- Solution enables device makers and chip designers to quickly
test the FiRa ultra-wideband physical layer conformance of their
products
- Performs a range of ultra-wideband measurements, including
frequency, time, and amplitude domain analysis, as well as antenna
characterization and system-level testing
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has obtained a FiRa™
Consortium validation for its automated ultra-wideband (UWB) PHY
Conformance Test Tool, enabling device makers and chip designers to
quickly test the physical layer (PHY) conformance of their FiRa
UWB-based products.
UWB, a short-range, low-energy wireless technology, is quickly
being adopted for secure proximity and location-based services for
use by smartphones and industrial internet of things (IIoT)
devices. To take advantage of these new market opportunities,
semiconductor and device makers seek to validate their components
through FiRa to ensure conformance to UWB standards.
Using Keysight’s automated test solution based on the M9415A VXT
PXI Vector Transceiver with powerful PathWave Vector Signal
Analysis (VSA), X-Series Measurement Application (X-apps), and
Signal Generation, design engineers can perform a range of UWB
measurements including frequency, time, and amplitude domain
analysis, as well as antenna characterization and system-level
testing. The testing solution was built on Keysight’s expertise in
radio frequency (RF) and microwave technologies to perform an
advanced over-the-air (OTA) approach to map the angle-of-arrival
(AoA) using its general-purpose VXT transceiver platform.
Peng Cao, Vice President and General Manager for Keysight's
Wireless Test Group, said: “Keysight is proud to support the
FiRa Consortium's efforts to develop UWB technology, which has
become increasingly important for a variety of applications
including asset tracking, location-based services, and secure
access control. By providing a FiRa Consortium validated test tool
based on our vector transceiver, we are enabling our customers to
quickly and easily test their UWB devices for conformance with FiRa
PHY technical requirements.”
