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 […]
Test setup handles high-speed Ethernet cable assemblies up to IEEE 802.3ck
New compliance test automation software from Rohde & Schwarz for IEEE 802.3 cable assemblies allows for precise and time-saving compliance tests of high-speed cables and backplanes according to the IEEE 802.3bj, by, cd and ck standards. The R&S ZNrun vector network analyzer automation suite controls a vector network analyzer and a switching solution from Rohde […]
