Driving down the cost of test is a key challenge in high-volume component manufacturing. The trend towards adding more ports on components such as antennas, cables, and frontend modules (FEMs) increases the need for accurate and fast multiport network analysis. Minimizing operator intervention and reducing connection and calibration times is essential to increase measurement throughput. Optimizing your vector network analyzer (VNA) configuration is critical to minimizing the cost of test in manufacturing. That’s when the multiport and multisite testing concepts come in, but there are challenges.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the first oscilloscope with eight analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument. 

Microwave Vision Group (MVG) has announced substantial interest in its innovative new StarWave system, with the first sale confirmed just a few weeks after launching the technology to market.  

Tech-X Corporation announced the latest version of its cross-platform, multiphysics simulation tool with the release of VSim 10.1, offering several key enhancements for both design engineers and research users.
