Keysight’s new EMI receiver triples test speed with 1 GHz bandwidth

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:KEYS), a $27.8 billion market cap leader in electronic measurement solutions with over $5.1 billion in annual revenue, has unveiled an enhanced version of its PXE Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Receiver that extends wideband Time-Domain Scan capabilities to 1 GHz measurement bandwidth with real-time, gapless measurement functionality. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations by 3.4x.

The upgraded receiver allows engineers to measure from 30 MHz to 1 GHz in a single step, compared to the previous version that required three separate steps. According to the company’s announcement on Thursday, this advancement aims to address bottlenecks in electromagnetic compliance (EMC) certification testing as product development cycles accelerate.

The enhanced PXE EMI Receiver features a standalone stream processing unit that reportedly reduces troubleshooting time from hours to minutes. The system maintains full adherence to CISPR 16-1-1:2019 standards for regulatory compliance.

"With the advanced PXE EMI Receiver, our customers, whether independent compliance test labs or in-house EMC teams, can now complete CISPR-compliant measurements with greater speed, confidence, and efficiency," said Jason Kary, Senior Vice President and President of Keysight’s Electronic Industrial Solutions Group, in the press release.

Yoshimichi Imaizumi, Senior Vice President of TOYO Corporation, noted that his company offers a solution combining the Keysight receiver with proprietary EPX software.

The new receiver will be demonstrated at Techno-Frontier 2025, scheduled for July 23-25 in Tokyo.
