Two-Way Radio Testing with the
U8903A Audio Analyzer
Application Note
Introduction
As the two-way radio band gets deregulated, there is a noticeable increase in product offerings in this
area. What was a specialized field with a product premium many years ago has turned competitive. In
some instance, some product offerings in this area has become a commodity.
This application note highlights how you can use the Keysight Technologies, Inc. U8903A audio
analyzer to guarantee the audio quality of your design for you to use audio as a competitive advantage.

Combining the U8903A Audio Analyzer with the
Keysight N9063A MXA Spectrum Analyzer and
E4428C Signal Generator Provides a Good Solution
for Two-Way Radio Testing
+ +
A two-way radio transfers a signal (audio source) to another two-way radio by using
frequency modulation (FM) radio frequency (RF) wave. During this process, the two-way
radio converts the audio source to frequency modulated RF waves and sends it to a
receiver. Then, the receiver demodulates the FM RF wave back to the original audio
signal generated by the source.
There are two major tests for a two-way radio: Transmitter and receiver tests.
In a two-way radio transmitter test, the audio analyzer provides a 1 kHz audio tone
signal to the two-way radio transmitter (DUT). The transmitter (DUT) converts the signal
to FM RF waves, which will be measured using the N9063A MXA spectrum analyzer.
During the two-way radio receiver test, the audio analyzer provides a 1 kHz audio tone
signal to the signal generator. The signal generator converts the 1 kHz audio tone signal
to frequency modulated RF waves and transmits the FM RF waves to the two-way radio
receiver (DUT) for demodulating back to an audio sound signal, which will be measured
by the audio analyzer with related audio signal parameters.
Keysight offers a total solution for two-way radio testing by combining U8903A audio
The Keysights Solution analyzer, E4428C ESG signal generator, and N9020A MXA spectrum analyzer. The
U8903A audio analyzer provides a clean and low-distortion signal (audio source)
and combines the functionality of level, frequency response, SINAD, and THD+N
measurements. The E4428C ESG signal generator performs FM and convert the audio
signal to FM modulated RF wave. The N9020A MXA spectrum analyzer with N9063A
analog demodulation measurement application is able to demodulate on FM signals,
display modulation metrics such as FM Deviation with Peak+, Peak-, (Pk-Pk)/2 and RMS,
carrier power, carrier power error, modulation rate, SINAD, Distortion/Total Vrms, THD,
and display demodulated signals in both time and frequency domains.

In a two-way radio transmitting test, we are testing the quality of the FM RF wave
signals that a two-way radio transmits to another two-way radio. The U8903A audio
analyzer provides a clean and low-distortion audio signal source, and the N9020A MXA
spectrum analyzer with the N9063A analog demodulation measurement application
measures level, frequency response, THD+N, SINAD, carrier power, and modulation rate.
Below are the steps for setting up the transmitting test:
STEPS FOR Setting up the transmitting test:
1. U8903A audio analyzer provides a signal (audio source) 1 kHz tone signal (sine
wave) to the two-way radio's microphone in.
2. On two-way radio, select CH1 (Channel 1) and press the "push to talk" button.
The signal (audio source) will be converted to frequency modulated(FM) RF wave
signal.
3. On the N9020A MXA spectrum analyzer, set frequency to 462.5625MHz (same
frequency with two-way radio's channel 1), enable the analog demodulation and do
measurements on level, frequency response, THD+N, SINAD, carrier power,
and modulation rate.

In the two-way radio receiving test, we are testing the quality of the audio signal that
is reproduced by the two-way radio after transmission. The U8903A audio analyzer
provides a clean and low-distortion audio source and measurement of the signal that is
reproduced by the two-way radio receiver. The Keysight E4428C signal generator is used
to modulate the audio signal source to FM RF waves.
STEPS FOR SETTING UP THE RECEIVING
TEST:
1. The U8903A audio analyzer provides a signal (audio source) 1 kHz tone signal to
E4428C ESG signal generator's external input (Ext In).
2. At E4428C ESG signal generator, set frequency to 462.5625 MHz (same
frequency with two-way radio's channel 1), then convert the input signal to
frequency modulation (FM) RF wave, and send it to the two-way radio's antenna.
3. Use the analyzer part of U8903A audio analyzer to do measurements such as
level, frequency response, THD+D, and SINAD.
4. In order to check the receiver sensitivity, adjust the E4428C ESG signal generator
carrier power to achieve the SINAD at 12 dB at the U8903A audio analyzer.
