- Keysight solution enables researchers to characterize
sub-terahertz amplifiers and other components in active transceiver
front-ends
- Technology advancements lay the foundation for next-generation
ultra-high data rate, energy-efficient radio systems
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) is enabling the
University of Stuttgart to conduct foundational research essential
to development of new integrated circuits (ICs) for 6G technology
with the new Keysight 6G Vector Component Analysis (VCA) solution.
This is the latest collaboration from Keysight and the University
of Stuttgart’s long-time research relationship.
The collaboration has supported the University of Stuttgart in
establishing Crosslink, a versatile multiplexing platform for
synchronous time- and frequency-domain analyses of ultra-broadband
communication channels. The Keysight VCA solution supports
Crosslink by integrating sub-terahertz (sub-THz) vector network
analysis with wideband modulation capabilities. This combined
capability enables unprecedented radio frequency (RF) component
characterization under full complex modulated conditions. The
result is industry-first, best-in-class noise and linearity
performance for analysis of wideband, high-frequency modulated
performance of components, circuits, and transceivers. By using
VCA, researchers can make significant leaps in the development of
the next-generation amplifiers, filters, antenna systems,
components, and the channel modeling and sounding needed for 6G
networks.
The Keysight VCA measurement solution used for Crosslink
integrates an N5245B PNA-X Microwave Network Analyzer, an M8199A
Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG), broadband modulation distortion
vector network analyzer (VNA) application software, and vector
signal analysis (VSA) software with Virginia Diodes (VDI) frequency
extenders up to 330 GHz.
The Keysight and University of Stuttgart collaboration supports
a large-scale equipment initiative funded by the German Research
Foundation (DFG). The initiative aims to prepare for a future of
massive data rate increases, new types of electro-optical fiber and
wireless communication systems, and the possible use of sub-THz
radio frequency bands. It supports the industry’s vision of rolling
out sustainable, agile, low-latency and high-speed 6G wireless
communication networks through the development of energy-efficient,
next-generation ICs.
University of Stuttgart Professor Ingmar Kallfass said:
“In collaboration with Keysight, we’re creating an innovative
measurement platform that covers a large variety of measurement
configurations that lets us evaluate the suitability of
ultra-wideband channels for wireless THz communications.”
Giampaolo Tardioli, Vice President for Keysight’s 6G and Next
Generation program, said: “Keysight is excited to collaborate
with cutting-edge research teams using the latest measurement
capabilities for the sake of advancing sub-THz technology, shaping
the future of digital technology and driving innovation. By playing
an active role in accelerating 6G research, we’re helping the
wireless industry in Europe and other regions achieve competitive
technological proficiency, essential in attaining economic
prosperity.”
