Key Takeaways
Keysight introduced Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A RF signal analyzers.
Keysight Pro XA6 SA6320A delivers up to 8 GHz analysis bandwidth and frequency coverage up to 67 GHz.
Keysight Expert XA5 SA6210A supports fast swept tests to 32 GHz with dual receivers and up to 2 GHz bandwidth.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS - Free Report) has introduced two new Radio Frequency (RF) signal analyzers, the Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A, to help engineers test and validate complex wireless systems more efficiently. The new solutions are built to meet growing demand for 5G, Wi-Fi, radar and high-frequency wireless communications.
Keysight's Pro XA6 SA6320A offers up to 8 GHz analysis bandwidth and frequency coverage up to 67 GHz, enabling engineers to evaluate wideband and high-frequency systems with greater accuracy. The analyzer also features advanced RF performance, including improved noise and phase-noise measurements, GPU-accelerated 5G NR analysis and support for regulatory-compliant testing with up to 80 MHz resolution bandwidth.
The Expert XA5 SA6210A is designed to accelerate wireless testing and validation across 5G NR, wireless local area network MIMO, ultra-wideband, radar and other RF applications. It offers fast swept measurements up to 32 GHz, dual-receiver architecture and up to 2 GHz analysis bandwidth, enabling quicker detection of signal issues, improved measurement accuracy and more efficient RF testing workflows.
As wireless technologies become increasingly complex, Keysight's new RF signal analyzers deliver accurate measurements faster, helping shorten development cycles and streamline product design. These products are likely to strengthen the company’s position in the wireless testing market.
