Analog Devices and Keysight Technologies partner on phased array technology

Analog Devices Inc. and Keysight Technologies Inc. collaborate on advancing the adoption of phased array technology. This technology is key to realizing ubiquitous connectivity and sensing by simplifying the development phases associated with the creation of satellite communications, radar and phased array systems.

Analog Devices’ family of phased array platforms is used to accelerate customer beamforming development by providing a complete solution that can then be tested and calibrated using Keysight’s phased array test solutions. This collaboration brings together the entire ecosystem with the aim of providing a complete solution for design, testing and calibration. Phased array antennas enable next-generation wireless communications as well as signal intelligence and earth observation applications.

“We are pleased to partner with Analog Devices to bring innovative phased array technology to a wide range of new customers and use cases,” said Peng Cao, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Wireless Network Test Group. “Keysight’s state-of-the-art measurement solutions have transformed phased array test times from minutes to seconds. In close cooperation with Analog Devices, we have demonstrated 70 times faster measurement speed while maintaining excellent accuracy. By bringing together the beamforming advances of Analog Devices and measurement innovation from Keysight, our customers will now have the opportunity for a complete, end-to-end phased array solution that will accelerate time to market and deliver exceptional performance.”

“Our customers require more than just a beamforming IC, but more of a system-level solution with array testing and calibration. Leveraging ADI’s system platforms, the collaboration between ADI and Keysight aims to help accelerate the adoption of phased array platforms for higher data rate communications and detection solutions,” noted Bryan Goldstein, vice president of aerospace and defense at to Analog Devices.
