Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is a multi-antenna method that uses multipath propagation to boost data rates in wireless communications. The transmit and receive antennas must be spatially separated from each other. The compact design of mobile devices such as smartphones is a limiting factor. These devices can hold at most two transmit and two receive antennas, which limits transmission to 2x2 MIMO.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced that Ixia, a Keysight Business, has launched a new software solution for robust, centralized management of a wide range of wired, wireless, and/or virtual visibility solutions.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces that it has developed the AQ6150B and AQ6151B optical wavelength meters. Thanks to their superior speed and accuracy, these new AQ6150 series instruments offer greatly improved measurement efficiency.

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced two new isolated Controller Area Network (CAN) flexible data rate (FD) transceivers that combine the industry’s highest bus fault protection, highest common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), and lowest electromagnetic emissions into a 35 percent smaller package.

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a setup that enables 3D RF measurements of antenna characteristics in a temperature range from –20 °C to +85 °C. Integrating the R&S ATS-TEMP climate option into an R&S ATS1000 antenna test system makes it possible for the first time ever to combine testing in an RF OTA chamber and climatic chamber testing into a single procedure, saving engineers measurement time.

Anritsu Corporation (President Hirokazu Hamada) is pleased to announce that Korean operator LG U Plus (LG U+) has decided to use Anritsu’s Network Master™ Pro MT1000A supporting speeds up to 100 Gbps for 5G service. LG U+ is promoting the expansion of mobile backhaul and fronthaul networks for 5G services using the MT1000A.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, introduced the BenchVue Lab Management and Control solution, a new software tool designed to simplify the configuration, monitoring and tracking of lab instruments, while optimizing student learning.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces that it has developed the AQ2200-112 light source module for the AQ2200 series multi-application test system. This new light source module features extremely high output level stability and is ideal for use on production lines in the testing and inspection of the optical fibers, optical connectors, optical isolators, and other components used in optical communication networks.

The new R&S ZNBT40 from Rohde & Schwarz is the first vector network analyzer (VNA) with a broad frequency range from 100 kHz to 40 GHz and up to 24 integrated test ports. Developers can use it for applications such as measurements on 5G antenna arrays. The multiport architecture is not only advantageous for tests on multiport components, but also for simultaneous testing of multiple DUTs in production to boost throughput. Rohde & Schwarz ensures specified performance on up to 24 test ports with the R&S ZNBT40. Also new is the R&S ZNBT26 for measurements up to 26.5 GHz.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers, and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced a comprehensive transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) testing solution providing the speed and margins needed to meet the Peripheral Component Interconnect or PCI Express® 5.0 Technology (PCIe® Gen5) standard.
