Scale your production line with TRX modules
Each TRX module contains fully integrated VSA, VSG and RFIO. Choose between two configurations of
RFIO: 1) with four full-duplex (FD) ports, and 2) with two FD and two half-duplex (HD) ports. The RFIO
uses rugged N-type connectors and is designed for the demanding wireless device manufacturing
environment.

Each TRX module has configurable frequency range and bandwidth and can be upgraded later using
license keys to add frequency ranges and bandwidths.1 New TRX modules can be added to existing
chassis to contain up to four TRX.

Performance Characteristics
Definitions
Specification (spec)
The warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored for a minimum of 2 hours
within the operating temperature range and after a 45-minute warm up period. Specifications are valid
from 20 to 35 °C unless otherwise noted.

Typical (typ)
The characteristic performance, that 95 percent of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level.
This data, shown in Italics, is not warranted, does not include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only
at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).

Nominal (nom)
The mean or average characteristic performance, or the value of an attribute that is determined by
design. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).

Conditions
These additional conditions are required for the test set to meet its specifications.

• RF, IF, and source alignments have been run within the previous 7 days
• ALL alignment has been run either within the previous 8 hours or if the temperature has changed
more than 5 °C from the previous ALL alignment

At time of shipment, each TRX module in the E6640A may have a different Calibration due date, which matches the Certificate of
Calibration. All module calibration due dates are within 60 days of each other. TRX modules added after the initial instrument
purchase will have different calibration due dates and different warranty end dates from the modules that were originally
purchased with the E6640A instrument. On the E6640A EXM, go to the System, Show, Hardware screen to view the TRX module

Solution Overview
The E6640A EXM wireless test set is a multi-channel platform that supports 5G NR device
manufacturing testing of up to four devices in parallel. The versatile test solution supports both
5G NR and legacy wireless and connectivity technologies, including LTE-A, 802.11ac/ax,
Bluetooth® 5.0, 2G, and 3G. Verification of multi-format device RF performance is possible
without the need for additional test equipment.

Integrated Keysight waveform and measurement software ensures accurate device performance.
A single software application provides waveforms for device receiver verification that enables the
user to perform a wide range of measurements, including EVM, ACP, SEM, power, and occupied
bandwidth (OBW).

Source and analyzer sequencing techniques deliver fast test capability by enabling the users to
optimize test plans by selecting the most efficient sequence for the device under test. Automation
based on the Keysight PathWave test platform provides quick and simple test plan execution as
well as OTA chamber control with software that is easily maintained over time.

Summary
The E6640A EXM non-signaling manufacturing solutions reduces the cost of device
manufacturing through use of an industry-proven platform to test multiple devices in multiple
formats. The solution implements streamlined automation and sequencing to optimize test speed
and bring devices to market faster.
