Highlights

Evolving technologies in wireless communications and aerospace and defense applications demand higher frequency coverage using complex modulation schemes like multiple-input / multiple-output (MIMO), beamforming, and multiplexing to maximize data throughput. The Keysight N5186A MXG vector signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results that are ideal for multiport testing. The MXG’s custom DAC application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) use direct digital synthesis to deliver precise signals in one easy-to-use box.

  • Covers frequency range from 9 kHz to 8.5 GHz with excellent phase noise, output power, EVM and ACPR.
  • Supports military radio communications and MIMO tests with up to four unique outputs.
  • Generates complex wideband signals needed for carrier aggregation and digital pre-distortion (DPD) applications with up to 1 GHz bandwidth per channel.
  • Reduces measurement uncertainty in power amplifier characterizations when using the embedded reflectometer.
  • Maximizes production capacity without sacrificing rack space in a 2U box.
  • Enables fast access to a dedicated team of KeysightCare technical support engineers.
