5G introduces test challenges related to massive MIMO, mmWave frequencies, and over-the-air (OTA) test.
In Keysight's latest eBook, Making 5G Work, you will learn how to:

• Accelerate 5G designs
• Pass conformance testing
• Speed up device carrier acceptance test
• Reduce 5G manufacturing test times and costs

Temperature impacts the performance of almost all electronic devices. This is a critical factor when the device is part of a measuring instrument. RF & µW power sensors are used to ensure the validity of test systems by providing accurate power measurements across broad frequency ranges and power levels.

With the emergence of highly capable, low-cost, wirelessly controlled drones, bad actors can easily execute disruptive operations, such as airport intrusions or surveillance abuse. Read how SkySafe rapidly prototyped and deployed a cutting-edge software defined radio (SDR)-based drone defense system on USRP, delivering industry-leading capability faster and at a much lower cost to the government.

Today’s digital designs and high-speed data converters require clean clocks with minimal jitter. The R&S®SMA100B produces cleanest signals, which are ideal as a clock source. Register and learn how to use our signal generator with the purest signal.

Combined with advances in phased-array antennas and integration technologies, radars are moving beyond military/aerospace markets to address a host of commercial applications. This primer showcases how NI AWR Design Environment provides designers with a host of modeling and simulation technologies needed to meet the challenges of all types of radar system design.

The Outphasing, Doherty and Envelope architectures have been known for many decades. More recently, significant research and development effort has been directed at these schemes themselves and also variants that hybridize, or use two (or more) of these techniques. This document provides a starting reference, supported by working measurement examples.

Frequencies in the mmWave spectrum will play a key role in 5G communications. RF technology that was developed around existing mmWave applications has evolved to encompass the needs of 5G wireless access.

High power amplifier combining has several unique challenges, this paper will show some of the advantages of using a complementary pair of 90-degree hybrids as the power dividing and combining network. In addition, advantages and tradeoffs this network configuration compared to the traditional in-phase networks will be detailed.
