Announcing two multiport lab brick digital attenuators with Ethernet control. The four-port LDA-802Q, and the eight-port LDA 802-8.

Pasternack has just released a new line of short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration kits that are ideal for use in test and measurement, lab and RF & microwave production test applications.

Vaunix announced the release of a suite of solid-state digital step attenuators that deliver ultra-fine resolution for Wi-Fi 6 applications ranging from as low as 200 MHz to the latest Wi-Fi 6 allocations in the 6,000  to 8,000 MHz (8 GHz) C-Band range. 

Founded in the year 2000 by Professor Per-Simon Kildal, from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden, Bluetest is now celebrating its 20th year in the industry. Bluetest is pioneer and world leaders in innovative wireless test solutions with focus on over-the-air (OTA) testing. 

Driving down the cost of test is a key challenge in high-volume component manufacturing. The trend towards adding more ports on components such as antennas, cables, and frontend modules (FEMs) increases the need for accurate and fast multiport network analysis. Minimizing operator intervention and reducing connection and calibration times is essential to increase measurement throughput. Optimizing your vector network analyzer (VNA) configuration is critical to minimizing the cost of test in manufacturing. That’s when the multiport and multisite testing concepts come in, but there are challenges.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the first oscilloscope with eight analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument. 

Microwave Vision Group (MVG) has announced substantial interest in its innovative new StarWave system, with the first sale confirmed just a few weeks after launching the technology to market.
