Anritsu Co.

Modern Vector Network Analyzer
Modern Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) architectures such as those based on Nonlinear Transmission Line (NLTL) samplers and distributed harmonic generators now offer a beneficial alternative to traditional sampling VNAs. They allow for a simplified architecture and also enable VNAs that are much more cost effective. It is shown that NLTL technology results in miniature VNA reflectometers that provide enhanced performance over broad frequency ranges and reduced measurement complexity, providing VNA users a unique and compelling solution for their high-frequency measurement needs.

Keysight Technologies

5G Channel Sounding
This new 5G application note provides insight into defining a channel-sounding measurement system for characterization of 5G air interfaces through a variety of measurement methods. The emerging 5G standard will almost certainly incorporate a combination of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, ultra-broad bandwidths and massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) methods. Although each of these adds difficulty to the design of transmitters and receivers, the most significant unknowns are in the over-the-air radio channels between user equipment and base station. Keysight’s 5G solutions are ready to enable deeper insights as the standards evolve.

Spinner GmbH

Low PIM Switch for T&M
The saving potential of SPINNER’s low PIM switches in RF testing environments is immense. They spare you the hassle of undocking and re-docking measurement cables when performing different measurements on the same DUT. Technically speaking, these are DPDT switches with two parallel-switching inputs and outputs. They are available with 7-16 and 4.3-10 connectors and specified for -165 dBc (typ. -170 dBc). A perfect fit for measuring VSWR and PIM in the frequency range between 330 MHz and 3800 MHz.
