Technology improvements are constantly being developed in the era of innovation. Cellular technology's next generation will significantly enhance bandwidth utilisation, data transport, and application enablement. We collaborate with the innovation community to help create 6G standards. 6G is planned to provide download rates reaching 1 terabit per second, a latency of one microsecond, and infinite bandwidth. People will be able to engage with their environment in novel ways thanks to 6G, which will enable instantaneous communication, networked robots and autonomous systems, and wireless artificial intelligence interactions. We can assist you in making the vision of 6G a reality by leveraging our 5G leadership and knowledge.
6G Research
Keysight, as a founding member of the 6G Flagship Programme, can assist you with your innovative 6G research.

•A new sub-terahertz testbed for 6G research completed sub-terahertz wide- and extreme-bandwidth measurement findings over-the-air.
Test your 6G
This adaptable and scalable 6G sub-terahertz R&D testbed can cover a wide range of frequency bands, frequency bandwidths, and waveform types. With up to 10 GHz of bandwidth in D-band (110–170 GHz) and G-band (140–220 GHz) and up to 30 GHz of bandwidth in H-band (220–330 GHz), you can face emerging 6G R&D testing difficulties.
Application Includes:
•6G waveform prototyping and testing.
•6G sub-terahertz R&D hardware testing.
•6G wideband D-band (110-170 GHz), G-band (140-220 GHz), and H-band (220-330 GHz) signal generation and analysis.
6G R&D Testbed
It is difficult to meet the bandwidth and performance requirements of 6G.
An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) creates a wideband intermediate frequency (IF), which is upconverted to H-band (220–330 GHz) in Keysight's R&D wideband sub-terahertz (THz) testbed. The signal is demodulated and analysed using PathWave Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software after being downconverted to an IF and digitised using a UXR high-performance oscilloscope.
6G networks are predicted to be considerably more diversified than their predecessors, supporting applications such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), ubiquitous instant messaging, pervasive intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Mobile network operators are expected to adopt flexible decentralised business models for 6G, including local spectrum licencing, spectrum sharing, infrastructure sharing, and intelligent automated management supported by mobile edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), short-packet communication, and blockchain technologies.
Expectation of 6G
Recent scholarly studies have conceptualised 6G and its potential new features. Many of these forecasts contain AI, ranging from 6G enabling AI infrastructure to "AI designing and optimising 6G architectures, protocols, and operations." Another paper published in Nature Electronics aims to lay the foundation for 6G research, noting that "we suggest that human-centric mobile communications will continue to be the most important application of 6G and that the 6G network should be human-centric." Thus, strong security, secrecy, and privacy should be major elements of 6G, and the wireless research community should pay special attention to them."
The subject of what frequencies 6G will use is still up for debate. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, "frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising bands for the next generation of wireless communication systems due to large swaths of unused and unexplored spectrum." One of the most difficult issues in achieving the requisite high transmission speeds will be keeping energy and power consumption and related heat buildup in electronic circuits to tolerable levels.
Wiley's (IEEE series) December 2021 book presents a glimpse of current worldwide thinking on important 6G research topics. "Aside from technologies and services, mobile communication network business models are evolving and will continue to evolve rapidly in the coming years," it says. Future communications will be deeply integrated into corporate applications as a result of ongoing fixed-mobile network convergence and ICT convergence. The global expansion of 5G campus networks should be viewed as only the beginning of the transition to 5G enterprise networking and the creation of new business models and ecosystems.This also raises concerns about the role of international standards as well as the rise of open software stacks, which are paving the way for a new telecommunications ecosystem in which virtualized network functions from various developers and providers can be dynamically orchestrated and integrated in a secure, reliable, and energy-efficient manner."
