Keysight microwave and radio frequency at IMS 2023

With an end-to-end portfolio of product development solutions that quickly solve design, emulation, and test challenges, Keysight is enabling RF advances in non-terrestrial networks (NTN), IoT networks, and massive MIMO. Visit on June 11^th to 16^th, 2023 at the Keysight Booth #835, San Diego Convention Centre.

Contact Geri LaCombe to schedule media briefings and solution demonstrations.

Keysight will present the following demonstrations that are accelerating RF innovations:

• Production Open RAN and Over-the-Air (OTA) Testing for 5G Massive MIMO Radio Demonstration of live Open RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) testing.
• 6G Vector Component Analyser Solution – Demonstration with Nokia Bell Labs showing power amplifier (PA) measurements in the 6G sub-terahertz (sub-THz) D-band frequency band under wideband stimulus conditions.
• 5G–NTN Component Evaluation – Demonstration of the calibration and characterisation of NTN components used with dual-polarised phased arrays for millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. Showcases Keysight's Phased Array Antenna Calibration Manager, a breakthrough phased array antenna OTA calibration and characterisation test solution.
• Emulate Non-Terrestrial 5G: Demonstration of Keysight's NTN testbed applying timing and Doppler pre-compensation, using extended hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ), and measuring device-under-test block error ratio (BLER) and throughput.
• Test 5G Amplifiers 50% Faster – Demonstration of Keysight's newly introduced ENA-X vector network analyser (VNA) that reduces the characterisation of 5G component designs by up to 50%.
• 5G Field Signal Analysis – Demonstration of Keysight's handheld N9953B FieldFox field test solution to demodulate OTA transmissions with a frequency coverage up to 54 GHz and a bandwidth up to 120 MHz.
• DVB-S2X Digital Twin – Demonstration of an upconverter digital twin with the Keysight PathWave System Design to validate RF performance against real-world measurements.
• First Pass Success for 5G / mmWave Circuit and System Design – Demonstration of PathWave ADS 2024 to accelerate mmWave monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) module design with an integrated EM-Circuit simulation.
• Accelerate EMC and Wireless Compliance Testing of Wi-Fi 6E / 7 Devices – Demonstration of the IOT0047A IoT Regulatory Compliance Test Solution to quickly validate compliance against the latest FCC, ETSI, KCC, MIC, SRRC and DFS requirements.
