Test & Measurement

The PAM4 Error Detector (ED) is a new module for the Anritsu Signal Quality Analyser-R MP1900A series. It achieves error-free measurement of PAM4 signals at 116Gbit/s. Combined with the previously released MP1900A series PAM4 Pattern Generator, the new module supports high-accuracy BER measurements of PAM4 signals.  

The WaveSurfer 4000HD High Definition Oscilloscope (HDO) from Teledyne LeCroy is said to be the first in its class to feature 12-bit vertical resolution at all times, showing clean, crisp waveforms on a bright, 12.1in. touch screen display. WaveSurfer 4000HD is available in bandwidths from 200MHz to 1GHz, with sample rates of up to 5 GS/s and up to 12.5 Mpts of acquisition memory on each channel (25 Mpts interleaved).

The N9048B PXE Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Receiver from Keysight Technologies has been extended from 26.5 to 44GHz enabling customers to meet current and emerging compliance testing requirements according to various standards bodies, including MIL-STD-461G and FCC Part 15.

A real-time sub THz software-defined radio (SDR) for 6G research is built on NI’s mmWave Transceiver System (MTS) and Virginia Diodes’ (VDI) radio heads. Using VDI radio heads, the frequency range of the MTS can extend into the sub THz range.

A software suite, which delivers an integrated experience for electronic manufacturers to accelerate time-to-market of their digital and wireless platforms and products has been introduced by Keysight Technologies.

RIGOL Technologies has extended its RF Test Portfolio with the release of four new models of the DSG800 Series RF Signal Generator. The explosion of IoT connected devices has led to a significant increase in the amount of digital data being transmitted via local RF interfaces.

RIGOL Technologies has extended its RF Test Portfolio with the release of a lower cost Real-Time Spectrum Analyser. The RSA3000E Spectrum Analysers bring UltraReal real-time analysis to a new class of customer who previously had no access to this advanced capability.

A hardware-accelerated 5G mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture for thorough characterisation and validation of 5G mmWave beamforming AiP devices was unveiled by NI at European Microwave Week in Paris (October 1-3).

Upgraded 5G Protocol Test functions have been added to Anritsu’s MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station. The upgrade uses NR (New Radio) Fading software when implementing built-in baseband fading tests, making the MT8000A to provide support for 3GPP TS 38.521-4 B.1/B.2 V15.0.0-compliant 5G NR channel (TDL) model tests using NR Fading software implementing built-in baseband fading tests.

5G network emulation solutions from Keysight Technologies support the greatest number of 5G new radio (NR) test cases approved by PTCRB, enabling mobile device makers to efficiently accelerate 5G device certification.
