Keysight N9962BU/360 Phased Array Antenna Support Opt, Analyze 5G Air Interface, FieldFox Series

N9962BU/360 Option 306 for Keysight’s FieldFox handheld analyzer combined with a Ball
Aerospace / Anokiwave 64-element antenna array provides a unique, portable
solution for measuring and analyzing the 5G air interface in the field.

• Support a 64-element, single polarization phased array antenna with coverage from 27.5 to 30 GHz.
• Understand g-Node-B (gNB) beam characteristics by measuring signal power level across azimuth and elevation from base stations.
• Reduce measurement complexity with an integrated RF probe and phased array solution to capture energy radiated from the gNB.
• Simulate 5G user equipment (UE) and antenna performance.
• Verify phased array performance with boresight, polar antenna pattern with compass, and heat map (azimuth versus elevation) displays.

What is required for phased array antenna support (Option 360)?

Requires spectrum analyzer mode (Option 233 on combination models). Also requires phased array antenna, Keysight model 85571A-028. Recommend GPS receiver (Option 307) and internal preamplifier (Option 235). “A” Models only support N995xA and N996xA, since phased array antenna operates at 28 GHz.
