Devices for Gigabit Wireless
Backhaul (e.g., E-band 70-80-90 GHz) takes advantage of an atmospheric absorption “valley,” which corresponds to minimum attenuation that is conducive to applications requiring relatively longer transmit/receive paths. Similarly, mobile applications (e.g., WiGig, 802.11ad) occupy the 57-64 GHz band where atmospheric absorption can help mitigate interference in dense signal environments. OML is supplying vital frequency extension technology to characterize these emerging applications.
OML offers source modules, VNA modules and harmonic mixers that are plug-and-play compatible with modern microwave signal generators, vector network analyzers and spectrum analyzers, respectively. These modules enable engineers to easily and affordably expand their measurement capabilities to the mm-wave frontier. Using these tools, engineers can characterize their devices for emerging gigabit applications, including WiGig and E-band backhaul.

Synthesizer: High-Speed Tuning
The Luxyn frequency synthesizer features high-speed tuning from 50 MHz to 21 GHz in frequency steps as small as 0.001 Hz in a package that is only 4.0 × 3.6 × 0.9 in. and weighs only 15 oz. It is literally a fit for a wide range of applications, from broadband communications systems to test-and-measurement equipment. It provides spectrally pure output signals that can feed most measurement applications.
These synthesizers are based on a stabilized voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with extremely wide tuning range and fast frequency switching speed. The tuning range of a standard Luxyn model MLVS-0520 frequency synthesizer is 500 MHz to 20 GHz, with lower frequencies available to 50 MHz and higher frequencies available to 21 GHz.

Real-Time DSP for EW
Tektronix announced the addition of IQFlowTM functionality to its RSA7100A wideband signal analysis solution. This enhancement delivers the speed and flexibility needed to perform real-time digital signal processing (DSP) and support hardware in the loop (HWIL or HIL) test for radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems.
The RSA7100A's real-time analysis for live monitoring of recording events allows systems engineers to ensure they are getting the data they need from their time-consuming test scenarios. With new streaming APIs and interfaces, including support for 40 GbE and LVDS, the analyzer offers the performance and ready-to-go convenience that system engineers need to move forward with their next-generation designs.
