Instrumenting 5G
The transition of test and measurement capabilities from 4G to 5G is not a simple step up. It is an evolutionary leap beyond the performance of current equipment in the development and operation ecosystem. A wider frequency spectrum. Unsurpassed millimeter wave bandwidths (28 GHz and 39 GHz). And standards that are forming but are still incomplete. These are just some of the challenges. And before they can be met, they have to be measured and tested.
We can help you do that with the broadest RF portfolio, the highest-performing converters, and deep expertise all along the signal chain.
