Siglent has created a multi-instrument mobile 5G signal analyser for 5G NR/LTE with 9kHz to 7.5GHz range and 110MHz real-time analysis bandwidth. “Combining spectrum analysis, vector network analysis, cable testing and antenna testing into a single portable platform, the SHA860A delivers versatility for base station deployment, maintenance, and on-site troubleshooting,” according to the company. Its 5G NR over-the-air mode demodulates ...
Anritsu has teamed up with Microwave Vision to offer a Wi-Fi 7 over-the-air tester. It combines Anritsu’s MT8862A wireless connectivity test set (below) as a signal source with Microwave Vision’s multi-probe over-the-air test system (right) to support IEEE 802.11be measurements – which is the standard behind Wi-Fi 7. “Advanced technologies such as 320MHz channels, 4K QAM and MLO are incorporated ...
Seica will be revealing two power semicondctor testers at PCIM in Nurember next month: one for ac and dc characteristics, and the other for thermal resistance. S20 IS3 (right) is intended to work with SiC and GaN as well as more conventional technologies, and is for ac and dc, static and dynamic testing. “It performs accurate and repeatable characterisation of ...
Toshiba Electronics has introduced a 60V 1A single-contact photo-relay in a 2.6 x 7mm 4pad SO4 package. Called TLP3640A, it can switch 60Vdc or 60Vac peak, with a typical on-resistance of 0.14Ω and maximum off-state leakage of 1µA. 100ms pulses of up to 3A can be carried. Operation is over -40 to +110°C, and de-rating starts at 25°C, dropping linearly ...
Rohde & Schwarz is claiming to have invented a new test set-up for verifying power amplifier performance when connected to an antenna, which typically shows a dispersive impedance, by swapping the vector network analyser for an oscilloscope. It is based on the company’s RTP084 scope, equipped with the wide-band modulated load-pull option (RTP-K98) and paired with its SMW200A vector signal ...
Bluetest and Rohde & Schwarz have created a MIMO stress testing perform for IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) equipment. It consists of R&S one-box CMX500 signaling tester (right), a Bluetest RF reverberation chamber – its RTS65, for example (below left), and Bluetest’s Flow control software. “In contrast to anechoic test chambers, reverberation chambers extensively reflect an RF signal inside the chamber, ...
B&K Precision has introduced a pair of 10 digit frequency counters reaching 3 or 6GHz, with ±1ppm stability across their +5 to +40°C operating range. “This series utilizes a reciprocal counting technique to provide high resolution at all frequencies, from 1mHz to 3GHz for the 1823B, or 6GHz for the 1826B,” said the company. “The counters deliver eight significant digits ...
