Multi-channel coherent microwave RF source hits 20 GHz
A new RF Microwave Generator, the DSG5000 Series, can generate up to 20-GHz carriers with high signal fidelity. These new generators are available with two, four, six, or eight independent RF channels packaged in a single 2U full width mainframe. The DSG5000 Series features impressive long term phase stability between channels of ±1 degree and […]
GNSS simulator features compact form factor
The GSG-7, the latest Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal testing solution offered through the Orolia family of Skydel-based simulators, features a small form factor, an internal RF combiner, high-end performance with a 1000 Hz simulation iteration rate, real-time synchronization, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration, powerful automation, and multi-constellation and multi-frequency simulations. “The GSG-7 is redefining the […]
Antenna test system enables temperature-controlled measurements, polarization access
The R&S ATS1500C antenna test system from Rohde & Schwarz offers a new temperature test option and a new feed antenna. These additional features enable temperature-controlled measurements in a wide temperature range as well as parallel access to both polarizations, increasing test efficiency and flexibility. The movable R&S ATS1500C is a compact antenna test range […]
Ultra-wideband, omnidirectional antennas optimized for radial isotropic measurements from 150 MHz to 18 GHz
Aaronia OmniLOG PRO Omnidirectional Antennas are compact, ultra-wideband omnidirectional antennas suited for radial isotropic use from 150 MHz up to 18 GHz, encompassing most RF sources such as LTE, GSM, UMTS, WLAN, etc. These cost-effective antennas are specified for 1 W cw receive and 100 W cw high-power transmit, making them candidates for broad-range spectrum […]
IMS 2022 video: Test equipment
Several test equipment companies demonstrated their latest products for attendees of the International Microwave Symposium.
ESW EMI test receiver bandwidth goes to 1 GHz
The R&S ESW EMI test receiver will offer the possibility to increase its FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) bandwidth to 350 MHz with the new R&S ESW-B350 option, and to a market-leading 970 MHz with the new R&S ESW-B1000 option. This makes the R&S ESW not only an instrument of highest performance in RF, functionality, versatility […]
Exceeding 100 Gbps with a sub-terahertz 6G testbed
Here’s a look at testing necessary for super-high throughputs involved in the emerging area of 6G. Greg Jue, Keysight Technologies 6G research is in its early stages. The vision for what the International Telecommunication Union calls Network 2030 continues to take shape. While the industry is years away from starting the standards development process, subterahertz […]
Test setup simulates, characterizes, validates PCIe designs
An end-to-end PCIe test solution enables the simulation, pathfinding, characterization, validation and compliance testing of PCIe designs. To maintain performance goals and prepare for the PCIe 6.0 move to pulse amplitude modulation 4-level (PAM4), customers need a smooth transition from PCIe 5.0 to 6.0, where the integrity of PCIe measurements are backed by leading-edge tools […]
Test system handles latest Wi-Fi 6E devices
A newly integrated testing system allows testing to the new IEEE 802.11ax WLAN standard. The new band adds to the already available 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Anritsu’s Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A has been integrated with the EMITE E600 Reverberation Chamber, allowing developers to test the OTA TRP/TIS performance of IEEE 802.11ax devices […]
