We use it to decide the materials which are best for PCB designs

We are able to determine losses associated with different types of materials. Thus, we are able to decide the materials which are best for any given design. The electrical measurements that this equipment is capable of measuring are the standard parameters. Therefore, it is mandatory for each company to have a vector network analyzer (VNA).

Helps us ensure our materials' performance and DKDF measurements

I would definitely recommend trying this product. It's a really reliable and high-performance machine. In terms of a learning curve on the equipment, I had some training on the VNA before we purchased it, so for me training was done within a week or so. It was not really hard. But for colleagues, it took them some time to learn it. Upgrades are always welcome. Apart from VNA, we need to purchase all the fixtures, other equipment to connect to VNA. They are very expensive tools, and that's part of upgrading what we are doing in the lab. The solution, performance-wise is a ten out of ten. Price-wise, it's a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."

"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."

"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."

"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."

"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."

"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."

"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."

"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."

"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."

"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."

"It breaks down all the parameters that we need to look at."

"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."

Cons

"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."

"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."

"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."

"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."

"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."

"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."

"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."

"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."

"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."

"Sometimes, it's quite hard to get the technical support to come onsite. If we run into a hardware, measurement, or software issue, we may have to wait a long time for them to come."

"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."

"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."

"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."

"The pricing is costly."

"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."

"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."

"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."

"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."

"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."

"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
