The new Keysight E5081A ENA-X is a
midrange network analyzer platform with integrated modulation
distortion analysis with full vector correction at the device under
test (DUT) plane in a single test setup that accelerates the
characterization of 5G power amplifier designs by up to 50%.

Demand for ever-increasing data speeds with ultra-low latency is
pushing the next generation of wireless communications systems to
operate at higher radio frequencies (RF). To ensure 5G New Radio
(NR) transmitters meet these operational demands, RF engineers must
fully test the design and performance of components such as power
amplifiers (PA). Obtaining measurements for PAs under realistic
conditions can be time consuming, requiring multiple instruments
and test setups. In addition, acquiring the precise EVM
measurements needed to certify PA conformance to 5G standards
requires using a high-performance VNA.
The new Keysight ENA-X addresses this need by giving RF
engineers a midrange network analyzer platform with integrated
modulation distortion analysis offering full vector correction at
the device under test (DUT) plane in a single test setup. With a
unique architecture, the ENA-X can perform multiple measurements
with a single connection, which simplifies test setup, drives
repeatability, and speeds testing.
Keysight ENA-X provides the following benefits:
- Integrated solution – Provides an integrated
upconverter, direct receiver access, and modulated distortion
analysis software enabling characterization of RF amplifier
performance under complex modulation schemes in high-power systems
operating at up to 44 GHz.
- Simplified setup – Offers a single test setup run with
one connection and requiring only a single calibration that
accelerates the characterization of PAs for 5G transmitters in the
5G NR FR1 and FR2 frequency bands by up to 50%
- Accurate, repeatable results – Builds on Keysight’s
metrology expertise with patented, custom monolithic microwave
integrated circuits (MMIC) to provide the highest measurement
accuracy, easily repeatable results, and the lowest residual EVM on
the market.
Joe Rickert, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight
High Frequency Measurements Center of Excellence, said:
“Combined with the powerful modulation distortion analysis software
that was previously only available on our highest-performing PNA
series network analyzers, the new midrange E5081A ENA-X VNA
solution is ideal for power amplifier characterization for 5G
transmitters. Thanks to its custom-built MMICs, the ENA-X provides
the highest output power, dynamic range, and system stability
needed by RF engineers without masking the performance of the power
amplifier under test.”
Keysight will demonstrate its comprehensive portfolio of
wireless design, emulation, and test solutions, including the
ENA-X, at IMS 2023 – Keysight booth #835.
