multiport characterization for all their components. Testing
high-speed digital technologies like HDMI and USB 3.1 is even
more tedious. Not only do digital cables have multiple internal
cables and connectors, but each must undergo testing twice-
once in the time domain, and once in the frequency domain. The
need for multiport test accelerated the development of switchbased solutions for traditional vector network analyzers (VNAs).
When switch-based solutions were not adequate to keep up with
multiport test, the VNA itself was reimagined and optimized
for multiport test."

What vertical applications areas
do your products serve?

Robinson, Anritsu: "Field applications, including interference
hunting, spectrum protection, and 5G NR installation and
maintenance, are where the Field Master Pro MS2090A is used."
Malatest, Per Vices: "Our products are being primarily used for
applications in the following markets: radar systems, medicalimaging systems, radio links and mobile base stations, and GPS
navigational systems. The specific functionality depends on the
markets and the customers; however, the use of our products
as test and measurement equipment has been present in each
of the above."

(Editor's note: Many contributors to this report provided details
on 5G and Wi-Fi 6 test, which will be the subject of a subsequent
article.)

Gibson, VTI Instruments: "VTI RF/microwave switch systems
serve all the wireless telecommunication and wireless industrial
applications. VTI switch systems are not limited to testing a
specific wireless protocol."

Wong, Anritsu: "The VectorStar ME7838G and ONA solutions
address the needs of designers developing solutions for 5G,
automotive radar, microwave backhaul communication links,
opto-electronic markets, and other applications with high-speed
data throughput. The MS46131A ShockLine VNA targets 28-GHz
and 39-GHz 5G antenna testing, along with other microwave
one-port applications."

Raju, Ansys: "For automotive, our tools accurately simulate
RFICs and the standalone and installed performance of radar.
Engineers virtually recreate dynamic ADAS scenarios involving
V2V and V2X communications in Ansys HFSS SBR+. Finally, with
Accelerated Doppler Processing capabilities following simulations in Ansys HFSS SBR+, vehicle radar sensors are accurately
evaluated. ADP uses high-fidelity simulations to model synthetic
