Phased array antenna control and calibration solution for sat comm

To develop active electronically scanned arrays for satellite communications applications, Keysight is offering the Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration solution to quickly test their designs during early validation. The range of benefits Keysight explains include: Proprietary phased array calibration algorithms – Enables highly-accurate measurement of gain and phase for a single phased array element under test in an indirect far field test environment. When combined with fast synchronization of radio frequency (RF) test instruments, antenna positioning system, and phased array control hardware, these algorithms reduce phased array calibration times to minutes. Wide variety of verification tests – Includes fast gain and phase calibration, effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), radiation pattern versus beam scan angle, beam scan and range loss, cross-polarization isolation, gain compression, gain-over-noise temperature (G/T), and modulation distortion (error vector magnitude). Integrated solution – Features a single, user-friendly software interface that controls the antenna under test, Keysight's high-performance test instruments, and Keysight's compact antenna test range positioner and temperature control unit. Maximizes existing test chambers – Retrofits into existing anechoic chambers with the addition of a PNA-X vector network analyzer and Phased ...
