Keysight S9100A

Key Features & SpecificationsApplications: High-volume test of 5G NR network equipment and radio components

• 5G NR base station transceiver systems
• 5G NR components, including remote radio heads (RRH), distributed units (DU), active antenna arrays, amplifiers, chipsets

Benefits

• Lower Cost of Test- Single configuration scales easily from < 6 GHz to millimeter wave, with a minimum of single-purpose components- Reduced footprint vs. benchtop instruments- Extremely high test-throughput (&ldquo,cloud ready&rdquo,)
• OTA readiness- Save space and cost with a single bi-directional head across all 24-44 GHz bands- Remote heads deliver best Power, EVM at your chamber- In-head switching for 2 polarizations saves both performance and cost at mmW
• Effectiveness for Manufacturing- 1.2 GHz bandwidth TX/RX with low EVM and ACLR for 5G NR- Operates as a single instrument (including switching, heads, API, measurements), for easy automation- Reduces rework and false verdicts with calibrated system accuracy

Functionality

• Wideband signal generation and analysis of 5G NR (3GPP Release 15 and higher) waveforms in both- FR1 frequency bands (0.38-6.0 GHz)- FR2 frequency bands (24-44 GHz)
• Features &ldquo,OTA-friendly&rdquo, expandable architecture that:- avoids high losses from switching and long cable runs- supports multiple remote millimeter wave heads and polarizations- supports multiple TX/RX channels

Measurement applications and softwareThe S9100A system includes 5G NR measurement application. Additional software may be compatible or recommended, such as

• N7631C Signal Studio Pro for 5G NR creates sub-6 GHz and millimeter-wave 5GNR waveforms. (Also, N7630C for pre-5G, N7608C for custom IQ and OFDM)
• 89600 VSA software to demodulate NR and pre-5G waveforms (option BHN), custom IQ (BHK), and custom OFDM (BHF) waveforms
• KS8400A Test Automation Platform allows quick creation of automated test harnesses, for rapid design validation

DescriptionThe S9100A 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver is a streamlined, non-signaling measurement system that enables automated testing of 5G NR infrastructure equipment in both the FR1 (sub-6 GHz) and FR2 (24-44 GHz) spectrum bands. Compact system enables users to validate 5G RF radio performance in high-volume test in 4G as well as millimeter wave. It offers the precision required for in-band design validation in all the new 5G NR bands. Together with a modular architecture, easy to use API, and Keysight PathWave automation software, the 5G Multi-Band Vector Transceiver reduces your cost of test, and accelerates your time to volume, especially in millimeter wave.To explore your requirements and available services, please contact your local Keysight representative.
