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.
