Helping You Focus Where It Counts
As missions evolve, one thing stays the same: the need to protect those who go in harm’s
way. The success of that effort depends on a changing mix of people and technology.
As systems becomes more complex, assuring readiness gets tougher. Keysight
is a source of assurance that your mission will succeed. Through our expertise in
measurement science and test processes, we give you more time for the bigger issues:
fulfilling today’s mission and managing the transition to what comes next.
By helping you build greater assurance in system readiness, Keysight frees you to focus
where it counts.

Take Your Next-generation Designs Farther in the Lab
Keep pace with evolving technologies and stay on the leading edge in radar and EW with our latest solutions for in-depth signal
analysis, integrated wideband streaming, and realistic signal generation. From simulations of multiple emitters to testing of precision
receiver components, our solutions are ready for the complexity of new-generation systems.
X-Series signal analyzers with multi-touch
The X-Series is the benchmark for accessible performance that puts you closer to the an-
swer by easily linking cause and effect. Across the full spectrum—from CXA to UXA—you’ll
find the tools you need to design, test and deliver your next breakthrough. The UXA is our
flagship, delivering wide-open performance and deeper views of elusive and wideband
signals.
www.keysight.com/find/UXA
Wideband RF streaming
Keysight has teamed with X-COM Systems to create an integrated wideband solution that
offers 255 MHz analysis bandwidth, 78 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and up
to 15 TB of memory. The hardware elements are a PXA or UXA X-Series signal analyzer
and the X-COM IQC5255B I/Q recorder. X-COM’s Spectro-X signal-analysis software and
our 89600 VSA software provide versatile playback and analysis capabilities.
www.keysight.com/find/X-Series
Wideband signal analysis
Our Z9070B solution uses a PXA signal analyzer, an Infiniium oscilloscope, and 89600 VSA
software to deliver wideband signal analysis with high dynamic range at an affordable
price. The VSA software is also compatible with Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes: the V-
and Z-Series models extend measurements to millimeter-wave bandwidths—33 and 63
GHz, respectively—to enable direct sampling of radar and EW signals.

Arbitrary waveform generators
From low-observable systems to high-density comms, testing is more realistic with pre-
cision arbitrary waveform generation. Our AXIe AWGs are the source of greater fidelity,
delivering wide bandwidth, high resolution and long playtimes—simultaneously. In the
M8190A, M8195A and M8196A, this unique combination lets you create signal scenarios
that push your design to the limits and bring new insight to your analysis.
www.keysight.com/find/M8190
Pulse function arbitrary noise generators
The 81150A and 81160A are flexible enough to simulate virtually any scenario. They pro-
duce triggered pulse streams internally or via an external signal. Varying the delay from
an external trigger to the start of an output radar signal can simulate various distances
from the control tower. You can also add distortion using the channel-add functionality
with the second channel.
