Keysight PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (also known as 89600 VSA) is a comprehensive software application for demodulating and analyzing complex RF, microwave, and mmWave signals. Developed by Keysight Technologies, it transforms compatible Keysight instruments—such as signal and spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and PXI receivers—into powerful, repeatable measurement systems. The software provides a unified view of signal behavior across time, frequency, and modulation domains, helping engineers quickly isolate root causes, optimize designs, and validate performance.
PathWave VSA offers both general-purpose and standards-based analysis, including support for formats such as 5G NR, LTE/LTE-Advanced, WLAN 802.11, and Bluetooth. It delivers rich visualization and metrics—constellation and spectrum displays, spectrograms, EVM and ACPR, error summaries, and time/frequency trends—along with options for wideband and mmWave analysis, multi-channel and MIMO measurements, and external downconversion. Engineers can capture, record, and playback IQ data, correlate results across domains, and automate workflows through APIs with straightforward data export for tools like MATLAB or Python. Integrated with the PathWave software platform, PathWave VSA streamlines design, verification, and troubleshooting from early prototyping to compliance and manufacturing test.
Keysight PathWave Vector Signal Analysis is developed by Keysight Technologies. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 25.0, 26.0, 27.0 and 28.0.
