5G FR2 Across All Bands: The three primary 5G mmWave bands—n257 (26.5–29.5 GHz), n258 (24.25–27.5 GHz), and n260 (37–40 GHz)—all fall within the P40's coverage. Band n260 at 39 GHz is particularly demanding: signals are weaker, cables are lossier, and antenna patterns are tighter. The P40 ensures your UTS7040A can handle receiver sensitivity, spurious emission, and beam quality measurements across every 5G mmWave band without external amplifiers cluttering your test setup.
77 GHz Automotive Radar Sub-Harmonic Testing: While the UTS7040A doesn't directly cover 77 GHz, the second harmonic of a 77 GHz radar signal falls at 38.5 GHz—well within range. Sub-harmonic analysis is a practical technique for characterizing 77 GHz radar modules using a 40 GHz analyzer, and the P40 preamplifier ensures you have the sensitivity to detect weak harmonic and spurious products at these frequencies.
Q-Band and Ka-Band Satellite: Complete Ka-band satellite system testing—from Ku-band downlinks (10.7–12.75 GHz) through Ka-band uplinks (27.5–31 GHz) and into Q-band (33–40 GHz) inter-satellite links—all with enhanced sensitivity. The P40 eliminates the need for external preamplifiers that would otherwise be required at the upper end of the frequency range.
Wideband Component Testing Through 40 GHz: Characterizing broadband amplifiers, filters, mixers, and antennas that operate across wide frequency ranges benefits from consistent preamplifier coverage. The P40 provides sensitivity enhancement across the entire 100 kHz to 40 GHz span, so you get accurate low-level measurements whether you're working at 2 GHz or 38 GHz.
