A new automated compliance test package handles USB 3.2 transmitter and receiver compliance testing to the QPHY-USB3.2-Tx-RX spec. USB 3.2 is the latest iteration of the USB spec, allowing multi-lane operation: either two lanes at 5 or 10 Gb/sec, enabling a maximum transfer rate of 20 Gb/sec (Gen2x2). To that end, Teledyne LeCroy developed the […]
O-RAN Alliance develops first open radio access network 5G mmWave radio unit
The industry’s first O-RAN (open radio access network) 5G mmWave radio unit (O-RU) combines essential building blocks to create and test a blueprint for next-generation RAN. “This achievement within O-RAN is exciting because it proves that a radio unit can be built on an open architecture platform,” said Andre Fuetsch, President AT&T Labs and Chief […]
Big waveform memory lets AWG handle EW testing, wireless comm apps
The AWG70000B Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator supports the testing of complex electronic warfare and wireless communications systems that require the ability to dynamically alter signal sequences during test scenarios. Those running complex test scenarios need to accurately recreate real-world signals and cycle through fast-changing signal tests quickly. To meet these requirements, Tektronix is bringing new […]
First integrated dual-channel 44-GHz vector signal generator with 2-GHz bandwidth
Dual-channel microwave signal generators support up to 44 GHz signals and 2-GHz RF modulation bandwidth in a single instrument. Keysight’s new VXG microwave signal generators address the most demanding wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) applications for 5G and satellite communications by decreasing test set-up complexity and reducing path losses introduced in over-the-air (OTA) test environments. Many […]
First integrated dual-channel 44-GHz vector signal generator with 2-GHz bandwidth
Keysight’s new VXG microwave signal generators are the first dual-channel microwave signal generators that support up to 44-GHz signals and 2-GHz RF modulation bandwidth in a single instrument. They are designed to address the most demanding wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) applications for 5G and satellite communications by making test set-up less complex and reducing path […]
Electrical tester calibrator helps comply with new regulatory standards
The 5322A Electrical Tester Calibrator is a multi-device calibrator built to facilitate compliance with exacting international standards such as the UK’s BS7671 17th Edition, IEC/EN Standards, Australia and New Zealand’s AS/NZS 3000 and Chinese verification/calibration regulations for various electrical testers. The 5322A combines many functions into a single instrument, replacing discrete resistors, decade boxes, and […]
Rugged real-time spectrum analyzer/RF recorder works up to 20 GHz
The Spectran XFR V5 PRO Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer is a portable, rugged RF detection device designed to capture even the briefest signal transmissions. Its rapid signal acquisition scans a 20-GHz bandwidth in less than 20 msec, making it the world´s fastest counter-surveillance receiver. The instrument’s internal GPS also indicates the precise location of the measured […]
Low-cost spectrum analyzers monitor in real-time to see intermittent and frequency-hopped signals
The compact ThinkRF R5500 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer series is designed to monitor and analyze wireless signals in real-time and not progressively scanned like most common spectrum analyzers. Real-time analysis is vital for being able to observe intermittent or frequency-hopped signals. The R5500 series comes in three models to cover 8, 18, or 27-GHz signals. They […]
RF downconverter extends range of spectrum analyzers
The compact ThinkRF D2030 RF Downconverter is engineered to work seamlessly with existing spectrum analysis equipment by down-converting RF signals from the 27-30 GHz frequency bands down to an intermediate frequency (IF) of 3.55 GHz or 5.6 GHz. The D2030 RF Downconverter works with existing test equipment, RF signal detectors, and interfaces, minimizing user training […]
Software tracks, monitors lab instruments, optimizes student learning
The BenchVue Lab Management and Control software tool is designed to simplify the configuration, monitoring and tracking of lab instruments, while optimizing student learning. Keysight’s new BenchVue Lab software application enables educators to spend less time on the manual set-up and tracking of lab instruments and focus on what really matters—providing a high-quality teaching experience.
