Explore, Optimize, and Evaluate Trade-Offs for 5G NR Designs
5G New Radio (NR) introduces new end-to-end network architectures that enable high data rates and low latency connections. However, these advances come with design challenges for devices and components. These include taking critical measurements and adhering to test protocols to verify signal quality, RF performance, and network service quality.
Address these challenges with a complete set of tools for demodulation and vector signal analysis so you can explore a signal virtually from any angle, optimize it, and evaluate your design trade-offs. Keysight PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (89600 VSA) software supports over 75 signal standards and modulation types, including 5G NR.
