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)
