"The Keysight 5G mmWave Transceiver Head WR-34 28GHz Z2160A-104 KDP Signaling is a specialized component designed for millimeter-wave (mmWave) testing in 5G applications. It operates at 28 GHz and utilizes a WR-34 waveguide interface, making it suitable for high-frequency signal transmission and reception.
This transceiver head is primarily used in over-the-air (OTA) testing setups, allowing engineers to evaluate the performance of 5G devices, such as user equipment (UE) and base stations, in real-world conditions without physical connections. It facilitates the assessment of parameters like beamforming capabilities, antenna patterns, and overall signal integrity.
In non-signaling test scenarios, the transceiver head enables the measurement of key performance indicators, including Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR), and Total Radiated Power (TRP). These metrics are crucial for validating the RF performance of 5G components and systems.
The Z2160A-104 is designed to work seamlessly with Keysight's suite of test equipment, such as the E7770A Common Interface Unit (CIU) and the E6640A EXM Wireless Test Set. This integration allows for comprehensive testing across various stages of device development and manufacturing.
It operates specifically at 28 GHz, aligning with one of the primary frequency bands designated for 5G mmWave communications. It employs a WR-34 waveguide, which is standard for frequencies in the 22–33 GHz range, ensuring efficient signal transmission with minimal loss. The transceiver head is compact and designed for easy integration into existing test setups, providing flexibility and scalability for various testing requirements.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of 5G technology, ensuring device compliance with stringent performance standards is paramount. The Keysight Z2160A-104 transceiver head plays a critical role in this process by enabling precise and reliable testing of devices operating in the mmWave spectrum. Its use in both development and production environments helps manufacturers deliver high-quality, standards-compliant 5G products to the market."
