What: At the 2026 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS), Keysight Technologies will showcase solutions that help engineers accelerate spectrum utilization by solving complex RF design, emulation, and validation challenges. Demonstrations will highlight how engineers can move faster from concept to deployment while reducing risk across next-generation wireless, aerospace and defense, satellite, quantum computing, and 6G applications.
When: June 7 – 12, 2026
Where: Keysight Booth #19035, Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center, Boston, Mass.
Media: Contact Andrea Mueller to schedule media briefings and solution demonstrations.
At booth #19035, Keysight will feature three interactive solution zones:
Simulate Cutting-Edge RF Designs
Design faster, explore more, and optimize RF systems earlier in the workflow.
Featured demonstrations include:
- Transform RF Designs with AI – Demonstrates how AI-driven workflows automate RF design tasks, accelerate optimization, and improve design reuse across complex RF systems.
- Accelerate Quantum Design – Showcases unified quantum circuit, EM, and system simulations that streamlines superconducting qubit development and reduces costly test iterations.
Emulate Real-World RF Environments
Create realistic RF environments to uncover issues before deployment.
Featured demonstrations include:
- Turn Signal Complexity into Clarity – Demonstrates how advanced signal analysis accelerates spurious searches, spectral analysis, and MIMO evaluation in congested RF environments.
- Master High-Performance Signal Analysis – Showcases how wideband signal analysis enables high-speed validation of emerging V-band, satellite, and 6G waveforms.
- Unlock Sub THz Device Characterization up to 250 GHz – Demonstrates sub THz (250 GHz) four port differential measurements for precise AI hardware characterization in a single sweep.
Validate Complex RF Systems
Verify performance with confidence across increasingly complex RF architectures.
Featured demonstrations include:
- Generate High-Fidelity Signal Generation – Demonstrates ultra-low phase noise and fast-switching signal generation for advanced 5G, 6G, NTN, and radar applications.
- Push PNT Systems to Their Limits – Features realistic PNT emulation that validates GNSS and complementary PNT systems under complex real-world conditions.
