Keysight Operation
The Keysight family of X-Series signal analyzers offer two different digital IQ streaming interfaces. One is for
wideband streaming and one is for narrowband. The N9040B and N9030B provide up to 255 MHz of digital IQ
streaming when equipped with options B2X or B5X, RTS and RT1 or RT2. They provide up to 160 MHz of digital IQ
streaming when equipped with options B1X, RTS and RT1 or RT2. The wideband interface streams I and Q data via
separate 50 pin LVDS connectors. Without option RTS, the N9040B and N9030B and the rest of the X-Series
analyzers stream up to 40 MHz of IQ bandwidth through an 80 pin narrowband LVDS connector shown below,
provided the signal analyzer is equipped with option B40.

Each of the Keysight X-Series analyzers allow IQC Control to be run on the desktop of the signal analyzer. This has the
benefit of eliminating the need for an external PC. The Keysight analyzers also include x4 PCIeGen2 interface
allowing IQ data to be offloaded from the IQC5000B into the internal PC of the X-Series analyzer.
Note: Optionally, an external USB 3.0 drive may be used to offload dat

to or from the analyzer
