Keithley Instruments Joins WiMAX Forum
By Niladri Sekhar Nath TMCnet Contributing Editor
Keithley Instruments, a provider of solutions for emerging measurement needs, has joined the WiMAX
Forum. The WiMAX (News - Alert) Forum is non-profit organization that promotes and certifies interoperable WiMAX products.
WiMAX technology facilitates wireless high-speed Internet access for laptops and other mobile devices over much longer distances than current wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi.
“Given our aggressive investments in expanding our RF measurement capabilities, our participation in this important industry forum is a natural extension of our commitment to the wireless communications test market,” said Mark Hoersten, vice president, business management. “ Wireless tests in general and WiMAX technologies in particular are fast-moving platforms that require the very latest test solutions, so our participation in the Forum s activities will play a large role in ensuring our solutions are consistent with the very latest needs of the market.”
Keithley has introduced a variety of new RF instrument platforms and software in recent years. Keithley has recently come up with 4X4 RF MIMO Test System consisting of the Model 2920 Vector Signal Generator with up to 80MHz of bandwidth and 100MSamples of arbitrary waveform generator memory and the Model 2820 Vector Signal Analyzer with 40MHz of signal bandwidth.
Both units feature a 6GHz frequency range for testing nearly any wireless signal, including Mobile WiMAX, WLAN 802.11n MIMO, and a range of other standard signals such as GSM, EDGE, W-CDMA etc.
