DIO card completes PCIe instrument family
Spectrum instrumentation’s family of PCIe instrument cards also includes digitizers and waveform generators. Automated test systems often need to generate and measure analog signals. They often need to provide digital I/O for status monitoring and control of test hardware or industrial process equipment. With the addition of the M2p.7515-x4 digital I/O card, Spectrum Instrumentation completes […]
Test applications handle automotive SerDes, MIPI A-PHY and ASA standards
New automotive serializer/deserializer (SerDes) transmit and channel test applications, as well as an automotive adapter portfolio to verify mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) A-PHY and Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) standards were developed by Keysight Technologies in collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. and Rosenberger. High-speed automotive SerDes interfaces enable transport data streams to make in-vehicle […]
Microwave measurement receiver calibrates signal generators and attenuators
The R&S FSMR3000 microwave measurement receiver provides analog AM, FM and φM modulation analysis. The R&S FSMR3000 is designed to make signal generator and attenuator calibration less complex and includes features that make calibrating lab test processes easier. The 8-GHz, 26.5-GHz and 50-GHz instruments provide all necessary measurement capabilities in a compact single box instrument. […]
Handheld spectrum analyzers now work up to 44 GHz
New base models of handheld spectrum analyzers now offer measurement frequencies up to 44 GHz. A new 44-GHz model has been added to the existing R&S FPH models having measurement frequencies from 5 kHz to 6, 13.6, and 26.5 GHz. In addition, three new versions with tracking generators are available with measurement frequencies up to […]

Phase noise analyzer/VCO tester checks frequency, sensitivity, RF power, current draw versus tuning voltage
Rohde & Schwarz designed the new R&S FSPN phase noise analyzer and VCO tester for production and design engineers who characterize sources such as synthesizers, VCOs, OCXOs, and DROs. Providing high sensitivity and measurement speed, the R&S FSPN is a candidate for demanding phase noise and VCO analysis in development and production. The R&S FSPN […]
Analyzer/exerciser/jammer platform for PCI Express 5.0 handles multiple users
The VIAVI Xgig 5P16 platform now supports analyzer bifurcation and multi-user functionality, enabling multiple users and simultaneous tests on a single platform. These enhancements allow simultaneous protocol analysis for PCI Express® (PCIe) 5.0 data traffic at all layers of the stack, speeding time-to-market and controlling total cost of ownership (TCO) for development and production of […]
Broadband VNA system provides single-sweep coverage up to 125 GHz
The VectorStar ME7838AX/EX series is the first vector network analyzer (VNA) broadband system to offer single-sweep coverage up to 125 GHz/110 GHz with guaranteed and typical specifications. The VectorStar ME7838AX/EX system’s ability to sweep and provide characterized data through 125 GHz provide design engineers with the ability to significantly and confidently improve their device models […]
ARB waveform generators and measuring amplifier gain
When it comes to amplification, the principal parameters are gain and fidelity of the output relative to the input. Gain, denoted by β (Greek letter beta), is the ratio of output voltage, current or power to input. An amplifier by definition has a power gain greater than one. Measurements that characterize amplifier gain serve as […]
