Keysight Technologies improves the ability of engineers to perform state-of-the-art designs, simulations and measurements at millimeter wave frequencies

The company extends its leadership in millimeter waves with continuous scan signal analysis at 110 GHz

Main features:

1. Leading continuous frequency coverage from 3 Hz to 110 GHz
2. Average noise level displayed as low as -150 dBm / Hz above 50 GHz
3. Maximum analysis bandwidth of 5 GHz, leader in the sector

Keysight Technologies, Inc. presented at the stand 2 of the European Microwave Week 2018, held at the ExCel Exhibition Center, a milestone for the analysis of signal and spectrum at frequencies of millimeter waves that will revolutionize the sector. The UXA X Series N9041B signal analyzer from Keysight is the first to cover frequencies up to 110 GHz with a maximum analysis bandwidth of up to 5 GHz.

To develop commercial tools for extremely high frequencies, you need the proven combination of measurement science and millimeter wave experience that Keysight offers. The UXA N9041B analyzer accounts for the unique capabilities of the company, presenting advanced input circuitry with low losses and efficient mixes, for example, with an average display noise level (DANL) of only -150 dBm / Hz by characterizing broadband signals modulated in the millimeter wave band Multimeter Oscilloscope

"This new UXA clearly demonstrates Keysight's leadership in providing the tools our customers need to achieve their marketing objectives in the agile communications market," explained Mike Gasparian, president of Keysight's Communications Solutions Group. "Together with the 802.11ad RF test solution, the UXA adds a new level to millimeter wave applications such as 5G, 802.11ad and automotive radars, and is the next step in our plan to bring technology to more than 50 GHz to commercial applications ".

The challenges of designing systems at these frequencies are significant, so it is even more necessary to have integrated tools for design, simulation, measurement and analysis. The software solutions for design and simulation of Keysight enable an efficient workflow that accelerates the development of devices and systems of last generation. These tools were used to develop the UXA N9041B and allowed to enjoy correct designs of their millimeter wave circuits from the beginning. Keysight engineers also used the industry's leading millimeter wave tools, including network analyzers , oscilloscopes , spectrum analyzers ,Signal generators- and associated application software to fully characterize your devices.

Currently, these tools are used in applications that include the development of 5G mobile communications, millimeter wave radio links, satellite communications, automotive radars, military radars and electronic warfare systems. On the other hand, emerging applications include the development of devices and systems capable of carrying out measurements in high resolution materials for the manufacturing, pharmaceutical and medical sectors.
