Electronics Test & Measurement Wireless Engineering generator generator Microwave microwave RF RF signal signalKEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES VXG dual-channel microwave signal generator supports up to 44GHz signals and 2GHz RF modulation bandwidth in a single instrument. Units address the most demanding wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) applications for 5G and satellite communications by decreasing test set-up complexity and reducing path losses introduced in over-the-air (OTA) test environments. Products deliver an optimized 5G NR test system setup leveraging dual-channel 44GHz vector signal generation with up to 2GHz RF modulation bandwidth, and phase-coherent capability in a single test instrument. Units provide low OTA test system path loss resulting from the industry’s highest output power versus error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) performance.
