Digital radio test set expands into new markets
New software for the 3900 Series digital radio test set expands the range of tests offered by this platform into new markets.
"We believe the Tetra Direct Mode (DM) option in conjunction with the Trunked Mode option and Basestation option further strengthens the Aeroflex 3900 Series platform as the most comprehensive and powerful Tetra air-interface test tool available in the industry", says Graham Stevens, Product Manager at Aeroflex.
The 3900 DM option has extensive protocol call setup signalling capability confirming the radio's ability to accept and differentiate between different call types.
The option also provides talk back, test tone and silence capability enabling the receiver and audio functionality to be checked while in direct mode.
With the DM option burst type selection has also been expanded giving greater measurement flexibility and diagnostic capability.
The new option provides sophisticated handling for the initial continuous transmissions that occur in direct mode.
The Aeroflex 3900 Series is a robust digital radio test platform that incorporates an RF receiver, signal generator, powerful DSP subsystems and integrated instrument applications software.
Its future-proof, modular design and software re-configurable digital architecture not only provide a flexible test capability along with highly accurate and repeatable measurement performance for today's PMR test requirements, but also ensures that advances in PMR technology can be managed by the platform.
The 3901 covers a frequency range up to 1GHz.
The 3902 expands the operating range of the radio test set to 2.7GHz for both generating and receiving analogue and digital RF signals.
