The new CXG X-Series Radio Frequency (RF) Vector Signal Generator (CXG) delivers advanced performance, is standards-compliant, and meets the demands of engineers designing IoT and general-purpose devices at a reasonable price. IoT and general-purpose R&D and design validation (DVT) engineers need to keep up with today’s expanding consumer electronics market. They want an economic and […]
Test platform covers Global Certification Forum RF test cases
Test platforms from Keysight Technologies now support a leading number of 5G new radio (NR) conformance radio frequency (RF) test cases validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF). At the CAG#59 meeting, which took place in Malaga, Spain, it was confirmed that Keysight’s 5G network emulation conformance test platform (TP168) offers leading coverage of GCF […]
RF Switches, Part 2: Analog and MEMS switches
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the venerable electromechanical RF switch – still widely used in some applications, where it is the only viable option – and use of PIN diodes as RF switches. This part looks at analog and MEMS-based switches. Q: What is an analog switch? A: It’s conceptually straightforward: in basic […]
How standards and conformance tests shape the future of 5G New Radio
Specs for 5G NR release-15 have been finalized and plans call for product introductions this year. Sheri DeTomasi | Keysight Technologies, Inc. The development of 5G standards and their commercial rollout appears to be on a fast track. Mobile operators and network equipment makers are conducting field trials and the first smartphones are expected out […]
RF switches, Part 1: Mechanical and PIN-diode switches
There’s a ubiquitous and increasing need to switch RF signals ranging into the tens of GHz; four basic switch technologies – electromechanical, PIN diode, analog, and MEMS – are available, each with different features and capabilities. The need to switch RF signals has been a necessary design function since the earliest days of “wireless.” This […]
Handheld combo spectrum/vector-network analyzer with 100 MHz real-time bandwidth targets 5G, EW testing
The next generation of the FieldFox B-series handheld analyzer delivers measurement precision and bandwidth up to 100 MHz for wide-band, real-time spectrum analysis to enable 5G testing in the field. Accurate microwave measurements are becoming increasingly necessary in harsh and hard-to-reach environments spanning a wide range of conditions: day or night, rain or shine, hot […]
New phase-noise test system works up to 40 GHz with offsets from 0.01 Hz to 160 MHz internally
A new phase-noise measurement system for “power users” helps optimize and prove the performance of new designs, meet operational requirements, as well as remain on schedule and on budget. Phase noise is an unwanted phase modulation noise that emerges in nearly all radio frequency and microwave devices including oscillators, mixers, dividers, multipliers and amplifiers. Power […]
Autoranging bench power supplies feature small footprint, large display
A new series of single and dual-output power supplies feature a bench-friendly design with low background noise, small footprint, and a large display. Keysight’s new E36200 series enables engineers to test their designs across multiple industries including automotive electronics, consumer goods, medical devices, power tools, and industrial applications. Keysight’s new E36200 series provides the same […]
Keysight labs get highest accreditation level for cal services, ISO/IEC 17025
Keysight Americas’ 19 service centers in the U.S., Brazil, Canada and Mexico have received accreditation for the 2017 version of ISO/IEC 17025 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the largest multi-disciplinary accreditation body in North America. ISO/IEC 17025 is the primary international standard for establishing laboratory competence and quality. The latest version of the […]
Vector network analyzers get modulation distortion app
The optional S93070xB Modulation Distortion application is now available for the PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer, which delivers a wide system dynamic range resulting in a lowe residual error vector magnitude (EVM). Traditional test setups, especially for 5G power amplifiers and beamformer integrated circuit design, verification and production, are complex and can introduce a wide range […]
