Keithley Instruments, Inc., a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, announced having added an option for making GSM transmitter quality modulation measurements to its Model 2800 RF Power Analyzer. The Model 2800 with GSM option is a high-throughput, cost-efficient solution that outperforms the high-end spectrum analyzers and communication test sets that are typically used to conduct RF power and transmitter modulation measurements.

Keithley's Model 2800 family provides a flexible, scalable, lower cost, and easier to use solution that increases throughput for manufacturers of mobile phones, RFIC power amplifiers, and related RF devices. With the new GSM option, the Model 2800 measures whether a mobile phone transmitter or RFIC transmitter module conforms to GSM standards for modulated transmissions, capable of both calibrating the phone as well as assessing modulation quality in a single unit. With these new features, the Model 2800 now performs all the transmitter modulation quality tests required by GSM manufacturers such as Frequency Error, RMS and Peak Phase Error, Time Mask Conformance and Output RF Spectrum.

The Model 2800 is designed for measuring power in the 800MHz and 900 MHz cellular band, as well as the higher DCS (1700MHz) and PCS (1800MHz) bands and the WCDMA (UMTS) / CDMA2000 bands. The Model 2800 is optimized for testing RFIC wireless phone power amplifiers and wireless phones designed to the AMPS, CDMAOne, North American Digital Cellular (NADC), GSM, GPRS, EDGE, DCS, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 3X, and WCDMA standards.

Unlike bulky and expensive general-purpose spectrum analyzers and communication analyzers, which are extremely versatile instruments intended for the R&D lab, the Model 2800 RF Power Analyzer includes only the capabilities required for wireless production testing, in a package optimized for high-speed production environments. The result is a compact, ready-to-run instrument that is pre-configured with the appropriate frequencies, channel numbers, offsets, and other test parameters specific to the latest wireless standards.

The Model 2800 can be programmed and operated under computer control in automated test systems, eliminating unnecessary features like front panel graphic displays and extensive controls. Advanced digital signal processing
(DSP) technology allows the Model 2800 to perform multiple measurements and mathematical operations simultaneously at extremely high speed with minimal user programming.
