Today’s communication systems utilize high order modulation to achieve high data throughput, which requires faster clock rates that can increase symbol errors. A potential source of these errors is phase noise from the existing local oscillator (LO). This demonstration features the HSY9000A Series multi-channel RF synthesizer with the ultra-low phase noise option as an ideal LO substitute, and the HA7062D series for real-time phase noise analysis.

In an in-booth demo at EuMW 2024, a vector-receiver source-pull and load-pull setup will utilize two Nano5G™ tuners to manipulate source and load impedance and optimize the performance of a high-frequency, high-power device. The Nano5G model enables highly reliable passive load pull measurements for 5G applications, especially in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands allocated for FR2, although continuous operation is available from 18 GHz – 50 GHz.
