RF validation workflows are becoming more complex and time-consuming. Even with multiple captures and repeated tests, engineers often lack complete visibility into signal behavior. These workflows can slow debugging, increase measurement uncertainty, and delay the identification of signal problems until a later stage of development. Keysight's Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A signal analyzers address these challenges by enabling engineers to accelerate design, debugging, and validation workflows, reduce test repetitions, and improve confidence when characterizing next-generation wireless, radar, and broadband systems.

The Pro XA6 SA6320A offers an analysis bandwidth of up to 8 GHz, full preselection up to 67 GHz, and advanced RF measurement capabilities for demanding broadband, millimeter wave, radar, and electromagnetic spectrum applications. The Expert XA5 SA6210A offers fast sweep measurements up to 32 GHz, a wide analysis bandwidth of up to 2 GHz, and dual-channel RF analysis in a single platform optimized for everyday wireless design and validation. The Pro XA6 SA6320A enables engineers to validate demanding broadband and high-frequency systems with a deeper understanding of the signals.

Key capabilities include:

• Broadband capture up to 8 GHz: The analysis bandwidth of up to 8 GHz captures broadband signals, enabling broader signal analysis and reducing workflow complexity.

• Expands high-frequency design and validation: Frequency coverage up to 67 GHz supports next-generation wireless, millimeter wave, radar, and spectrum operations applications.

• Greater signal clarity: Advanced performance in terms of displayed average noise level (DANL), phase noise and EVM reveals low-level spurious signals, interference and bandwidth disturbances.

• Accelerated 5G NR Analysis: Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerated demodulation speeds for high-bandwidth 5G NR error vector magnitude (EVM) measurements shorten analysis time.

• Regulatory compliance with wide RBW: A resolution bandwidth (RBW) of up to 80 MHz allows for signal measurements that comply with standards.

The Expert XA5 SA6210A helps R&D, validation, and manufacturing teams accelerate wireless testing workflows for 5G, wireless local area networks (WLAN), ultra-wideband, radar, pulsed RF, and general-purpose applications.

Key capabilities include:

• Accelerates spurious detection: Fast, image-free sweep measurements up to 32 GHz help engineers identify low-level signals and spurious emissions earlier.

• Simplified validation: The dual receiver architecture enables 5G NR and WLAN MIMO measurements, as well as cross-correlated error vector magnitude (ccEVM), allowing single-instrument analysis of complex RF interactions.

• Greater wireless testing coverage: The analysis bandwidth of up to 2 GHz supports advanced validation workflows for 5G, WLAN, radar, and general-purpose applications. • Increased measurement reliability: The high accuracy of RF measurements helps reduce EVM uncertainty and improve signal characterization.

• Streamlined RF workflows: A larger screen, a redesigned user interface, and legacy X-Series SCPI support help teams make the transition faster and more efficiently.

Jun Chie, Vice President of Commodity Management at Keysight, stated, “Wireless design and validation are becoming significantly more complex as engineers work with wider bandwidths, higher frequencies, and more complex signal environments. The Pro XA6 SA6320A and Expert XA5 SA6210A signal analyzers are designed to help engineering teams capture more signal behavior in less time, increase measurement speed, and move from design and debugging to validation with greater confidence.”
