SignalVu-PC is the foundation of RF and vector signal analysis software that helps you easily validate RF designs. It is based on the signal analysis engine of the RSA5000 Series real-time signal analyzers and runs on your computer or Windows tablet. You can now move your analysis of acquisitions off the instrument and anywhere. SignalVu-PC is also the companion software that runs the analysis for the Tektronix USB real-time spectrum analyzers and Tektronix MSO/DPO Series oscilloscopes. Whether your design validation needs include wideband radar, high data rate satellite links, wireless LAN or frequency-hopping communications, the SignalVu-PC comprehensive suite of tools and application software can speed your time-to-insight.
The software offers a comprehensive solution for analyzing RF (Radio Frequency) systems performance at every stage, from initial laboratory research through field testing to factory production. Designed for a seamless user experience across various windows devices, it enables you to gain valuable insights wherever you are.
Capture once – make multiple measurements without recapturing. Once stored in memory, SignalVu-PC provides detailed analysis in multiple domains, saving you time and enhancing your insight.
For example, the spectrogram display (bottom left panel of the image) shows how the frequency of an LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) radar pulse changes over time. By selecting a specific moment during the pulse’s active phase, you can observe the chirp’s behavior as it transitions from low to high frequencies, as depicted in the upper right panel.
Setups, captures, and recordings are easily shareable among teams, for boosting collaboration and analysis.
Moreover, optional pulse radar analysis software enables you to analyze the pulse’s modulation characteristics and measure other essential parameters like pulse width and repetition intervals from the same captured data.
This approach provides a deep dive into the system’s performance without the need for additional data captures, streamlining your workflow and enriching your insights.
When the base connectivity CON option is installed, SignalVu-PC extends the functionality of either the 5/6 Series B MSO or 6 Series LPD oscilloscopes (with hardware option SV-RFVT). The combination of hardware and software transforms the oscilloscope into a wideband vector signal analyzer (VSA) with up to 2 GHz capture bandwidth on up to 8 independent channels2. To support acquisition length of more than 10 ms for a span of 2 GHz, RL-1 (125 Mpoints record length) license needs to be installed. SignalVu-PC can either run on the instrument (with optional Windows 10 SSD; 5/6-WIN) or on separate Windows PC connected via USB or LAN to the instrument.
SignalVu-PC controls the MSO RF front-end, acquires the vector-calibrated I/Q data, and makes wide-band, time-correlated, multi-domain measurements. You can analyze, correlate, and troubleshoot issues in time, frequency, phase, amplitude, and modulation.
In addition to simultaneous multi-channel Spectrums, Spectrograms, Channel Power, ACPR, OBW, RF Amplitude, Frequency and Phase vs. Time traces, Triggers, and IQ capture capability, SignalVu-PC and the Base Connectivity option adds essential VSA measurements and statistical analysis including RF I&Q vs. Time, CCDF, MCPR, SEM, Spurious, AM, FM, PM, and Automated Mask Search displays and alerts.
Leverage the MSO triggering capability and low phase noise performance to extend your debugging work into system-level validation and troubleshooting of your embedded RF devices. Perform modulation analysis and pass/fail testing of the most common wireless standards and modulation types with optional SignalVu-PC applications.
Time-correlated measurements can be made of frequency, phase, amplitude, and modulation versus time. This is ideal for signal analysis that includes frequency hopping, pulse characteristics, modulation switching, settling time, bandwidth changes, and intermittent signals.
Acquisitions from the USB Spectrum Analyzers and all Tektronix MSO/DPO Series oscilloscopes can be analyzed with SignalVu-PC, adding deep analysis capabilities to these broadband acquisition systems.
Time-correlated, multi-domain, multi-channel views provide a new level of insight into design or operational problems not possible with conventional analysis solutions. Here, the hop patterns of a narrowband signal can be observed using Spectrogram (upper right) and its hop characteristics can be precisely measured with Frequency vs Time display (bottom left). The time and frequency responses can be observed in the two views right as the signal hops from one frequency to the next. All of the analysis shown above is available in the free base version of SignalVu-PC.
Simultaneously acquire, independently configure settings, and analyze data from up to eight channels of the 5 or 6 Series MSO Oscilloscope using the general signal viewing (with option CON or SVE), advanced pulse radar analysis (SVP), and general-purpose digital modulation analysis (SVM) displays of SignalVu-PC.
