Anritsu Company continues to address the test needs of signal integrity (SI) engineers with the introduction of options for its VectorStar® and ShockLine™ vector network analyzers (VNAs). The VectorStar Eye Diagram and ShockLine Advanced Time Domain (ATD) options are part of the expanding SI capabilities offered by Anritsu and provide SI engineers with improved tools to conduct channel diagnostics and model validation of high-speed digital circuit designs.
Keysight Technologies Inc. announced the availability of a new method of implementation (MOI) document for cable assembly compliance tests defined in Rev. 1.1 of the USB Type-C specification and Rev. 1.0 of the USB Type-C compliance test specification (CTS). M937xA PXIe Multiport VNA provides true multiport measurements with full N-port calibration and an inherent frequency domain measurement capability.
NI announced the NI PXIe-4081 7½-digit high-performance DMM and 1.8 MS/s isolated digitizer. The NI PXIe-4081 is the first PXI Express DMM available. It offers engineers the flexibility, resolution and isolation needed to tackle challenging applications that require smarter test systems. The NI PXIe-4081 is the industry’s most accurate 7½-digit DMM, with an industry-leading 15 ppm accuracy for DC V measurements up to two years after calibration.
Anritsu Corp. announced that Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) has selected the MT1100A 100 G/OTU4 Network Master Flex Analyzer. This increases the test and measuring investment that AMS-IX has made with Anritsu following on from the two MD1260A 100G IP/Ethernet analyzers. MT1100A Network Master Flex is designed to meet all of these demands, and to provide all the testing requirements for the second wave of innovation in the 40/100 GbE networks.
Keysight Technologies Inc. and Bluetest AB announced that the Keysight UXM Wireless Test Set has now been integrated into Bluetest’s leading reverberation chamber OTA test solutions, enabling mutual customers to make measurements quickly and with confidence. Bluetest’s Reverberation Test System RTS65 and measurement software Flow makes it quite easy to add additional streams to the test set-up. Bluetest RTS is available with up to eight measurement ports.
Keysight Technologies Inc. introduced two software updates for its real-time oscilloscope products. The software updates are currently available in the Infiniium oscilloscope firmware version 5.60. The N8827A PAM-4 analysis software update adds bit error ratio (BER) capabilities for 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) based signals. The N8834A MultiScope software update adds support for Keysight’s InfiniiVision oscilloscopes.
Pasternack has greatly expanded their lines of coaxial packaged noise sources covering frequency bands up to 60 GHz. Various types of noise source design configurations are available including octave band and broadband noise sources, amplified noise sources, noise sources with integral isolators, and precision calibrated instrumentation grade noise sources.
Anritsu Company introduces the MS2840A signal analyzer that features broad frequency coverage of 9 kHz to 44.5 GHz and best-in-class close-in SSB phase noise performance. With the high-end performance and frequency coverage that can be extended to the millimeter wave (mmWave) range, the MS2840A is a highly accurate tool to conduct wideband and narrowband measurements on next-generation 4G/5G designs, microwave and mmWave wireless backhaul and more.
The LSS series of satellite simulators enable RF testing of mobile satellite communications systems without the need for cabling and with true portability for optimum equipment location. These simulators are fitted with dual polarized horn antennas in both the uplink and downlink bands and for each frequency conversion there is a separate attenuator providing adjustment of signal levels to accommodate receiver sensitivity and range distance.
