Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top test & measurement products to have been released in April.

Signal generator addresses 5G, 6G satcoms testing

A four-channel vector signal generator, with frequency up to 54 GHz that offers up to 5 GHz of radio frequency (RF) bandwidth and low phase noise in a single instrument has been unveiled by Keysight Technologies.

This expansion to the company’s VXG series has been developed for demanding wireless industry applications which use a wide range of frequencies up to and including millimetre wave (mmWave) spectrum. These include new 5G mobile communications, 6G research, satellite communications and radar applications.

PHABRIX QxL series used in NVIDIA Rivermax SDK

PHABRIX has announced that its QxL rasteriser series, including NMOS analysis tools and the Extended Ultra High Definition (EUHD) option, are being used extensively in the NVIDIA Rivermax SDK.

The QxL Series has been deployed by NVIDIA Rivermax during new product development to ensure compliance with all of the reference standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, and to independently validate timing and tool chains.

Spectrum analyser enhanced for EVM measurements

Error vector magnitude (EVM) is one of the main parameters to characterise the performance of a digital transmitter or receiver, and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser from Rohde & Schwarz has been designated for high-end measurements requiring extreme precision.

With the new Enhanced Dynamic Front End, the R&S FSW will continue to offer advanced and highest quality signal and spectrum analysis.

PXI RF matrix modules cut test cycle time

Integrated PXI RF matrix modules with a 32x8 topology — representing a 33% increase in matrix density per chassis slot have been introduced by Pickering Interfaces.

The new compact-footprint 40-724 PXI & 42-724 PXIe modules provide high performance with a usable bandwidth of 300 MHz for non-loop-thru models.

Maximum speed for end-of-line programming and testing

High-speed programming and testing are supported by the high-speed Flash programming devices using the latest automotive ethernet standards 1000Base T1/100Base T1 or fast USB3.

“Our XDM-ETH module in combination with the ProMik bootloader technology is the most powerful end-of-line programming tool in terms of Flash programming speed as well as cyber security and test functionality,” says Jens Rosenberger, Marketing Manager at ProMik Programmiersysteme für die Mikroelektronik GmbH

Both the XDM-ETH as well as the XDM-USB module from ProMik ensure the lowest production costs for sophisticated applications that include MCU, NAND and NOR memory with high density.