This approach enables a comprehensive understanding of complex systems, such as RADAR, MIMO, uplink/downlink systems, and phased-array systems. It facilitates the examination of multiple signals across various parameters, including power, time, frequency, phase, and modulation by allowing you to independently configure channel settings such as center frequency, span, RBW, reference level, and analysis time. Available global settings control saves valuable time configuring multiple channels.
In addition to RF, you can analyze baseband signals by configuring channels as I/Q, or differential I/Q.
For multi-channel applications greater than 10 GHz in frequency, up to 70 GHz can be simultaneously analyzed on up to four channels using Tektronix DPO70000SX oscilloscopes. Refer to SignalVu for Performance Oscilloscopes for more details.
SignalVu-PC software expands your analysis capabilities even further on oscilloscope by enabling simultaneous analysis of multiple frequency dispersed signals within a single acquisition bandwidth. By configuring multiple sources to one physical oscilloscope channel, it supports independent analysis of signals at different frequency bands from I/Q data acquired by a single channel. This capability offers critical insights into advanced, multi-standard systems, streamlining development and validation.
One example among many where such analysis is beneficial involves electronic warfare or military communications research, where analyzing pulse radar and 64QAM signals simultaneously on the same medium helps test and ensure system reliability under mixed signal conditions.
The base SignalVu-PC version ships free3 and enables 16 or more general signal viewing and RF measurement displays including spectrum analysis, RF power and statistics, spectrograms, amplitude, frequency and phase versus time, and analog modulation measurements. Field-upgradeable software options may be added, including pulse radar analysis, general-purpose modulation analysis, settling time, automated phase noise measurements, EMI pre-compliance, commercial standard analysis (WLAN, Bluetooth, LTE, 5G NR), playback of recorded files, and more.
Wideband satellite and point-to-point microwave links can be directly observed with SignalVu-PC analysis software. Here, general-purpose Digital Modulation Analysis (SVM) is demodulating a 16QAM backhaul link running at 312.5 MS/s.
From FSK to 1024QAM, general-purpose digital modulation analysis (SVM) provides precise modulation accuracy and essential physical-layer measurements for 26 prevalent digital modulation types.
Settling time measurements (SVT) are easy and automated. The user can select measurement bandwidth, tolerance bands, reference frequency (auto or manual), and establish up to 3 tolerance bands vs. time for Pass/Fail testing. Settling time may be referenced to external or internal trigger, and from the last settled frequency or phase. In the illustration, frequency settling time for a hopped oscillator is measured from an external trigger point from the device under test.
The advanced pulse analysis package (SVP) provides 31 individual measurements to automatically characterize long pulse trains often associated with RADAR. An 850 MHz wide LFM chirp centered at 3.85 GHz is seen here with measurements for pulses 7 through 14 (top right). The shape of the pulse can be seen in the Amplitude vs. Time plot shown in the upper left. Detailed views of pulse #8’s frequency deviation and parabolic phase trajectory are shown in the lower two views.
Multi-channel support is enabled when the 5/6 Series MSO instruments are used. This allows you to capture and analyze up to 8 phase-coherent RF pulse trains of up to 5 GHz in frequency and up to 2 GHz in bandwidth. Or up to 4 pulse trains of up to 10 GHz in frequency and up to 2 GHz in bandwidth.
With the WLAN measurement applications, you can perform standards-based transmitter measurements in the time, frequency, and modulation domains.
All modulation formats, as shown in the following table can be measured.

Two options have been added to help with Bluetooth SIG standard base transmitter RF measurements in the time, frequency and modulation domains. Option SV27 supports Basic Rate and Low Energy Transmitter measurements defined by RF.TS.4.2.0 and RF-PHY.TS. 4.2.0 Test Specification. It also demodulates and provides symbol information for Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) packets. Option SV31 supports Bluetooth 5 standards (LE 1M, LE 2M, LE Coded) and measurements defined in the Core Specification. Both options also decode the physical layer data that is transmitted and color-encode the fields of packet in the Symbol Table for clear identification.
Pass/Fail results are provided with customizable limits and the Bluetooth presets make the different test set-ups push-button.
Below is a summary of the measurements that are automated with option SV27 and SV31 (unless noted):
The following additional information is also available with SV27 and SV31: symbol table with color coded field information, constellation, eye diagram, frequency deviation vs time with highlighted packet and octet, frequency offset and drift detailed table, as well as packet header field decoding. Markers can be used to cross-correlate the time, vector and frequency information.
