Reducing Sweep Time by More Than 10 Times
Cost Reduction in Testing for Wireless Component Manufacturers

Keysight Korea has launched the 'M9485A VNA,' a PXIe multiport vector network analyzer designed for high-volume wireless component manufacturing in mobile phones and base stations.

The new product is an industry-leading vector network analyzer that offers measurement speed up to 30% faster than competing products and features a wide dynamic range (maximum 142 dB dynamic range). It also provides the advantage of significantly reducing sweep time through a true multiport architecture that can be configured with up to 24 ports compared to existing products.

When measuring 24-port components, the existing 4-port VNA requires 264 sweeps in a switch matrix configuration, whereas the 24-port PXIe VNA requires only 24 sweeps. Therefore, the M9485A reduces sweep time by more than 10 times without performance degradation, thereby reducing testing costs and time for users.

Particularly when mass-producing wireless components such as front-end modules, switches, and filters, test speed is extremely important and must be conducted in limited space. The true multiport functionality configurable up to 24 ports minimizes space while improving productivity and throughput, enabling faster test speed. Additionally, by configuring only the number of ports needed by the customer, costs can be reduced and rapid reconfiguration is possible when test requirements change.

Furthermore, the PXIe VNA supports frequency offset mode, time-domain analysis, and N-port calibration measurements based on the same measurement and calibration techniques as the PNA/ENA network analyzer. By utilizing the PXI module concept, the new product enables users to perform flexible upgrades and maintenance functions as needed. Space can also be saved compared to benchtop equipment with the same number of ports.
