The U.2/U.3 and M.2 interposer cards help analyze both standard single-port and dual-port solid-state drives (SSDs) that support the PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 specification. When used with the Summit Protocol Analyzer, the U.2/U.3 and M.2 Interposer Cards enable the capture and analysis of all PCIe bus traffic between a host backplane and a single- or […]
5G conformance toolset supports validated GCF and PTCRB protocol
Keysight Technologies says its 5G Conformance Toolset now supports the greatest number of validated Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB protocol, as well as radio frequency (RF) conformance test cases, for both 5G new radio (NR) non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) mode, as reaffirmed at the recent GCF meeting. Protocol and RF conformance tests are […]
Optical spectrum analyzer helps size up 100G/400G optical modules
The Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) MS9740B combines high-end measurement-sensitivity performance, expanded functionality, compact size, and high-speed measurement capability. With the MS9740B, design and manufacturing engineers can accurately verify and improve time-to-market of 100G/400G optical modules designed into 5G and Cloud communications systems. To improve measurement speed by 50%, Anritsu enhanced the optical receiver bandwidth settings […]
EMI receiver gets time-domain scan, real-time scan capabilities
Time Domain Scan (TDS) and Real Time Scan (RTS) capabilities have been added to the Keysight N9048B PXE Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) receiver that enable real-time measurements and diagnostics for faster electromagnetic compliance (EMC) certification. EMC testing requires detailed and exacting methodologies to ensure that all emissions are accurately measured. Long test times impact test facility […]
Portable power quality analyzer decodes three-phase power problems
The Hioki PQ3198 Power Quality Analyzer can be used for assessing power usage as well as for investigating power supply problems such as voltage drops, flicker, harmonics, and other electrical issues. Hioki portable power analyzers can measure single to three-phase lines with a high degree of precision and accuracy. New features include the ability to […]
Stand-alone module facilitates testing of MIPI-enabled devices
The SV4D is a versatile, high-performance, ultra-compact test module enabling at-speed production testing for MIPI interfaces. Capable of operating independently or within any ATE load board, the SV4D is ideal for deployment at wafer sort as well as final test or system-level test. With up to 4 MIPI transmit or receive ports each containing multiple […]
Economical real-time spectrum analyzer monitors wireless signals in real time
The compact ThinkRF R5x50 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer series are designed to monitor wireless signals in real-time rather than via progressive scan as with most common spectrum analyzers. Real-time analysis is essential for observing intermittent or frequency-hopped signals. Sleeker, lighter weight, and quieter than their predecessor models, the R5550 and R5750 analyzers offer improved spectral performance, […]
Free firmware brings mixed-domain analysis to MSOs
Tektronix today released new firmware for the 5 Series and 6 Series MSO mixed signal oscilloscopes that unlocks a new analysis tool called Spectrum View. A free upgrade, Spectrum View allows you to perform mixed domain analysis on the big, high-resolution displays of the 5 and 6 Series MSOs. This mixed domain capability can be […]
How AC Power Sources Get Synchronized
Today’s huge ac grids consist of many separate generators with new ones continually coming online. When a generator is powered down for maintenance or even temporarily disconnected, it must resynchronize upon rejoining the grid, generally by automatic means with manual backup instrumentation in place if needed. The process of synchronizing ac power sources to grid […]
Teraohmmeter excels at higher voltage insulation resistance testing
The 98x Series of Teraohmmeter/Insulation Resistance testers are designed to meet the emerging higher voltage requirements of electric vehicle battery systems and solar arrays. The 981i offers an output voltage range of up to 6.5 kV and the 983i has a maximum output of 11 KV. Built upon the same DSP technology that has established […]
