Wideband Device Characterization

Keysight Understands Your Challenges

The traditional approach for wideband device characterization requires two-stage processing at the vector network analyzer (VNA) and source test stations. Two stations consume additional capital, plus ongoing operational expenses.

Systems typically require significant engineering resources and the time to design custom filters, switching, and regular system-level calibration. Having the appropriate hardware and software platforms are essential — engineering and measurement expertise is even more important for your success.

Solving Your Test Challenges

A revolutionary new methodology offers a single connection, single-touch measurement of key characteristics — including S-parameter, gain compression, IP3, Noise Power Ratio (NPR), Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), and Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR).

Additional advantages with a single connection, single touch measurement will help you:

• Save on your capital expenditures, including ongoing operational maintenance and overhead expenses.

• Minimize your test time for the design and validation of custom systems.

• Reduce your time to connect / disconnect, set up system calibration, and measurement analysis.

Besides Keysight’s hardware and software solutions, we have the expertise and knowledge to help you meet your design goals.
