ADI Introduces Single RF Transceiver for 2G/3G/4G/5G Base Stations

Analog Devices has expanded its award-winning line of wideband RF transceiver based on their RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem. The ADRV9009 RF transceiver delivers twice the bandwidth (200 MHz) of previous generation devices and replaces as many as 20 components, cutting power in half and package size by 60 percent. With its industry leading performance and reduced size, weight and power, the ADRV9009 transceiver meets the rigorous antenna density and expanded network capacity requirements of emerging 5G wireless infrastructure equipment and aerospace and defense systems.

New USB Measurement Platform from Keysight Increases Efficiency in Design, Test, and Analysis

Keysight Technologies has launched a new measurement platform that ensures consistent, repeatable results across all phases of design. The new Keysight Streamline Series consists of compact USB instruments: vector network analyzers (VNAs), oscilloscopes and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) that leverage trusted Keysight technologies, measurement algorithms, and application software.

Controlled via PC through a USB connection, Keysight's new instruments help customers save space on the test bench and are easily shared among members of a development team. The small rack size makes them ideal for manual or semi-automated testing in design-validation and light-manufacturing applications. Click here to read more.

Anritsu Showcases its Latest VNA's & Test Solutions at IMS 2018

At this year’s IMS 2018 event, Anritsu is showcasing its range of new technology and test solutions for high-speed commercial and military applications. Among the solutions being shown at their booth is the differential noise figure analysis capability for the VectorStar Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) that allows engineers to conduct highly accurate tests on high-frequency components and systems.

The differential noise figure option will be introduced at IMS this year and will be integrated into a VectorStar MS4647B 4-port 70 GHz VNA. At their booth they will conduct noise figure characterization of differential devices using cold-source methods. Demonstrations will include quantification of correlated and non-correlated device-under-test (DUT) noise. A second 4-port configuration of the MS4647B with a UFX option will be highlighted at IMS, as well. Demonstrations on how its eye diagram analysis and test fixture de-embedding capability produce highly accurate measurements on differential devices will be conducted. Click here to read more.
