Keysight Technologies has introduced a new high-performance handheld microwave analyzer that speeds installation of 5G, radar and satellite communication systems.
The ramp-up of 5G new radio (NR) services in mmWave spectrum around the world, coupled with a significant increase in deployments of satellite-based communications systems, is driving the need for cost-effective, field-based network testing, monitoring and troubleshooting tools.
Keysight’s new FieldFox microwave analyzer supports an extended frequency range with measurement integrity comparable to lab-based tools. A compact and ruggedized multi-purpose tool, the new wideband analyzer enables users installing an mmWave infrastructure to reliably measure key performance indicators (KPIs) of the network while in the field.
Keysight’s FieldFox, an integrated handheld analyzer with a task-driven user interface, incorporates spectrum and signal analysis, as well as signal generation capabilities. This enables FieldFox to accurately measure signal interference, antenna and cable performance, electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure levels, as well as pathloss in communication systems. Keysight’s new high-performance installation tool ensures 5G services in frequency range 2 (FR2) can reach full connectivity potential.
Keysight’s new FieldFox builds on the company’s FieldFox B-series originally introduced in May of 2019.

The new FieldFox microwave analyzer delivers high radio frequency (RF) performance in the industry’s most lightweight formfactor for on-site use. Now, 5G mobile operators, installation companies, satellite and ground station service providers, as well as defense organizations, can quickly and efficiently deploy advanced communication systems.
