Keysight Technologies U8903B audio analyser with Bluetooth

Keysight Technologies has introduced the enhanced U8903B audio analyser with Bluetooth audio measurement capabilities, suitable for performing audio testing for R&D, quality assurance and production tests in the consumer and professional audio and wireless communication industries.

The device operates with Bluetooth 4.0 and supports AGHSP/HSP 1.2, AGHFP/HFP 1.6, A2DP and AVRCP profiles. It can transmit a maximum output power of 5 dBm, ensuring that engineers can connect to, and accurately test, equipment such as headsets, smart devices and automotive head units.

To monitor the quality of the Bluetooth link and troubleshoot connection issues, the product comes with the received power indicator and bit error rate measurement. It also offers local loopback capability to provide accurate loopback testing of Bluetooth chipsets, modules and devices. This allows the device to simulate a Bluetooth transceiver to receive a Bluetooth audio signal from the DUT and loopback the same signal to the DUT.

The product comes with configurable options and offers speech and voice quality measurements, expandable bandwidth and digital audio interfaces, enabling engineers to accurately test wireless communication, component and integrated circuit audio applications.
