Software Provides Integrated Solution for System Calibration, 5G Signal Creation and Signal Analysis
Highlights:
• Simplifies the building of test systems with wideband channels at the transmitter, receiver,
or both
• Facilitates complex calibration of RF to millimeter-wave measurement systems and creates task-based
test setup guidance—from signal creation to measurement
• Generates and analyzes 5G candidate waveforms to ensure accurate and repeatable measurements
SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 11, 2016 – Keysight Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: KEYS) today introduced its Signal Optimizer software—the industry's first and only all-in-one software for
calibration, signal creation and signal analysis of 5G candidate waveforms. By simplifying calibration
and the critical design tasks related to 5G signal creation and analysis, the software enables R&D
engineers to focus more time on being first-to-market with their own designs.
Calibration is essential to making accurate measurements of 5G signals; however, calibrating wideband
channels at RF, microwave and millimeter wave frequencies is a challenging task. Keysight's new Signal
Optimizer software overcomes this challenge by making fully-guided system calibrations easier than ever
before. The software also features task-based instructions that simplify complex system optimization
and measurements, and allow engineers to more confidently validate their 5G designs.
"R&D engineers at major wireless infrastructure and device vendors are designing and evaluating
5G candidate technologies using a complex range of different tools," said Mark Pierpont, vice president
of Keysight's Internet Infrastructure Solutions Group. "Our new Signal Optimizer software solves this
problem by bringing together 5G measurement science and flexible wideband system calibrations in a single
software solution. The result is a powerful 5G-focused solution for accelerating deployment of the fifth
generation of mobile wireless services."
Keysight's Signal Optimizer software can generate and analyze a host of 5G candidate technologies,
such as FBMC and F-OFDM. Enhanced LTE for 5G is also being developed along with new multiple access
on existing LTE signals. Future additions are simply licensed and added to the Signal Optimizer software
on an as needed basis.
