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 […]
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. […]
T&M gear supports PCI Express 5.0 physical-layer testing
The new Teledyne LeCroy QPHY-PCIE5-TX-RX physical-layer software option for LabMaster 10Zi-A series oscilloscopes provides: Automated receiver-test calibration for jitter-tolerance testing at the full 32 GT/sec PCIe 5.0 rate. While existing solutions can take up to a full day to calibrate before even starting the test, the Teledyne LeCroy calibration will be completed in a fraction […]
Test set checks for PCI Express 5.0 (Gen5) standard compliance
A transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) testing solution provides the speed and margins needed to meet the Peripheral Component Interconnect or PCI Express 5.0 Technology (PCIe Gen5) standard. With many 5G wireless devices reported to launch in 2019, the computer/server industry is actively working to upgrade and enhance network speed with advanced technologies such as […]
Receiver, transmitter, protocol combo handles DDR5 testing
The industry’s first comprehensive double data rate (DDR) 5.0 test solution from Keysight Technologies Inc. includes a new receiver, transmitter, and protocol test solutions. This will enable the ability to perform all test requirements in the DDR5 design specification. Each new generation of DDR synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) provides increased data transfer speeds, a […]
