Highlights

Evolving technologies in wireless communications and aerospace defense applications demand higher frequency coverage using complex modulation schemes like multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), beamforming, and multiplexing to maximize data throughput. The MXG vector signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results ideal for wideband multichannel testing. The MXG’s custom DAC application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) use direct digital synthesis (DDS) to deliver precise signals to minimize distortion and meet the evolving standards for component and module design.

 

  • Supports military radio comms emulation and MIMO test with 4 unique outputs in a 2U box.
  • Covers frequency range from 9 kHz to 8.5 GHz with best-in-class EVM, ACPR, and phase noise.
  • Delivers 960 MHz RF modulation bandwidth using DDS technology.
  • Maximizes test accuracy and frequency response with a built-in reflectometer.
  • Generates wireless standards-based signals with Keysight PathWave signal generation software.
  • Enables fast access to a dedicated team of KeysightCare technical support engineers.

The Ideal Signal Generator for Wideband Multichannel Applications

   

5G New Radio (NR) Power Amplifier Component Test

You need to minimize errors introduced from test equipment to accurately characterize the performance of your power amplifier design in the 5G FR1 band. The embedded reflectometer in the MXG vector signal generator expedites the setup process when correcting for the DUT match in minutes versus days. Simplify your test setup and characterize your power amplifier designs up to 20% faster.

Learn more about our new MXG signal generator and see a demo of best-in-class performance measurements like error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel leakage ratio measurements (ACLR).
