By David Vondran and Rodrigo Carrillo-Ramirez 5G broadband cellular technology entered its first major rollout phase in 2019. In recent years, 5G adoption has been very visible among the consumer electronics industry, with 5G capabilities now being a key selling point for mid-tier to high-end mobile devices. Behind the scenes, however, there have been a number of developments designed to ... » read more

The Essential Signal Generator Guide Building A Solid Foundation In RF — Part 1

By Keysight - 22 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Eliminate uncertainties and doubts from your test results with a reliable signal source. Engineers designing consumer wireless, military communications, or radar devices face an ongoing bandwidth crunch in spectrum filled with interference. An accurate signal generator offers precise and stable test signals for characterizing your device under test (DUT). It also lets you apply impairments t... » read more

Parallel RF Test For Next-Generation Communications

By Dieter Ohnesorge - 09 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

The test economics of state-of-the-art smartphones, tablets and routers demand highly parallel RF test. We are addressing this next wave in RF communications test, enabled by Wi-Fi 6E, operating in the 6GHz band and coming up to 7.125GHz. This forthcoming update to the Wi-Fi standard will extend the features and capabilities, including higher performance, lower latency, and faster data rates fo... » read more
