Keysight Launches Battery Drain Analysis Solution
Published2017.05.23 17:23Keysight Technologies announced a battery drain analysis solution that provides insights into essential applications in the energy, automotive, and medical device industries.
Medical device manufacturers need to maximize the battery life of monitors and sensors that monitor the human body. Energy companies also remotely deploy battery-powered devices to collect information from water, gas, and electricity meters. Automotive engineers must ensure that onboard monitoring equipment operates safely and without defects for many years.
Mobile battery-powered devices switch between power-saving mode current, idle mode current pulses, and active mode current pulses in maximum output mode. It is difficult to measure low currents and current pulses with rapid rise and fall times across a wide dynamic current range.
Existing tools cannot provide accurate measurements when current signals change rapidly, and the current varies depending on the operations performed by the device and branch circuits.Keysight's integrated solution for battery drain analysis includes a DC power analyzer modular mainframe, a 2-quadrant source measurement unit (SMU), and control and analysis software.

[Interview] “Vehicle Communications, Where Even Simple Failures Can Threaten Lives—Fix Them with Accurate Testing”
If an accident occurs while driving, you call 119. Even if you witness an accident scene while driving, you call 119. It is the natural course of action. But what happens after the call? How many people would report it accurately, saying "A three-vehicle collision involving an SUV on lane 3 of Route 15 heading from Seoul toward the East Sea"? The European Commission's 2018 April announcement requiring all new vehicles to be equipped with an eCall (emergency call) module stems from this issue. eCall is a calling method in which vehicle type, time, location, direction and other data are transmitted either directly by the driver or by the vehicle itself in case of an accident. This is part of telematics technology, which is called the core of connected cars. We heard about telematics technology and its testing technology from Seung-taek Jang, Manager at Keysight Korea. Q. As autonomous vehicles become reality, the importance of safety directly linked to life is being highlighted. There are various communication technologies applied to vehicle communication such as V2V and V2X. A. Considering the current scope of application, V2I is suitable for cellular technology, while V2V is considered appropriate for WAVE technology due to technical safety, test specification readiness, and latency concerns. Therefore, we need to appropriately leverage the advantages of both cellular and WAVE communications. Q. When 5G, expected as a next-generation communication technology offering short latency, high reliability, and fast data speed, is introduced, the situation will likely be different. It seems testing will not be easy either. A. If all the various characteristics of 5G technology are satisfied, it appears it could replace both existing WAVE and cellular technologies. However, taking mmWave, one of the 5G characteristics, which uses broadband bandwidth as an example, 5G is like sending fast data down a wide highway. Therefore, high-frequency bands in the mmWave range are used. Measurements are conducted through radiated testing using antennas rather than conventional cables. For this reason, accurate understanding of mmWave testing and antenna technology is important.

Keysight Announces New PXIe Instruments, Including Arbitrary Waveform Generators
Keysight Technologies announced ten new PXIe instruments, including the industry's first PXI oscilloscope as well as a new arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) with three highly synchronized channels for precision tuning of IQ waveforms and envelope tracking. The arbitrary waveform generator and oscilloscope provide up to 1 GHz bandwidth to support complex baseband IQ signal generation and analysis for the latest 5G and aerospace and defense broadband technology evaluation. The new products include an arbitrary waveform generator and digitizer, enabling engineers to build core functions of the instruments or insert custom algorithms onto the onboard FPGA. While approaching the maximum performance and speed of the FPGA, the graphical design environment makes it easy to add custom configurations required for emerging technology research and design. The M3300A arbitrary waveform generator and digitizer provide real-time sequencing and multi-channel/multi-module synchronization using the FPGA and PXI reference clock, and support advanced multi-channel applications such as multi-user beamforming technology and quantum computing.
