Radio altimeter flight-line test set adds fiber optic delay
The ALT-9000 universal radio altimeter (RADALT) flight line test set adds fiber optic delay to traditional radio frequency (RF) testing, enabling it to test all types of RADALTS on the market today. The RADALT measures an aircraft’s altitude above the terrain, by transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal down to the ground and receiving a […]
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 […]
Wireless system supports Wi-Fi 6, 6E OTA tests
ETS-Lindgren’s EMQuest software now supports the most current versions of Wi-Fi while maintaining backward compatibility.
RF test system handles Bluetooth Basic Rate, Extended Data Rate, LE technologies
The FRVS RF test system has been approved by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG), the governing body for Bluetooth technology, for testing Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR), Extended Data Rate (EDR) and Low Energy (LE) technologies. It is estimated by ABI Research and the Bluetooth SIG that about 4.5 billion Bluetooth enabled devices were […]
Economy VNAs feature units up to 20 GHz, independent CW sources for low-frequency models
Four new R&S ZNL and R&S ZNLE vector network analyzers can support up to 20 GHz of operation frequency. The economy VNAs now have the frequency range necessary to investigate even third harmonics for 5 GHz and 6 GHz band technologies, such as wireless LAN or mobile radio. The latest firmware release also includes a […]
Waveguide Gunn diode oscillators are mechanically tunable
A new line of waveguide Gunn diode oscillators are candidates for electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio systems, military and commercial communications systems and more. Pasternack’s new mechanically tunable waveguide Gunn diode oscillators cover WR-90, WR-42 and WR-28 waveguide sizes and support X, K and Ka bands. All models in this line operate at 50 […]
LTE V2X comm software supports V2X development modules
The LTE V2X PC5 Communications Software MX725000A now supports the Cohda Wireless Communications Module MK6C Evaluation Kit (EVK). The cost-effective solution provides automobile OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with an efficient tool to conduct required functional and regressions tests to evaluate C-V2X PC5 communications functions in devices and systems used in connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Anritsu […]
Wireless test sets support Wi-Fi 6E UE, chipsets, modules
A hardware option extends the frequency of the TRX Test Module MU887002A for Universal Wireless Test Sets MT8870A and MT8872A from 6 GHz to 7.3 GHz to address emerging Wi-Fi 6E designs. With the hardware option, the wireless test sets support RF tests of the 6 GHz band (5.925 to 7.125 GHz) specified by the […]
