Keysight Technologies Inc., with the University of California San Diego (www.ece.ucsd.edu) announced the world’s longest bidirectional phased-array link in the 60 GHz band. At a link distance of 300 m, the 32-element array achieved a data rate of greater than 2 Gbps over all scan angles up to ±45 degrees. Data rates were 4 Gbps at 100 m and 500 Mbps at 800 m over most scan angles. Initial tests by a leading wireless provider suggest the system can deliver content to eight homes at a time at up to 300 m.

Keysight Technologies Inc. and ASELSAN Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., Turkey, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership on research and development of 5G communication technologies. Both parties are committed to working together on 5G enabling technologies—especially on active antenna systems and remote radio heads, as well as prototype verification platform integration and characterization capabilities, with a goal of enhancing future 5G wireless communication innovations.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced it will demonstrate an innovative and diverse range of electronic design, verification and test solutions at electronica 2016 (www.electronica.de), Hall A1, Booth 506, Munich, Nov. 8-11.

Keysight Technologies has collaborated with Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI) to create a 1.5 THz measurement solution for Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
