio-generated waveforms, and pre-loaded waveforms
• Envelope signal exportable as I/Q waveform for flexible signal design
• Automatic or manual alignment of envelope and RF signals
• PA measurement result displays: CCDF, AM-AM, AM-PM, ACPR, Raw EVM, Demod EVM, and Dynamic EVM
• Support for wideband DPD, dual-band ET/DPD, and customer-provided IP DPD architectures
– Typical Applications
PA test flow execution utilizing ET, CFR, and DPD technologies. Signal characterization via CCDF analysis, AM-AM and AM-PM measurement, ACPR validation, and multi-mode EVM assessment (Raw, Demod, Dynamic). Integration with existing Signal Studio waveform libraries generated by N76xxB or N76xxC software.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for use with Keysight signal generators and analyzers within the PathWave Signal Generation suite. Compatible with waveforms and workflows from other N76xxB and N76xxC PathWave applications. Requires active license for operation.
