With today’s modular measurement solutions, you can configure multifunction instruments in a single chassis, matching the coordinated and mixed-signal digital and RF requirements for dual transmitter receiver modules (DTRMs). Using a combination of high-speed serial and parallel data modules with RF modules meets the unique test requirements for the mixed-signal digital-to-RF nature of the DTRM. Pairing COTS NI hardware modules and software produces a compact and highly customizable solution.
The New PXIe-5842 Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) is capable of RF measurements from 30 MHz to 26.5/54 GHz. Watch this webinar to learn how to get from RF to bits using this highly versatile NI platform.
Watch to learn:
- RF to Digital Test Workflow for Digital TRM
- Digital Integration and the Need for Mixed I/O Test
- Digital TRM Characterization
- Digital AESA Interfaces and RF Measurements
- DAC/ADC alignment and interaction with RFmx
