Samsung to use Anritsu signal analyzer for 5G System Development
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. will use the Anritsu MS2850A Signal Analyzer with 5G analysis software installed to support 5G system developments. Samsung unveiled its end-to-end 5G product portfolios, including 5G home routers (CPEs) and 5G Access Unit (AU), last year under development for commercial-grade products. The company is engaged with major operators in leading markets […]
mm-Wave testbed helps validate first commercial 5G NR active array antennas at 26 GHz
Ball Aerospace and Anokiwave have validated the first commercial 5G NR active array antenna product designs in the 26 GHz band using the Keysight 5G NR-ready measurement testbed. The use of phased arrays at mmWave frequencies requires over-the-air (OTA) testing as well as spatial beam measurements. Keysight metrology-grade test equipment offers the sensitivity necessary to […]
Millimeter-wave design verification lab opens in San Diego
Anokiwave, Inc., an innovative company providing highly integrated IC solutions for millimeter-wave (mmW) markets and Active Antenna based solutions, today announced the opening of a millimeter wave design verification laboratory in its San Diego office. The new laboratory enables rapid characterization of Anokiwave’s world-class product portfolio mmW ICs for 5G, SATCOM, and RADAR markets. The […]
Narrowband-IoT over-the-air test setup works with reverberation test chambers
Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced the collaboration with Bluetest on the successful creation of a narrowband – internet of things (NB-IoT)) over-the-air (OTA) solution for use in Bluetest Reverberation Test Systems (bluetest.se/products/chambers). The solution, used by one of Japan’s top operator customers, demonstrates the market leading position of both companies in NB-IoT test. “We are […]
Real-Time 27-GHz spectrum analyzers are PC controlled
Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of the compact RTSA7550 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer – a powerful, full-featured spectrum analyzer designed to analyze wireless signals in real-time (not progressively scanned). This is essential for seeing intermittent and frequency-varying signals. The Model RTSA7550 has all the standard features of a conventional spectrum analyzer such as frequency controls, […]
LCR meter resolves inductance to 1 nH, capacitance to 0.01 pF
Since its release in 2013, LCR-Reader has become a popular test and debugging tool for electronics development. It was important that the tool was offered at half price than its predecessor Smart Tweezers by reducing functionality and simplifying the operation of the device. On the contrary, LCR-Reader MP (Multi Purpose) offers many new features covering […]
New preform quality control instrument
For measuring the transmission value of preforms, Colour Consult introduces the new P1 desktop instrument for quality control. The instrument measures how much light passes through a preform or plastic cap. From transparent (100% transmission) to very dark, almost opaque preforms (0,1%). Small changes in transmission values are detected in an early stage minimizing waste […]
Isolated LXI thermocouple and voltage measurement instrument sports 24-bit ADC for each of 16 channels
AMETEK VTI Instruments announced today the introduction of its latest LXI instrument, the EX1401 a precision, 16-channel, isolated thermocouple and voltage measurement instrument. The EX1401 delivers accuracies of ±0.20°C with 1000 V channel-channel isolation, builtin self-test capabilities, and independent 24-bit ADC’s per channel. Independent Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) — implemented on a per channel basis […]