When paired with the Alaris Smart Antenna with electronic compass, and battery-powered RSA500 Series (with built-in GPS transceiver) or RSA306B (with third party GPS dongle), the Mapping (MAP) application enables interference hunting, spectrum clearing, coverage mapping, surveying, and triangulation on signal sources.
Locate interference with an azimuth function that lets you draw a line or an arrow on a mapped measurement to indicate the direction your antenna was pointing when you took a measurement. You can also create and display measurement results and labels.
Option SV28 enables the following LTE measurements:
Cell ID
Channel Power
Occupied Bandwidth (OBW)
Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR)
Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM)
Transmitter Off Power for TDD
Reference Signal Power
There are four presets to accelerate pre-compliance testing and determine the Cell ID. These presets are defined as Cell ID, ACLR, SEM, Channel Power and TDD Toff Power. The measurements follow the definition in 3GPP TS Version 12.5 and support all base station categories, including picocells and femtocells. Pass/Fail information is reported and all channel bandwidths are supported.
The Cell ID preset displays the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in a Constellation diagram. It also provides Frequency Error and Reference Signal (RS) Power.
The ACLR preset measures the E-UTRA and the UTRA adjacent channels, with different chip rates for UTRA. ACLR also supports Noise Correction based on the noise measured when there is no input. Both ACLR and SEM will operate in swept mode (default) or in faster single acquisition if the instrument has enough acquisition bandwidth.
5G NR is among the growing set of signal standards, applications, and modulation types supported by SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software. The SignalVu-PC VSA 5G NR analysis option provides comprehensive analysis capabilities in the frequency, time, and modulation domains for FR1 and FR2 (mmWave) signals based on the 3GPP’s 5G NR specification.
By configuring result traces of spectrum, acquisition time, and NR specific modulation quality (e.g, EVM, frequency error, I/Q error) traces and tables, engineers can identify overall signal characteristics and troubleshoot intermittent error peaks or repeated synchronization failures.
Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is a figure of merit used to describe signal quality. It does this by measuring the difference on the I/Q plane between the ideal constellation point of the given symbol versus the actual measured point. It can be measured in dB or % of the ideal sub-symbol, normalized to the average QAM power received, and display constellation of symbols vs ideal symbol. The EVM vs Symbol or EVM vs Time gives the EVM of OFDM symbols present in the number of symbols considered or the time within a slot.
For automated testing, SCPI remote interfaces are available to accelerate design, which enables the quick transition to the design verification and manufacturing phases.
5G NR option (5GNRNL-SVPC)4 supports 5G NR modulation analysis measurements according to Release 15 and Release 16 of 3GPP’s TS38 specification, including:
Options SV30NL-SVPC and SV30FL-SVPC provide offline analysis for WiGig IEEE802.11ad/ay IC characterization. However, Tektronix DPO70000SX Series oscilloscope with option SV30 installed can be used for full online 60 GHz measurements and analysis using SignalVu. For more details, refer to SignalVu-PC vs. SignalVu.
SV30 installed on an oscilloscope provides significant margin in EVM performance compared to what is required by the standard. Both Control PHY (802.11ad) and Single Carrier PHY (802.11ad and 802.11ay) are supported and provides analysis of 802.11ay 2.16 GHz packets or 4.23 GHz adjacent 2-channel bonded packets.
Testing and verification can be done on IF and RF setups. RF power, Received Power Indicator (RCPI), Frequency error (Max, Average, Std. Deviation), DC Offset, IQ DC origin offset, IQ Gain and Phase imbalance, Signal Quality, and estimated SNR measurements are reported in the Summary display. Pass/Fail results are reported using customizable limits and the presets make the test set-up push-button.
For further insight into the signal, color coding is available in the user interface, allowing you to visualize the EVM spread across the analyzed packet with color codes differentiating regions. You can also view the demodulated symbols in tabular form with different color codes and with an option to traverse to the start of each region for easier navigation.

