Data communication rates have soared in recent years and there is every reason to believe that this trend will accelerate. Information speeds that were less than 1 Gb/sec have surpassed 10 Gb/sec. Optical communication is greater than 100 Gb/sec, with 1 Tb/sec down the road. RF wireless communications is in the mid-gigahertz range, and RF […]

Combined Over-the-Air test solutions accelerate development and validation of 5G NR mobile devices
Keysight Technologies will collaborate with Bluetest to integrate Keysight’s first-to-market 5G new radio (NR) network emulation solutions with Bluetest’s reverberation chamber for Over-the-Air (OTA) testing of 5G NR devices in sub-6GHz (FR1) frequency bands. Leading mobile operators in China, Japan, Korea and Europe are pursuing ambitious plans to deploy 5G networks in FR1 by the […]
High-frequency automotive radar test equipment targets autonomous vehicle efforts
The new, enhanced Keysight E8740A Automotive Radar Signal Analysis and Generation solution enable radar-based, advanced driver assistance systems to proactively detect and mitigate risks of collisions. As advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles gain in popularity, they also raise concerns about safety and reliability. Autonomous vehicles are dependent on advanced sensor technology with highly […]
Compact instrumentation streamlines volume tests of 5G New Radio (NR) infrastructure equipment
The Keysight S9100A 5G multi-band vector transceiver (S9100A) is a compact and scalable 5G base station manufacturing test solution that enables network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to streamline volume test of 5G New Radio (NR) infrastructure equipment, accelerating deployment of 5G networks. Keysight’s 5G base station manufacturing test solution leverages common hardware and software platforms (including […]
LXI or LAN extensions basics for instrumentation and SCPI
Keysight Technologies conceived of LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI) in 2005 as a way to enable test and measurement interfaces using web servers in conjunction with Ethernet. LXI is used extensively in connecting computers and electronic test equipment, particularly oscilloscopes. Local Area Network (LAN)-enabled instruments can connect to a computer, using as a medium the […]

5G app developers get greater access to rental instruments
Electro Rent, a global leader in test and technology solutions and services, announced its plan to amplify collaboration in 5G testing and related services with Keysight Technologies. This strategic rental and distribution partnership positions Electro Rent and Keysight Technologies as experts in 5G testing solutions and enables their customers to go-to-market faster with one of […]
A test setup that simulates automotive radar
Jungik Suh from Keysight recently took us through a simulation of an automotive radar system, a hot topic these days thanks to work being done in autonomous vehicles. The point of simulating a radar signal is to provide a test signal for downstream electronics that will act on what shows up in the radar return. […]
Test bed demo: Getting ready for emerging millimeter wave applications
We recently talked with Greg Jue from Keysight who took us through a demo of an R&D test bed for emerging millimeter wave applications. Specifically, as an application example, Jue set up an example 802.11ay system. The 802.11ay spec is designed as an improvement of the 802.11ad WLAN definition that will have a frequency of […]
Making noise figure measurements with handheld analyzers
We recently were able to get with Roland Zhang from Keysight who took us through a noise figure measurement system that really comes in handy if you’re doing 5G measurements in the field. Zhang explains that in the 5G arena there will be a lot of amplifiers or up and down converters to convert signals […]
