Recommended Conguration
Step 1. Select oscilloscope
All 4-channel InfiniiVision 3000T and 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes (DSO or MSO) are
compatible with performing automated NFC testing. The minimum recommended and lowest-
priced model that meets specifications is the 100-MHz bandwidth DSOX3014T oscilloscope.
Automated NFC testing can be performed via LAN (Ethernet) or USB. All Keysight InfiniiVision
X-Series oscilloscopes come standard with USB interfaces. The LAN interface is standard
on the 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes. However, if using a 3000T X-Series oscilloscope in your
NFC test system, you also will need to order the optional LAN interface module for this scope
(DSOXLAN).
In addition to the above listed minimum system requirements, it is recommended that your
3000T or 4000 X-Series oscilloscope be running on firmware version 4.08 or greater.
Step 2. Select software
If your automated NFC test system includes one of Keysight’s InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series
oscilloscopes, then order the DSOXT3NFC software license. If your automated NFC test system
includes one of Keysight’s InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes, then order the DSOX4NFC
software license.
The NFC automated software can be downloaded from Keysight’s DSOXT3NFC or DSOX4NFC
product website at no charge. However, running the software requires that the license be
installed on the oscilloscope.
Step 3. Select waveform generator
All 2-channel Trueform 33500 and 33600 waveform generators are compatible with performing
automated NFC testing. The minimum recommended and lowest-priced model that meets
specifications is the 20-MHz 33512B with Option MEM. If ordering one of the 2-channel 33600
models, Option MEM is not required.
Step 4. Select antenna
For fastest throughput, Keysight recommends ordering the N2116A 3-in-1 programmable NFC
antenna. This antenna provides a fixed 5 mm spacing between the device-under-test and the
Poller/Listener coils. Also available is the N2134A with 10 mm spacing, and the N2135A with
15 mm spacing. All of Keysight’s 3-in-1 programmable NFC antennas (N2116A, N2134A, and
N2135A) come standard with all required BNC/SMA cabling for interconnections between
scope/generator/antenna.
Keysight’s automated NFC test solution is also compatible with NFC Forum individual antennas.
However, testing must be paused between Poller, Listener, and Resonant Frequency testing for
DUT placement.
