Product overview

The R&S®PVT360A is a single-box performance vector tester that integrates a dual-channel vector signal generator (VSG) and vector signal analyzer (VSA), covering 400 MHz to 8 GHz with analysis bandwidth up to 500 MHz. Two independent TRX channels measure in parallel, cutting test time on base stations, small cells and RF components. A hardware-accelerated test sequencer is built in, and multiport or high-power output configurations are available, for production verification and component characterization alike.

Key features

  • Two independent TRX channels, each a complete signal generator and analyzer, measuring in parallel
  • 400 MHz–8 GHz frequency range with 8.5 GHz in overrange, and analysis bandwidth up to 500 MHz
  • A hardware-accelerated ARB test sequencer lifts measurement throughput on the production line
  • The multiport configuration offers up to 8 RF ports with a built-in RF switch matrix, so no external switching is needed
  • The high power option delivers +20 dBm, for power amplifier characterization
  • Smart Channel virtual instrument technology allocates channel resources flexibly
  • Web GUI and SCPI automation, for quick integration into a production test environment
  • Compatible with 5G NR FR1, LTE/LTE-A, NB-IoT, Bluetooth and WLAN
  • Works with R&S®VSE software for advanced vector signal analysis, DPD and O-RAN measurements
  • External frontend modules (up to 50 GHz) extend the frequency coverage

Typical applications

  • Production testing and characterization of 5G NR FR1 base stations (gNB) and small cells
  • Linearity, DPD performance and gain characterization of RF power amplifiers (PA)
  • Measurements on WLAN 802.11ax/be and Bluetooth 5.x connectivity modules
  • Functional verification of O-RAN open radio access network components
  • Automated production-line testing of RF components (filters, mixers, antennas)
