Discussions of signal jamming were once largely confined to electronic warfare forums. But with the rise of autonomous vehicle technology, jamming has become a mainstream topic. It now pays to know a few basics about both the test setups necessary to gauge resistance to jamming techniques and the principles of signal propagation. Many of 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 […]
First integrated dual-channel 44-GHz vector signal generator with 2-GHz bandwidth
Dual-channel microwave signal generators support up to 44 GHz signals and 2-GHz RF modulation bandwidth in a single instrument. Keysight’s new VXG microwave signal generators address the most demanding wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) applications for 5G and satellite communications by decreasing test set-up complexity and reducing path losses introduced in over-the-air (OTA) test environments. Many […]

Keysight’s new VXG microwave signal generators are the first dual-channel microwave signal generators that support up to 44-GHz signals and 2-GHz RF modulation bandwidth in a single instrument. They are designed to address the most demanding wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) applications for 5G and satellite communications by making test set-up less complex and reducing path […]
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. […]
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 […]
5G conformance toolset gains GCF approval for 5G NR NSA mobile device certification
Keysight Technologies Inc. says it has gained Global Certification Forum (GCF) approval for 5G New Radio (NR) Non-Standalone (NSA) test cases, enabling the mobile ecosystem to accelerate protocol and radio frequency (RF) device certification. Keysight’s 5G Conformance Toolset, which supports both Protocol and RF/RRM, got GCF approval on January 16, 2019 at the recent Conformance […]
5G NR network emulation setup verifies maximum data throughput rates
Keysight Technologies Inc. says it has demonstrated maximum achievable 5G New Radio (NR) data throughput performance using the company’s 5G NR network emulation solution, which is based on Keysight’s UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform, and Samsung’s 5G NR Exynos Modem 5100. Keysight says this development will help accelerate 5G enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications. It […]
Entry level 200-MHz scope includes 4-wire SPI decode
The 200 MHz, 4-channel models of the InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series oscilloscopes provide professional-level measurements and capabilities at an affordable price, including 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) decode and remote connection via local area networks (LANs). The new InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series oscilloscopes use the same user interface and measurement technology found in the higher performance Keysight […]
