Keysight Enables AMD to Showcase Electrical PCI Express ® Compliance up to 64 GT/s
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced that it helped AMD accelerate the testing of electrical compliance for PCI Express ® (PCIe) specification for pre-production AMD server CPUs. By providing early access to beta software, Keysight enabled AMD to develop and test a PCI Express technology-capable server motherboard operating at up to 64 GT/s. The server was shown for the first time at the PCI-SIG Developer's Conference June 11-12 in Santa Clara, Calif. PCIe 6.0 is the latest version of the high-speed interface that connects components inside servers and computers. With speeds of up to 256 GB/s using 16 lanes, PCIe 6.0 is designed to enable faster data transfer, lower latency, and better energy efficiency. These improvements make it a key enabler for the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies supporting the development of more advanced and efficient AI applications. The performance of PCIe 6.0 over PCIe 5.0 represents a significant improvement and a critical requirement for servers to easily interface with accelerator modules used in AI applications, as well as next-generation deployments of 802.3dj Ethernet communications. Keysight provided AMD with early access to its CEM test tools, including Keysight's 64 GBaud High Performance BERT and Keysight's 59 GHz UXR-Series Oscilloscope and pre-compliance software. These tools enabled AMD to characterize, tune, and validate its server platform using pre-release beta code, helping ensure its hardware met performance expectations before industry-wide test tools were officially released. Amit Goel, Corporate Vice President, Server Engineering, AMD, said: 'By using Keysight's PCIe compliance test platform and early access software, AMD has been able to confirm and establish a stable demonstration of electrical compliance up to 64 GT/s. This early validation confirms market readiness for the signal-integrity health and electrical robustness of our forthcoming AMD server CPUs and reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, high-speed I/O for next-generation platforms.' Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight Network and Data Center Solutions, said: 'The progress the industry is making in bringing PCI Express 6.0 technology to market is remarkable. Our close collaboration with AMD has enabled another milestone in high-speed I/O, which is critical to supporting artificial intelligence and networking applications. By providing early access to our PCIe CEM test tools and measurement solutions, we helped AMD validate and optimize its platform, enabling AMD to deliver PCIe solutions capable of 64 GT/s to market faster and drive the next wave of AI and networking innovation.' Keysight and AMD demonstrated their PCIe test setup live at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2025, June 11–12, at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Keysight, NTT, and NTT Innovative Devices Achieve 280 Gbps World Record Data Rate with Sub-Terahertz for 6G
SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) in collaboration with NTT Corporation (NTT) and NTT Innovative Devices Corporation (NTT Innovative Devices), today announced a groundbreaking world record in data rate achieved using sub-THz frequencies. 1 This milestone was reached with Keysight's Vector Component Analyzer (VCA) in conjunction with NTT's and NTT Innovative Devices' high-output, wide-bandwidth J-band Indium Phosphide (InP)-based power amplifier (PA). In addition, advanced digital predistortion techniques were employed to mitigate amplifier non-linearities, ensuring robust, high-fidelity signal generation. The rapid advancement of 6G, AI, and autonomous driving technologies is driving a significant demand for wide bandwidth capabilities offered by sub-THz frequencies for high-speed wireless communication and precision radar sensing. Validating these systems with high-quality modulated signals is essential for development and deployment. However, achieving high-quality signals in the sub-THz range has been challenging due to the complexities of amplifying signals and managing distortion at higher power levels. The collaboration between Keysight, NTT, and NTT Innovative Devices successfully demonstrated the power amplifier's effectiveness in the 300-GHz frequency band. Testing confirmed its saturated power level at +9.1 dBm and achieved a 280 Gbps data rate (35 GBaud 256QAM) at 0 dBm power output — the highest data rate reported to date in the 300 GHz band. This significant achievement is largely attributed to Keysight's Vector Component Analyzer, built on the latest N524XB series PNA-X Microwave Network Analyzers equipped with digital predistortion techniques, which optimized signal integrity and minimized distortion to enable this unprecedented data transmission speed. Hirokazu Takenouchi, Vice President, Head of NTT Device Technology Laboratories, said: 'At NTT, we are consistently advancing the limits of carrier frequency and integration within radio systems. These developments are pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in wireless communication systems. The test and measurement industry is crucial in meeting the complex characterization needs of our devices. We have collaborated closely with Keysight throughout our design and verification stages. Keysight consistently provides innovative solutions in both its software and hardware platforms.' Akimasa Kaneko, Executive Vice President of NTT Innovative Devices, Photonic Components Business Group, said: 'By utilizing our InP technology and collaborating with several partners, we have achieved a remarkable maximum throughput of 280 Gbps. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in developing the broadest frequency bandwidth amplifier, enhancing energy efficiency and linearity, and addressing industry challenges.' Joe Rickert, Vice President and Head of Keysight's High Frequency Center of Excellence, said: 'This 280 Gbps world record underscores Keysight's commitment to providing the advanced test and measurement solutions critical for unlocking the potential of sub-THz frequencies for 6G. Our Vector Component Analyzer, coupled with our expertise in high-fidelity signal generation and distortion mitigation, is empowering industry leaders like NTT and NTT Innovative Devices to push the boundaries of wireless communication and realize the high-speed, high-reliability connectivity that will define the next generation of networks.' This achievement will be presented at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2025 on June 19 th, 2025, at 10:10 am in room 211 in the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, USA. 1 Documentation of the record-breaking data rate was published in IEEE Xplore ® About Keysight Technologies At Keysight (NYSE: KEYS), we inspire and empower innovators to bring world-changing technologies to life.
