IMS2026 Spotlight: Keysight Introduces the XA5 Signal Analyzer

At IMS 2026, Sam Kusano of Keysight Technologies introduced the new XA5 Signal Analyzer, a next-generation platform designed for high-speed RF measurements, wideband signal analysis, and advanced multi-channel testing. The XA5 provides frequency coverage up to 32 GHz and analysis bandwidths up to 2 GHz, enabling engineers to characterize modern wireless, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor systems. During the demonstration, Kusano showcased the analyzer's high-speed architecture, highlighting how a newly designed ADC and FFT processing approach enables significantly faster measurements compared to previous-generation signal analyzers. The demonstration included: • Fast spectrum measurements with narrow resolution bandwidths • 5G NR signal analysis with 0.2% EVM • Dual-channel phase-coherent measurements • MIMO signal analysis • Cross-correlation measurements for improved sensitivity • AM-AM and AM-PM characterization of RF components • Simultaneous input/output device analysis Key Specifications: • Frequency coverage up to 32 GHz • Analysis bandwidth up to 2 GHz • Dual-channel receiver architecture • Phase-coherent measurements • Advanced component characterization capabilities SA6210A - https://www.everythingrf.com/products...
