KR
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.

Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"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."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."
 

Cons

"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"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."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"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."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
