Keysight Introduces RF Signal Analyzers to Accelerate Wideband Wireless Design and Validation

Key Terms

displayed average noise level (danl) technical

Displayed average noise level (DANL) is a measure of the background electronic hiss a radio or signal receiver shows when no real signal is present. Think of it as the quietness of a room: the lower the DANL, the easier it is to hear faint sounds. For investors, a lower DANL usually means better product sensitivity and performance, which can improve competitiveness, customer value and potential regulatory compliance.

error vector magnitude (evm) technical

Error vector magnitude (EVM) measures how far a real wireless signal deviates from its ideal transmitted form, expressed as a percentage or numerical value; lower EVM means the signal more closely matches the intended pattern. For investors, EVM is a practical gauge of the performance and reliability of wireless chips, radios or devices—like judging how accurately a factory produces parts—and poorer EVM can indicate higher risk of product issues, customer complaints or regulatory challenges.

resolution bandwidth (rbw) technical

Resolution bandwidth (RBW) is the smallest frequency gap a spectrum analyzer or receiver can separate when measuring signals, like the finest setting on a camera that picks out detail. A narrower RBW reveals weaker or closely spaced signals but slows measurement and can change noise readings. Investors care because RBW affects the accuracy of product performance tests, regulatory compliance checks and manufacturing throughput for companies making radio, telecom or sensor equipment.

5g nr technical

5G NR stands for 5th Generation New Radio, the technical standard that defines how next‑generation mobile networks send and receive wireless signals. Think of it as the blueprint for building much faster, more responsive cellular connections — like replacing a two‑lane road with a multi‑lane highway — and its rollout influences sales and investment across carriers, phone and chip makers, and equipment suppliers because network upgrades drive demand and new services.

mimo technical

MIMO stands for multiple-input multiple-output, a wireless technology that uses multiple transmitters and receivers to send and receive data at the same time. Think of it like several lanes on a highway letting more cars travel simultaneously and avoiding traffic jams. For investors, MIMO matters because it improves network speed and reliability, which can drive demand for telecom equipment, services and devices and influence revenue growth in wireless-related companies.

ultra-wideband technical

Ultra-wideband is a wireless communication method that sends very short, low-power pulses across a broad slice of the radio spectrum, allowing precise positioning and fast, low-interference data links. For investors it matters because UWB can enable new features—accurate indoor location, secure device pairing, and efficient IoT connectivity—that may create revenue opportunities, shift market share in hardware and services, and carry regulatory or licensing implications like any scalable radio technology.

pulsed rf technical

Pulsed RF, short for pulsed radiofrequency, is a minimally invasive medical treatment that delivers short bursts of radio‑frequency energy near nerves to reduce chronic pain without destroying tissue. Investors care because it is a distinct therapeutic option that can drive sales of specialized devices, affect regulatory approvals and reimbursement decisions, and influence adoption by doctors—similar to a gentler tool that offers an alternative to surgery or permanent nerve damage.

scpi technical

A SCPI is a pooled real-estate investment vehicle that buys and manages a portfolio of properties and pays investors rental income proportional to their stake, like owning a share of many rental buildings instead of one house. It matters to investors because it offers steady income and property exposure without hands-on management, while also carrying trade-offs such as limited liquidity, management fees, and tax rules that affect returns.

New analyzers help engineers capture more signal behavior with faster measurements, reducing rework and accelerating wireless design and validation

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today introduced the Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A signal analyzers, designed to help engineers design and validate increasingly complex wireless systems faster and with greater confidence.

Keysight Pro XA6 SA6320A signal analyzer.

As wireless systems evolve toward wider bandwidths, higher frequencies, and more advanced multi-antenna architectures, RF validation workflows are becoming more difficult and time-consuming. Even with multiple captures and repeated tests, engineers often lack complete visibility into signal behavior. These workflows can slow debugging, increase measurement uncertainty, and delay identification of signal impairments until late in development.

Keysight’s Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A signal analyzers address these challenges by enabling engineers to accelerate design, debugging, and validation workflows, reduce re-runs, and improve confidence when characterizing next-generation wireless, radar, and wideband systems.

The Pro XA6 SA6320A delivers up to 8 GHz analysis bandwidth, full preselection up to 67 GHz, and advanced RF measurement capabilities for demanding wideband, millimeter-wave, radar, and electromagnetic spectrum operations applications. The Expert XA5 SA6210A delivers fast swept measurements up to 32 GHz, wide analysis bandwidth up to 2 GHz, and dual-channel RF analysis in a single platform optimized for everyday wireless design and validation.

The Pro XA6 SA6320A enables engineers to validate demanding wideband and high-frequency systems with deeper signal insights. Key capabilities include:

• Wideband Capture to 8 GHz: Up to 8 GHz analysis bandwidth captures wideband signals, enabling broader signal analysis and reducing workflow complexity.
• Extends High-Frequency Design and Validation: Frequency coverage up to 67 GHz supports next-generation wireless, millimeter-wave, radar, and spectrum operations applications.
• Improved Signal Clarity: Advanced displayed average noise level (DANL), phase noise, and EVM performance reveal low-level spurs, interferers, and wideband impairments.
• Accelerated 5G NR Analysis: Graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated demodulation speeds for wide bandwidth 5G NR error vector magnitude (EVM) measurements shortens analysis time.
• Regulatory Compliance with Wide RBW: Up to 80 MHz resolution bandwidth (RBW) supports standards-compliant signal measurements.

The Expert XA5 SA6210A helps R&D, validation, and manufacturing teams accelerate 5G, wireless local area network (WLAN), ultra-wideband, radar, pulsed RF, and general-purpose wireless test workflows. Key capabilities include:

• Accelerates Spur Detection: Fast, image-free swept measurements up to 32 GHz help engineers identify low-level signals and spurious emissions sooner.
• Simplified Validation: Dual-receiver architecture enables 5G NR and WLAN MIMO measurements and cross-correlated error vector magnitude (ccEVM), supporting single-instrument analysis of complex RF interactions.
• Broader Wireless Test Coverage: Up to 2 GHz analysis bandwidth supports advanced 5G, WLAN, radar, and general-purpose validation workflows.
• Greater Measurement Confidence: High RF measurement accuracy helps reduce EVM uncertainty and improve signal characterization.
• Streamlined RF Workflows: A larger display, redesigned user interface, and legacy X-Series SCPI compatibility help teams transition more quickly and efficiently.

Jun Chie, Vice President, Keysight Core Product Management, said: “Wireless design and validation are becoming significantly more challenging as engineers work with wider bandwidths, higher frequencies, and more complex signal environments. The Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A signal analyzers are built to help engineering teams capture more signal behavior in less time, increase measurement speed, and move from design and debug to validation with greater confidence.”