With SV56, playback of recorded files from one of the USB spectrum analyzers is possible. Playback of recorded signals can reduce hours of watching and waiting for a spectral violation to minutes at your desk reviewing recorded data. Recording length is limited only by storage media size and recording is a basic feature included in SignalVu-PC. SignalVu-PC SV56 Playback allows for complete analysis by all SignalVu-PC measurements, including DPX Spectrogram. Minimum signal duration specifications are maintained during playback. AM/FM audio demodulation can be performed. Variable span, resolution bandwidth, analysis length, and bandwidth are all available. Frequency mask testing can be performed on recorded signals up to 40 MHz in span, with actions on mask violation including beep, stop, save trace, save picture, and save data. Portions of the playback can be selected and looped for repeat examination of signals of interest. Playback can be gap-free, or time gaps can be inserted to reduce review time. A Live Rate playback ensures fidelity of AM/FM demodulation and provides a 1:1 playback vs. actual time. Clock time of the recording is displayed in the spectrogram markers for correlation to real world events. In the illustration below, the FM band is being replayed, with a mask applied to detect spectral violations, simultaneous with listening to the FM signal at the center frequency of 92.3 MHz.
The signal classification application (SV54) enables expert systems guidance to aid the user in classifying signals. It provides graphical tools that allow you to quickly create a spectral region of interest, enabling you to classify and sort signals efficiently. The spectral profile mask, when overlaid on top of a trace, provides signal shape guidance, while frequency, bandwidth, channel number, and location are displayed allowing for quick checks. WLAN, GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA, Bluetooth standard and enhanced data rate, LTE FDD and TDD, and ATSC signals can be quickly and simply classified. Databases can be imported from your H500/RSA2500 signal database library for easy transition to the new software base.
SignalVu-PC with mapping can be used to manually indicate the azimuth of a measurement made in the field, greatly aiding in triangulation efforts. The addition of a smart antenna able to report its direction to SignalVu-PC automates this process. Automatically plotting the azimuth/bearing of a measurement during interference hunting can greatly speed the time spent searching for the source of interference. Tektronix mapping capability provides support for the third-party Alaris DF-A0047 handheld direction finding antenna with frequency coverage from 20 MHz -8.5 GHz (optional 9 kHz-20 MHz) as part of a complete interference hunting solution. All SignalVu-PC data streams include time-stamp information for effective data logging and coherent signal analysis applications. Full specifications for the DF-A0047 antenna are available at https://www.alarisantennas.com/products/df-a0047-handheld-wideband-direction-finding-antenna/.
Phase noise degrades the ability to process Doppler information in radar systems and degrades error vector magnitude in digitally modulation communication systems. Automated phase noise and jitter measurements with a spectrum analyzer (PHAS) may reduce the cost of your measurements by reducing the need for a dedicated phase noise analyzer.
Shown below, the phase noise of a 1 GHz carrier is measured at -133 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. Single-sideband phase noise is displayed in dBc/Hz versus offset frequencies from carrier, shown in trace or tabular form: one ±Peak trace (in blue) and one average trace (in yellow). Trace smoothing and averaging is supported.
The RSA7100B’s intrinsic phase noise of -134 dBc/Hz, at this frequency and across its operating range, provides ample measurement margin for a vast majority of applications.
Applications include testing VCO phase noise, oscillator phase noise, clock source jitter, signal generator phase noise, and more. The Tektronix phase noise / jitter application, when combined with DPX® signal processing, provides a powerful solution for designing and troubleshooting momentarily unstable signal sources.
The phase noise application performs automated carrier tracking, averaging, and dynamic measurement bandwidth adjustment, providing the accuracy and speed of measurement needed at all carrier offsets – ranging from 10 Hz to 1 GHz. Results are available in log-frequency trace or tabular form with pass/fail limits on-screen or via programmatic control. Integration limits are programmable for RMS phase noise, jitter, and residual FM. The low instrument phase noise of the RSA7100B together with this measurement application allows for high-performance phase noise measurements at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz.
The previous figure shows the RSA7100B typical and nominal phase noise performance.
Qualified educational facilities can cost-effectively use SignalVu-PC in teaching environments. The specially priced education version includes all available applications except the 5GNR analysis option and provides results watermarked ‘Education Version’.

Pass/Fail results are reported using customizable limits. |
CISPR Detectors (Quasi Peak and Average) (SVQP) | This option enables CISPR Quasi Peak and Average detectors (defined per CISPR16) in Spectrum and Spurious displays. |
EMC/EMI pre-compliance and troubleshooting (EMCVU) | This option supports many predefined limit lines. It also adds a wizard for easy setup of recommended antennas, LISN, and other EMC accessories with a one-button push. When using the new EMC-EMI display, you can accelerate the test by applying the time consuming quasi peak only on failures. This display also provides a push-button ambient measurement. The Inspect tool lets you measure frequencies of interest locally, removing the need for scanning. |
