Aeroflex has announced the availability of a new software version for its 2975 Project 25 (http://www.p25.com/) radio test set.
Release 1.9.2 adds eye-diagram functionality for P25 waveform analysis. With this option--2975OPT30 Modulation Analysis--users can quickly see the C4FM (compatible four-level frequency modulation) deviation points as well as any offset or imbalance in the four frequency levels corresponding to the C4FM modulation (± 600 Hz and ± 1800 Hz). This new eye diagram feature is included in Option and is free.
In addition, Release 1.9.2 simplifies the ordering of LSM testing options. Options 11 (LSM/Phase 2) and 13 (LSM Advanced/P25 Phase 2 Advanced) have now been combined into a single option--the 2975OPT29 CQPSK (compatible quadrature phase shift keying) Generate/Receive and Analysis option, which provides tests for linear simulcast modulation.
The 2975 is a digital radio test platform that tests radio equipment to ensure proper operation to various Project 25 standards, including parametric testing for compatible four-level frequency modulation and interoperability testing of P25 systems. As well as standard analog test features, the 2975 provides P25 trunking support for VHF/UHF/700- and 800-MHz bands, SmartNet/SmartZone support, AES and DES encryption support, control-message logging, encryption-key management facilities, CQPSK generate and receive testing, and CQPSK analysis for linear simulcast modulation systems.
Base prices: 2975, $21,495; release 1.9.2, free; options 2975OPT30 Modulation Analysis, free; and option 2975OPT29 CQPSK Generate/Receive and Analysis, $8000.
