5G conformance toolset supports validated GCF and PTCRB protocol
Keysight Technologies says its 5G Conformance Toolset now supports the greatest number of validated Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB protocol, as well as radio frequency (RF) conformance test cases, for both 5G new radio (NR) non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) mode, as reaffirmed at the recent GCF meeting. Protocol and RF conformance tests are […]
EMI receiver gets time-domain scan, real-time scan capabilities
Time Domain Scan (TDS) and Real Time Scan (RTS) capabilities have been added to the Keysight N9048B PXE Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) receiver that enable real-time measurements and diagnostics for faster electromagnetic compliance (EMC) certification. EMC testing requires detailed and exacting methodologies to ensure that all emissions are accurately measured. Long test times impact test facility […]
Basics of signal jamming
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 […]
