Increasing complexity and the need for higher frequencies and bandwidths, multiple channels, low-power operation, and space constraints are placing considerable demands on RF/microwave test equipment. Solutions extend from simulation software to bench, modular, and portable instruments to complete systems, for applications from R&D to compliance test and field service.
“The RF/Microwave test field is witnessing a profound change related to the diffusion of technologies using RF signals (and, in the most advanced applications millimeter-wave signals) to communicate, transfer, and exchange information,” according to an email message from Keysight Technologies. In the last few months, the company has introduced several hardware and software solutions.
