About NB-IoT Modulation Analysis

89601BHTC (89601B-BHT) adds NB-IoT modulation analysis capability to your 89600 VSA software.

With 89601BHTC (89601B-BHT) NB-IoT Modulation Analysis, you can demodulate signals that conform to the following standards:

Specs
- 36.211 V13.6.0 (2017-06)
- 36.212 V13.6.0 (2017-06)
- 36.213 V13.6.0 (2017-06)

With the NB-IoT demodulator, you can demodulate downlink and uplink signals. Once required parameters are specified, the demodulator will automatically lock onto the signal. The demodulator can perform power-based autodetection of NPDSCH and NPUSCH allocations for signals.

The demodulator provides various signal analysis capabilities including decoded bits, EVM Error vector magnitude (EVM): A quality metric in digital communication systems. See the EVM metric in the Error Summary Table topic in each demodulator for more information on how EVM is calculated for that modulation format. calculations, IQ constellation, channel equalization data, and error summary data. Flexible display scaling and marker functionality enhance these measurement capabilities.
