Product Overview

Evolving technologies in wireless communications and aerospace defense applications demand higher frequency coverage using complex modulation schemes like multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), beamforming, and multiplexing to maximize data throughput. The MXG vector signal generator provides consistent and repeatable results ideal for wideband multichannel testing. The MXG’s custom DAC application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) use direct digital synthesis (DDS) to deliver precise signals to minimize distortion and meet the evolving standards for component and module design.

Key Features:

Supports military radio comms emulation and MIMO test with 4 unique outputs in a 2U box.

Covers frequency range from 9 kHz to 8.5 GHz with best-in-class EVM, ACPR, and phase noise.

Delivers 960 MHz RF modulation bandwidth using DDS technology.

Maximizes test accuracy and frequency response with a built-in reflectometer.

Generates wireless standards-based signals with Keysight PathWave signal generation software.
