RF Vector Transceivers Catalog

The Keysight RF Vector Transceivers Catalog provides a comprehensive overview of RF transceiver platforms designed for generating, receiving, and analyzing complex RF and microwave signals across wireless communications, radar, satellite, and advanced test environments. Organized into wireless test sets, multiband transceivers, and multiport transceivers, the catalog covers three capability classes that support frequencies from sub‑6 GHz to 49.2 GHz and analysis bandwidths up to 1.2 GHz. It includes compact single‑channel wireless test sets for mobile device testing, high‑frequency multiband transceivers for 5G FR1 and FR2, and high‑channel‑count multiport platforms for MIMO, beamforming, O‑RAN radio unit characterization, and phased array system validation. Together, these platforms support R&D, conformance, manufacturing, and system‑level RF test applications.
 

Explore the RF vector transceiver classes:

• Wireless test sets come in the VT4-class. VT4‑class wireless test sets support frequencies up to 7.3 GHz with analysis bandwidths up to 400 MHz, enabling RF generation and analysis for conducted and over‑the‑air testing. They support key wireless standards including 5G NR, LTE, WLAN, and GNSS, offering integrated transmit/receive capability in a compact form factor optimized for device validation and production test. VT4 models enable signal quality measurements, spectrum analysis, demodulation, and MIMO device characterization, making them suitable for smartphone, IoT, and consumer wireless module testing.
  
  
• Multiband transceivers come in the VT5-class. VT5‑class transceivers extend frequency coverage from 6 GHz to 49.2 GHz and offer up to eight ports for multi‑band and multi‑device testing. With analysis bandwidth up to 400 MHz, these units are designed for 5G FR1 and FR2 transceiver validation, phased array and beamforming test, and multi‑band radio testing. Their ability to perform parallel device tests reduces test cost and maximizes throughput, while advanced timing and synchronization capabilities support over‑the‑air testing and multi‑port correlation for infrastructure radio units, mmWave radios, and high‑frequency modules.
  
  
• Multiport transceivers come in the VT7-class. VT7‑class transceivers support up to 64 coherent RF transceiver ports with 200 MHz analysis bandwidth per channel. These high‑density systems enable multi‑channel, phase‑coherent testing required for massive MIMO validation, O‑RAN radio evaluation, RU performance verification, large phased array characterization, and end‑to‑end multi‑antenna system testing. VT7 platforms provide synchronized timing, waveform generation, and advanced signal routing across dozens of ports, creating a scalable environment for development and high‑capacity production testing of next‑generation RF systems.
   

RF vector transceiver architectures support a wide range of engineering workflows.
VT4-class wireless test sets deliver efficient solutions for device‑level RF verification in R&D and high‑volume production. VT5-class multiband transceivers support multi‑frequency device test, base‑station radio performance evaluation, 5G FR1 and FR2 characterization, and phased array system development. VT7-class multiport transceivers enable coherent multi‑channel analysis for O‑RAN, MIMO, beamforming, and complex RF subsystems requiring precise timing correlation and synchronized multi‑path stimulus and response. These architectures simplify RF testing across development, validation, calibration, and automated manufacturing environments.
