6 GHz Vector Signal Analyzer
The ZT8650 Vector Signal Analyzer can operate in ranges from DC to 6 GHz. This new VSA provides the signal fidelity and real-time processing capabilities that enable a broad set of necessary RF and wireless test techniques, such as performing EVM (error vector magnitude), ACLR (adjacent channel leakage ratio) and IM3 (3rd-order intermodulation distortion) measurements or addressing complex MIMO applications. The ZT8650 provides the combination of high instantaneous bandwidth, high dynamic range, very high linearity, and very low phase noise necessary to test and characterize the latest and next generation of RFIC components.

VSA Optimized for RFIC Testing

• Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) provides functionality of one-box multi-protocol tester in modular PXI/PXIe architecture
• 6 GHz RF Spectrum and Vector Signal Analyzer for analog or digitally-modulated RF signal analysis
• Separate baseband I/Q inputs and LO input for demodulator RFIC testing

Future Proof Technical Specifications
