Introduction

Designing and testing RF devices that connect the world

Wireless technology connects everyone and everything, everywhere. New innovations continue to emerge — from smart cities to smart wearables — generating billions of new connections and exabytes of new data. Our world is becoming more connected, and that makes meeting consumer expectations more challenging. Technology is evolving across multiple dimensions at once.

• Faster data communication speeds require higher precision signals, broader frequency ranges, wider bandwidths, and higher data rates.

• More devices mean more semiconductor integration, more features, more ports, and longer-lasting battery life.

• Newly connected innovations — from billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connected cars and connected power grids.

These connections require less power, more speed and accuracy of each signal and data communication. Keysight will be there with the test solutions you need to deliver breakthrough technologies faster.

The RF Toolbox: Testing  Today’s Communications Systems

Today’s wireless communication systems incorporate complex digitally modulated waveforms to maximize data and minimize bandwidth. The systems and underlying components which transmit and receive signals have become more complex, resulting in more complex test requirements.

A basic RF toolbox includes the following:

• Signal generators provide a variety of digital modulation formats to test modern wireless communication systems

• Spectrum analyzers search and detect low-level signals across wide frequency spans in desired bandwidths.

• Network analyzers provide enough dynamic range and accuracy to characterize the filters and amplifiers needed to support these systems.

• Portable, durable handheld analyzers bring lab-quality test instrumentation to the field.

Key features to fit your needs now and in the future

Sensitivity – the minimum received power required for minimum errors

Transmitter output power – sets the range and antenna size to meet your requirements Noise – sets the low signal performance from random sources, interference, and jamming signals

Adjacent channel selectivity – the ability of a receiver to demodulate within the desired band while an interference signal exists in an adjacent band Dynamic range – the difference between the highest level and lowest level signal detectable

Operating frequency – the transmit / receive frequency ranges or bands to meet your requirements

Environment / interference – factors such as humidity, obstacles in the transmit / receive path, and delays that can impact performance

Noise – sets the low signal performance from random sources, interference, and jamming signals

Dynamic range – the difference between the highest level and lowest level signal detectable
